This sub-mod aims to remove parts of the map that rarely interacted with most of the rest of the map. Primarily this should improve the game play speed for everyone, but especially those using low-end machines. This includes Sub-saharan Africa and most RoI added content in and around India.

Download Link: **For CK2 Plus 3.07.4+**
**For CK2 Plus 3.07.0**

This sub-mod is not save game compatible with unmodded saves.

Shouldn't the Central Asia be in?
Though I would personaly disagree, I can understand removing West Africa, it also makes perfect sense to remove India, but Central Asia itself was a source of many Turkish invasions and largely interacted with the muslim world at least (+also the steppe of Khazaria and Kiev). No need to add Siberia, but Turkestan won't hurt anybody and will improve Persia.
 
The changes for those area look a lot worse on the map than they are. We're talking about roughly 9 provinces total over that whole steppe area. If anyone else feels strongly about it though I can add them in again on the second pass.
 
well, it's just an opinion.. and I do admit that biased one of somebody who's currently researched the history of Persia quite deeply. Nothing you should follow, but yes I feel strong that Central Asia does belong to CK2 map even if India is removed.
 
Keep in mind cutting out areas that specifically have Indian culture/religion allows me to also strip Indian events (something I forgot to mention in the first post even, my fault), freeing up some more resources.
 
Yup, but except very few buddhist and manichean provinces, there are no indian cultures nor religions in Central Asia.. well, and the buddhist ones are still in the Tarim Basin, which I keep forgetting that is excluded from vanilla map.
 
I'll put in the steppes ones again, but I think I'll stick to drawing the line pre-central Asia. There are just too many provinces there to really start adding them back in
 
Mod has been updated to be compatible with CK2+ 3.01.0 and the steppes provinces have been restored. This will be the final map change.
 
I'm pleased with the game performance on my machine but am still anxious to try this out to see how much better it gets when you remove all the areas I never mess with anyway. :)

Thanks as always zeress!
 
There is a strange bug with this mod.

When it is active along with CK2+, there is an epidemic of "Merry Men" events firing. With this mod enabled, I usually get Merry Men within the first week of the game, and many AI characters are getting Merry Men modifiers (which I am told should never happen). With CK2+ only, no Merry Men.

FWIW I don't have RoI, nor the Republic, but do have every other DLC.

did you just removed the provinces, history and events or really cut the map dimensions ?
 
map is same size, history/landed titles etc is gone.
 
This is the extent of the trimming. Every time I cut stuff out, it makes it save-game incompatible for other people using the mod so I'd rather not trim anything else.
 
This has been updated for the newest version of CK2+
 
See, this is what i wanted from that no india mod

I want central asia, i dont want india, but i also dont want to lose afganistan and my nice sun worshipping cult
Pissed me off and pushed me away from both that no india mod AND project balance because they used the pre ROI map that just awkwardly cuts off in the middle of asia
