[Sub-Mod] CK2 mini - Remove those unneeded areas!

[zeress]

So, how would one go about recreating this mod? And has a solution to the CTD mentioned in the OP been found? If not, any idea what could have caused it?

I honestly don't remember the answer to the 2nd question, sorry.

Basically first thing I did was blank out the history files of all the unwanted provinces. Note that I said blank, not delete entirely. This in combination with removing their entries in landed_titles will leave empty provinces with no holders. It's about as simple as that really.

The second thing I did was remove all on_action references to Indian religions. This is optional and i don't think the gain from this was very noticeable at all.

The third thing I did was manually change a few provinces to not be Indian religion/culture and give them placeholder characters as needed. Also optional

The hard part was re-arranging the African provinces in landed_titles to make up for the fact that several of the titles no longer exist. This part would be the hardest to replicate and also the most annoying to keep up-to-date with changes to landed_titles.

Feel free to toss me questions if you need a hand though.

I have 0 experience with modding, but I think I've managed to make a working version (At least it seems to work for me). Since i didn't really know what I was doing, I've only managed to remove India.

I personally haven't seen any improvement in perfomance, though.
