[Mozart41st]

Welcome to the Victoria United Modifications Project. This mod is the marriage of two great mods, the former Community Mod and the former Victory-X mod. the mission statement of this mod is to expand playability, to increase challenge, but to make the AI as intelligent as possible, to bring the game closer to actual historical conditions, and to make the game as fun as possible.

Not only will this mod make the changes that make you say "Gee whiz, why didn't they do that in the first place?", but it will make the game more dynamic. As I see it, one of the flaws of the current game is that it is very static, it almost always plays almost exactly the same in every grand campaign. The Community Mod includes a few tweaks here and there that make the game a little more unpredictable, and as you read the changes that have been made, you will understand what I mean. History is unpredictable, and the Community mod has taken steps to address this.

But above everything else, the ultimate goal of this mod is to increase the fun-factor several fold. And my personal guarantee is that anyone who takes the time to download this mod will have a lot more fun than they would have otherwise.

As the title suggests, this is a "United" mod. So if you have any suggestions or feedback, it is crucial that you share! This mod already incorportes many smaller mods, and various other creations of other players in the community, making it truly a community effort. So if you have any ideas, be sure to share them in the approriate thread.

-The resources required for building colonial buildings are increased by 5. This is to reflect the increase in output, as well as slow things down.
-The monetary cost of building colonial buildings has been doubled.
-Added ammunition, small arms, glass, and paper requirements for colonial buildings.


----Game Balance
-Austria has been greatly weakened to help unification events fire and for historical accuracy. She now incurs a large debt at the start of the game, and only has two state cultures, Hungarian, and South-German.
-Turkey has been simillarly weakened as well.
-The Treaty of Guadulupe Hidalgo, which awarded the Southwest to the United States, is now included.
-Unification for Italy is now much easier, and once it is unified, it is easier for Italy to acquire her provinces from Austria as well. There are now "Popular Unificaition" and "Conservative Empire" style events that can occur if Italy has still not united by 1880.
-The German unification process has been greatly simplified as well

----Uncivilized Nations
-Uncivilized nations may now lose their "primitive" status upon reaching 500 prestige or more.
-Korea, Siam and Egypt now have events which allow them to become civilized.

------New Countries

-I am very excited to announce that the Victoria Community Mod will include 4 all-new countries not playable in the standard version of the game! These countries were left on the cutting-room floor by Paradox and I am proud to restore them here. They were obviously in the game until very late, as they are mentioned in many game files, and even have their own artwork. In fact, Dai Viet and Wiang Chan existed in version 1.00 of the game! They are revolters that can be released by Austria and Annam respectively.

The new countries are

Siebeburgen- In other words Transylvania, can you lead your people toward industrialization and independence from Austria? Or will you be swallowed by the greedy Turks and Russians?

Ruthenia- This country is essentially the Austrian portion of the Ukraine. Will you break free from the Austrian bosom and unite the Ukrainian people? Or will your nation be crushed by it's stronger neighbors?

Dai Viet and Wiang Chan- The northern and southern portions of Vietnam, can you defeat Annam and become the cheif power in Southeast Asia? If you do, you still have the Europeans to worry about....

Other new countries include

The Paris Commune- A small, breakaway socialist republic around Paris
The Soviet Union- Triggered by a Socialist revolution in Russia
