0.16 Pagan - for CK3[1.16] and EU4[1.37]

CK3ToEU4, 0.16Pagan

For The Horde Release

After a very long time where most of the work was focused on maintaining compatibility with an ever-growing list of supported CK3 major overhaul mods, with the 1.16 release we finally had an opportunity to implement hordes properly, and do some constructive coding. Now we export proper hosts, merge Mongols with off-scope Mongolia when possible, and merge tribal confederations into united horde hosts, which finally might present some danger to Ming's mandate.

Looking forward to Asian expansion, that will solve so many issues.

Hotfixes

• Thankfully, none.

Coldfixes

• Fixed issues with localizations nested tooltips not being correctly sterilized before transfer to EU4.
• Fixed issue where countries without any applicable _ADJ locs would leave them empty. Empty isn't an option.
• Fixed an issue where the save claims it's using 2000 mods but in reality it's using 10, repeated 200 times or however many times as the save has been reloaded and resaved. Why, PDX...

Expansions

• Support for 1.16 CK3
• A host of RICE updates, as always. Really. A ton.
• Various TFE compatches.
• MB+ compatches as well.
• Rajas of Asia expansions.
• Cultures Expanded Expansions.
• Bronze Age Reborn support for incoming ImpToCK3 saves.

Shuffles

• Mapping fixes, expansions and corrections to tags, cultures, traditions etc.

0.15 Orisa - for CK3[1.12-1.15] and EU4[1.37]

CK3ToEU4, 0.15Orisa

Halfway There Release

Chugging along just fine, 1.37 is now supported, as well as major mods we follow such as TFE, RICE, and naturally ImperatorToCK3 conversions. Previously we had a major issue with TFE but hopefully all has now been fixed and you can use it as an important stepping stone towards CK3 era in Imperator megacampaigns. With the imminent end of EU4 looming, we don't intend to stop support, on the contrary, it will now be easier to convert towards a fixed and unchanging target (akin to EU4ToVic2).

Hotfixes

• Thankfully, none.

Coldfixes

• A fix for incorrect dynastic name/adjective generation for countries using dynastic names. Also, an option to disable them if desired.
• Fixed an issue with the Localization Unraveller that wasn't correctly generating/transferring CK3 locs to EU4.

• Support for 1.37 EU4.
• A host of RICE updates.

0.10 Jain - for CK3[1.5] and EU4[1.33]

CK3ToEU4, 0.10Jain

A Very Cultural Release

This release brings in support for CK3 1.5 and its dynamic cultures, something we're very proud of, and is fully forward compatible with Vic2 and colonial neocultures generated there. We've also fully synced up with 1.33 and fixed a number of bugs as well as added even more tweaks for better Imperator support.

Keep in mind, we're doing cultural conversions on a best-effort basis, as often there are no easy ways to map ck3 culture groups (heritages) to eu4 culture groups. Thus, your divergent and hybrid cultures may be a bit off (depending on what your choices), but generally the system works rather well.

Hotfixes

• Prevent crash when save has mangled or missing employers.
• Fix for a script issue that caused EU4 CTD on save load.
• Rakaly updated so 1.5 saves can be melted.

Coldfixes

• Saharan Pass wipe disabled for gameplay purposes.
• Tunjur culture should now appear.
• Primary culture will no longer be set as accepted culture as well, which sometimes happened and caused issues.
• Fixing Plati's RFE animism and frequency in religion swap event.
• Fixing renaissance spread for late starts (relevant for 1450+ games)
• Adding GUI's to Jewish based custom nations so the game doesn't crash.
• Judaism will no longer have its aspects listed twice.

Expansions

• A huge expansion to how cultures are divergent and hybrid handled, generated and exported.
• More religious icons by Plati.
• An override for CoA Designer mod so player flag is always crafted.
• Added hellenistic, vandilian, thracian_gothic and other cultures for ImperatorToCK3 compatibility

Shuffles

• Fixes to province mappings.
• Fixes to cultural mappings.
• Fixes to province names.
• Pechenegs now map to correct tag (PTZ)

0.9 Insular - for CK3[1.3-1.4] and EU4[1.32]

CK3ToEU4, 0.9Insular

Still in Maintenance Release

In the last five months there were a lot of changes to the converter, from various breakage and crashfixes (due to incoming broken saves) to major expansions (East Asia mod, religions flavor missions). With the massive list of bugfixes to EU4 1.32, we're hopeful the converter will be as stable as before, particularly in MP games over which stability we have no control.

Hotfixes

• Workaround for corrupted saves that have claims on nonexistent titles.
• Workaround for corrupted saves where supposed rulers don't have any domain under them.

Coldfixes

• Ironing out IMPtoCK3 imports that lack islam, now islam is removed and replaced with alternative religions out of CK3 scope.

• East Asia Reboot mod support. Hi, China!
• Custom faith icons by Plati, for both CK3 and IMP religions.

• African passes sterilization (to separate subsaharan africa from CK3 megablobs) is now configurable in configurables/african_passes.txt.

• Incorporated vanilla 's Mazdan blessings and holy sites to mazdan religion.
• Similarly, added Sikh gurus.

0.8 Hellenic - for CK3[1.3-1.4] and EU4[1.31.5+]

CK3ToEU4, 0.8Hellenic

Maintenance Release

This light maintenance release is necessary as 1.31.5 changed many aspects of the base game, but it also brings a few small enhancements and fixes.

Hotfixes

• CK3 saves with nonsensical -1 for incoming culture and religion have those now properly handled (ignored).
• Converter will no longer stop on incoming nonsensical landed titles but will still scream bloody murder.

Coldfixes

• 1.31.5 compatibility across a host of files, most notably techs, institutions and ages. This makes those files (and this converter) incompatible with 1.31.4 and lower.
• All countries have been fixed to use correct (modern) mercantilism definitions where needed.
• Localizations are read from incoming mods "/replace" folder as well as regular folder.

Expansions

• Islamic religions now output to predefined religious schools, so there will be greater variation from incoming CK3 faiths.

Shuffles

(None)
