Friends, I have big news for you all! *One of these days I want to talk about a big partnership we're going to do: This could even lead to the best of the best mods for the Age of History II community. Me and @Lim10 (TWoR) have been talking about this since the very first release of our mods, and this is what we are talking about: merging our mods! Yes, you didn't hear wrong, we have been thinking about merging Colonial Wars and The War of Revolutions for a while. Our mods have good and bad sides, and with such a merger, both sides will be able to gain great benefits. As it is known, our mods have very close dates and can be combined to a certain extent. Our goal will be to take the good parts of our mods and blend them. We also plan to do things like partnership via Discord and Youtube. This partnership is a huge step forward for the Age of History II community, and we are excited to see what the future holds. We believe that this merger will not only improve the quality of our mods but also bring our communities closer together. We can't wait to share more details with you all soon, so stay tuned for updates!* This page is a collab with TWOR! Welcome to Colonial Wars! So you might ask wtf is colonial wars? Colonial Wars is a mod that I've been working on for a long time, but due to some problems, it was dead. But it's once more alive! What is the story of this mod? It has been a long time since the style of government and management of the rulers of the world has been the same, it has not changed much, but these years, the world is changing. in the east, the islands of Japan have been united under the control of a unified government. In India, many new colonial companies are emerging. In the Middle East, Persian fortifications are weakening. In America, the indigenous people have left no choice but to cooperate with the Europeans, and they are in danger of extinction and the European colonies in Africa are progressing. But most importantly, frightening conditions have arisen in Europe. Since the beginning of the 17th century, Europe is undergoing a drastic and revolutionary transformation, and a new era is coming. People call these changes and evolution "The Enlightenment movement" The thoughts of Protestantism are progressing, the freedom of expression and the media is greatly increased And they are competing with Catholic Church. The volume of accusations towards the Pope and the Vatican has greatly increased. all the people have lost their trust and belief in the Catholic Church. The class distance in European societies is increasing and a new level of classes ie aristocratic families entered the society and they have established a new system of modern slavery... In the meantime, there have been major wars between the governments of Europe and they have caused many deaths, feudalism is on the verge of extinction. The colonial rivalry between France and Great Britain has grown and the relations between these two countries are very frightening. In Central Europe, a new German kingdom of Prussia is setting foot among the European powers and, Silesia, one of the most important lands of Habsburg Austria, was annexed under their control. The Austrian Empress is thirsty for war and revenge against Prussia, a huge war is coming... Fedualism is dying... How does this mod work? This modification for the age of civilizations called "Colonial Wars" adds a new scenario for 1746. In this scenario, Great Britain, the Kingdom of France, the Kingdom of Spain, Austria (the kingdom of Habsburg), the Kingdom of Prussia, the Swedish Kingdom, the Russian Empire, the Afshariyeh dynasty (Iran), and the Viceroyalty of Bengal have complete and interesting content. Alongside, we have created relatively smaller content for Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Portuguese kingdom. Now you may be asked how the Event system of this mod works. Well, we have designed two main Events trees. The first tree is "National Reforms", in these events, as a leader of a country you must make reforms to the development of your army, technology, economy, and the society of your country. however, there is a small chance for your reforms to fail and will hit your economy. In the second root, we have "The Diplomatic Focus Tree", in The Diplomatic Focus Tree you have to make decisions related to your country's diplomacy that will give you Buffs or Change Your Relations With Other Countries... Currently, I and my discord modding team are working every day on the mod, even though we have a big modding team the progress is slow because of the high amount of research and writing that we must do. Countries that are planned to have full content: -Spanish Empire: 100% done (Available in beta) -Kingdom of France: 30% done (In full release) -Great Britain: 30% done (In full release) -Kingdom of Prussia: 100% done (Available in beta) -Kingdom of Sweden: 10% done (In full release) -Habsburg Monarchy: 30% done (In full release) -Russian Empire: 40% done (In full release) -Viceroy of Bengal 100% done (Available in beta) Features of this mod: -New songs! -New Leaders! -High-resolution leader portraits! -New map background! -Historical accurate borders! -More than 200 new provinces! -New user interface! -New icons! -New Scenarios! -New font! -Accurate world population (1746)! -New civilizations! -Diplomatic event tree for major countries! -National reform events for major countries! -Instruction events for countries! -Alternate path's! -Seven years of war events! -A lot of new government types! -Leader buffs and de-buffs1 -Historical diplomatic relations and alliances -African/American Tribes and their alliances with colonial powers -Colonial governments and Puppets -World news events -Removed liberty desire codes Here we have some Screenshots And Teasers about the mod! National reform events Colonial Governments Instruction events Diplomatic event tree Diplomatic Revolution Large-resolution leader portraits --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to contact me and give me ideas for the mod? Well, we have a discord server that we put the lastest new's and teaser's about the mod in it, we have a big community of more than 450 members that are giving us idea's and opinions. you can also join the server using this link: https://discord.gg/dfJd3rfd7F Sadly our android developer wasn't able to convert the mod to android, and I also tried and it's not working. There probably some bugs with the mod's map. If you think you are able to make the android version please contact me in dms because I REALLY need it. Pc version (Google drive): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SWUllv2nwcZYKxmXhtHg3o-Jvzwq98Op/view?usp=drivesdk Make sure you give me your opinion and idea's about the mod down here in the comments! ❤️

I made a guide for editing the user interface of the game. If you have zero knowledge of changing the UI make sure you read the guide fully before editing anything. The guide is a PNG file but it has a very big resolution, like 10 megabites. I think that it will crash if you try to open it on mobile. link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Uw4czyWB01USGH-bjNFUPDLkTLNkRvsJ/view?usp=share_link Also i have a discord server with more than 700 members, i'd be thankful if you join! https://discord.gg/dfJd3rfd7F

Welcome, I'd want this thread to be widespread because it containts a potential milestone in the history of the post-release AoC2 development. Łukasz, please do leave a note so I can know you are reading this. Economy in this game is fun but probably unattended by most players part of the game. And it is most likely to stay this way due to the fact, that it is also an extremely tiring process, which requires you to move your mouse like a mad man and click like some furious asian in dota. Let me tell you what you have to do in order to increase Economy, Development, Stability or Happiness in a single province. Here's what I do: Look at the bottom-left panel of the screen. Click a desired icon. I'll go for Development. Now you see a list of your provinces with their state. Now click on one of them twice. Move the slider all the way to the right side and confirm. Repeat all above for every province until your treasury is empty or you run out of movement points, click next turn. Repeat all above, continue until you maxed out all your provinces or you die of old age. This looks terrible when you read it, and it is just as terrible in-game as you would expect. Now let me tell you how I imagine it should be done: Again - Look at the bottom-left panel of the screen. Click a desired icon. List pops up but you can also interact with the map. You want to quickly fill the province with maximum amount of investment you are allowed to do using the slider, but withous using the slider. You click the Left Shift and on each province a pop up is displayed showing you the cost of that operation. Click Left Shift+LMB and it's done. This way you can swiftly boost multiple provinces in under 5 seconds. Why do I find it important? Because let me tell you - it's fun, it's faster than conquering and having 300 000 Economy doesn't leave you with 1000 Economy in each of your 300 provinces. Instead you have 20 provinces with 15 000 Economy each. It is too hard to acquire population Wars between two superpowers or atleast powers of equal strenght requires enlisting large portions of population, leaving all of your border provinces empty. Let's say that two empires of 500 000 men fought a war. They enlisted a total of 50 000 men each, and now both of them have 450 000 pop. Now these men will probably never be regained, because the growth is so incredibly slow, that the exploited provinces will be forever wastelands. Here's what I suggest you should do: There should be a way to invest in Immigration. Immigrants will quickly fill your empty provinces, but not with native population. As a result, the province Stability will decrease, but there is a fix to that already in the game. Immigration max investment per turn should not be based on the current state of population, but on the province's Economy.
