Extra Monumental Release

Five months since last major release, and we've been at work mirroring CK3toEU4 patches, as well as handling a separate massive update of supported monuments, IMPtoCK2 saved games as well as whatever else we could find and fix. Crashes in CK2toEU4 are much less frequent than with its sibling CK3 as the saves are much cleaner, so we're confident no major issues should arise any time soon.

In addition an imperial ton (metric not invented yet) of fixes and patches has been applied.

Conversion Features and Changes

Culture differentiation

• Better generation of Italians, Slovaks, Slovenes, Greeks, Bretons.

Ages, Ideas and Institutions

• Targeted government reforms now work again.

Map fixes

Development

• Development from baronies (0.3) and individual buildings (0.1) can now be manually tweaked in dev_weights.txt so that users can adjust total world development to their liking.

Optional Vassal splitoff

• Splitting off major/influential vassals into autonomous countries can now be disabled in configuration, though we recommend leaving it enabled.

The Snowflakes

Pope and Fapope

• Popes now directly assimilate all land they own, bet it France, Jerusalem or Romagna.
• Assimilated countries under pope do not leave cores behind, but national/cultural cores are still generated as usual.
• Popes have a priority as electors if in HRE.
• All Papal/catholic decisions/mechanics now have Fapope/Fraticelli counterparts with slightly different effects. Fapope will be better at preventing reformation.
• Papal names and localizations have special overrides and mechanics.

HREmperor / HRE

• HREmperor's capital is the single most important province in the world and will always belong to him.
• After deleting e_hre and probably HREmperor's kingdom, his primary duchy will be set to the one containing his capital.
• If he holds no duchy over his capital, his capital county becomes primary and will be able to PU/annex other owned counties/duchies.
• Baronies no longer qualify for becoming the HREmperor.
• All Dejure HRE land held by others will now be marked as such in EU4.
• Electorates are no longer giver to junior PU members; when distributing PUs, the tag flagged as emperor/elector will automatically become senior.
• Free city generation is now fixed to exclude juniors in PUs, electors and similar.

Fronter

• Instead of relying on all mods present on the system, the Fronter has now been expanded with mod detection so the user can pick those mods that were actually used in the game.
• Fronter now also allows users to use spaces in custom output mod name, which previously didn't work.
• Instead of relying on common-sense directory paths, Fronter will now prevent usage of paths that "don't exist" (notably when OneDrive symlink folders get in the way). Previously this produced a hotbed of confusion for users.

Aside for these, many minor under-the-hood fixes and patches were implemented, as always.

The windows_development_build supersedes this release and is built whenever a feature is added, dynamically. You can get it here.
