It seems that there is a lack of judaic religion(well im not sure but if it exists it should be official religion to judea)I can do one for you.Also since there are no missions i can make some generic and special ones for the greeks

I think Judea didn't have the Judaic religion yet in 650BC. It should be a decision for the Babylonians (or Assyrians?) That can convert that province. The religion already exists btw (check common/religion.txt).

I thought of a task for myself: create a Korean and Japanese nation.

Judaic religion was much older and every jewish state had that as religion
Although you can just make them owned by assyria and not being a vassal of them

You're right. It seems I had a wrong idea in my head.

ok I gave Judea judaism. I also created Gojoseon (Korea) and Japan.

didn't the Korean kingdom Silla appear during this period as well?

According to wikipedia they appeared in 57BC so I'd guess not.

I didnt say that they should start in the game, maybe a revolt faction?

Oh that could work nicely indeed.

I feel like doing some map editing. If no-one objects, I'll start with the Ionian coast tonight, and then move on to Magna Graeca.

I could use some suggestions for how exactly to edit China, Japan & Egypt though.

China should have more provinces in the central region, to allow for more of the smaller nations there.

Japan should have about 10 provinces in total. 1-2 in Kyushu, 1 in Shikoku, 6-8 in Honshu, 1 in Hokkaido.

In Egypt the biggest problem is that the Nile is a border for provinces, while it obviously was where most of the cities were located. So the provinces should be centered on the Nile. There should be many small provinces along the Nile, and a few large provinces along the red sea coast and to the west. Maybe just one province on the Red Sea coast south of the Sinai Peninsula, as these provinces will be practically useless except for the valuable access to the Red Sea.

How about I do some more religion stuff? I'll start with adding the Chinese, Indian and Etruscan religions.

Yeah you do that. I'll continue my usual work.

Shall be interesting to see those Chinese religions

I finished the Chinese and Indian religions. They still have quite generic effects, of course.

I put all the govt forms in the game, and deleted all the old ones. Everyone's an aristocratic monarchy now (we have to edit that of course).

I also made Chinese flags, and copied the CoA masks from Rome to this mod. It looks all bannery now:

Here's a screenshot of China in which you can also see the new Rome-style CoA (oh I also changed Assyria's flag a little):


This is how the little shields (for cores) now look:


One strange thing is that when you zoom in on the flagpoles on the map, they have weird colors (are no longer white):

Anyone know what could be the cause?

Good progress!

The Chinese banners look a little bit plain.
Core shields look great.

btw. When I look at that map of China, I think that Linzi deserves its own (small) province. It's right on the border between Jinan and Shandong Bandao. Or a little bit south of that.

Hm, how do you suggest to improve them? In vanilla EU3 the Chinese factions are also simply characters on a colored background. I think these look pretty nice, if I may say so myself

Nitpicking, I know But I thought that they could use some more hue. Doesn't look natural.

What do you mean by more hue? Hue is where you are in the color spectrum; increasing it I will just end up somewhere else in the rainbow. Or do you mean saturation/brightness? For most of them I chose kind of "muted" colors but in the end I kinda ran out of options :p

What I meant was that they're a bit monotonous in color, by themselves.

Just checked the flags in-game, they're fine
Indian flags next? Will definitely be hard to find those, but that generic flag needs to be replaced.

Hey guys, sorry for my absence.

It's caused mostly by personal reasons and a decision to more or less abstain from computer use until March.
I'll start working on the mod again some time in March. Cya then.

Keep up the good work.

wololo.

Cya in March then man. To be honest I have mid term exams and stuff so I won't be on too much for Feb either =\ I'll try to at least make stuff once a week though at a minimum.
