Forming Hispania as Portugal : Throne of Lorraine - Victoria II 

The beta for this mod has been released. Go check out the Mod DB here: www.moddb.com/mods/throne-of-lorraine (also sorry for misspelling the mod name in the thumbnail I added it last minute)

The knights of St. John existed until 1798 in our timeline. The only thing left they owned was Malta, and Napoleon conquered them in two days on his way to Egypt.

As the lead Developer, thank you so very much for the support by making this.I'll watch this and make another comment. I'll also put this in our announcements channel so mor epeople watch this

The Mormons conquering Jerusalem is one of my favorite historical events

Love this channel, not relying too much on memes, still being quite entertaining, and being a fair showcase of mods.

These are always interesting since many people have never done this

So my thoughts and Developer comments on this Video 7:25 I know you hate that, I literally looked at every coastal state after your DoD Video to check that I don't do this, forgot the dutch tho... 12:24 their culture should be Ngabe now and the name changed 15:11 Yup, has been fixed since then 16:02 thats completely on purpose, it may just be my personal preference but I like it more that way 16:22 I suggest that you won't google Haralds Triumph or KOS 16:53 I just used the name because of an Idea I had, but never implemented it so the name stuck 22:30 is a bug, has been fixed 23:56 also a bug, has also been fixed (a typo made it so a random province converted and not every province (with certain conditions) 25:20 _They can even reform the Roman Empire_ 25:46 the Lore is that Venice protectd them to spite the Turks 26:26 DO IT 28:42 There is a decision to disable that 35:22 FIXED 37:10 Yup, thats fixed too 41:10 These are acually for clean up, you might have seen units of dead nations still being in their former land.An Event gives thse Nations these Island, makes them delete these units and then return the Islands to what they were before 45:57 Tbh didn't know that was possible either, but we got a venetian developer, that might be the reason... 46:30 I'm not a Byzantineboo, but most of the PDX community is, what I did was just... good buisness 48:18 reasn n°2 I added Athens, its an actual challenge to play, this is a suggestion for you to play them, they probably have the most flavour 51:03 tbh, this is probably fixed too And thats it tbh, glad you had fun next time you play maybe WARN US so we can check that there aren't glarring bugs I kind of find it funny that 90% of all bugs you mentioned were either fixed or from GFM (the other 10% are already written down in our developer discord channel and will be fixed soon)

During the 1800s the Ottomans tried to implement an ideology called "Ottomanism" which was meant to be a pluralistic and egalitarian way to stabilize the many often-opposed cultures and religions in the empire by granting them all equal rights and uniting all the groups within the Empire, so I think it could be a reference to that, sort of like how the Soviets tried to create a "proletarian" culture

Byzantium is too much for victoria, but greek asia minor is ok since it was a real thing.

I love the hatred of obvious byzantophilia. By 1836, I don't think there was any hope of restoring Rome in any way.

Oh this is sadly a quite old verison most of the bugs should be fixed now I am also on the Iberia rework so I guess its bad timing...

Okay, I love how you hate dumb formables like Byzantium, Caliphate and stuff BUT romans in West Africa was a real possibility in real history. Romans actually had 5 known expeditions into subsaharan Africa. So they can establish new trade routes and maybe conquer here and there(they actually tried to conquer Nile river upstream) but many of this expeditions did not made any big impact like conquest. It was just trade and maybe establishing some roman outposts. Keep in mind roman coins were found as south as Nigeria(that does not mean romans were present in Nigeria it just means there might be a trans saharan trade during Roman Empire). This is an alt-his mod so imho it's not out of touch to add a roman state.

can't wait for more of your videos, theyre great

I’ve been waiting for this mod, very cool

Hey smooved, i really like when you explain what are you doing and why, it made me alot better, nice video

The saint johns/knights switching thing is hilarious

Byzantium aka the reddit empire

You’re right about province sizes and life rating, they basically use it to make the game way more Eurocentric. Same with institutions and tech groups in EU4, or westernization in Vic2

laughed so hard 19 minutes in oml cheers to the mod creator this shit funny as fuck

I have discovered your channel today, and I must admit that your videos are quite entertaining! There is no insufferable background music ISP tends to add and your humor is subtle and natural. I hope that you will blow up as a channel soon and my subscription will help it happen :b

the reason u could keep doing the diplomacy is because debug alwaysdiplo was on, thats y u were stuck at 7 dip points

That liferating stuff is hysterical

Now I want to see you for Byzantium

I like your stuff, please make more! ^^

The roman empire exile in Africa is actually historical to a point as there were expeditions sent to lake chad by the Romans

Felipe II: Good my GOD!

The quality creator is finally back!

I know it's an old video but I love your vic 2 content man

Finally another smooved video

My life is beyond fucked

Everyone knows that in Vic if you want a GP's core, you better completely decapitate that GP or they become a constant pain in the backside.

:D

A fun but memey nation you should try in TOL is Poland, because you can core all of Hungary, Belarus, and Ukraine AND you get them as accepted pops. It's OP to put it lightly, you end up with more pops than Russia and you can field gigantic armies.

por fin otro video epico

Finally, someone who hates formable Byzantium as much as I do. I felt before now like I was in the twilight zone - the last sane man on Earth, but now I see I am not alone!

finally, he posts!

You are alive!!!!

If we get 100000 likes would you restore the roman empire irl?

Was just wondering if you are gonna upload

how to make an alt hist mod for victoria 2 find a map of europe in the late medieval period copy paste then slightly consolidate some of the areas remove all the colonies in india make the new world a bunch of independent states with along a few large chunks of territory (brazil, the andes, mexico, canada, confederates) with random european cutlures. don't do anything to japan or china and have them be exactly the same as historical

What mod lets you see the general stats at a glance? I've seen it on a few of your videos.

Hey man, your videos are great. Can you make a guide on Victoria 2 considering the guides on the internet are either outdated or just bad?

16:00 Olivença. Portugal is still waiting for Spain to give that province back

(S)PAIN

thanks

Congrats on 5k man! Been here since about 2k. Keep up the great work!

i love you victoria man

It's great

you're doing god's work destroying those byzantine tags

So next run as Athens confirmed ?

You should try playing TGC I've been digging it pretty recently

Here's an interesting idea, mod the game files so there's always 0 NF available. That's hardcore V2 for you.

do a byz game, no balls. love ya bud. keep it up, great content

Having a 140 life rating province is silly, but mechanically it isn't really very overpowered. Life rating only affects 3 things, when you can colonize a province, the preference of the province for migration, and population growth. The reason why having a 140 life rating province doesn't matter as much as it might seem is because population growth is only affected from 30-40 life rating. 30 and below get no life rating bonus pop growth and it scales until 40 to get the maximum bonus pop growth. Mechanically for pop growth 140 life rating is the same thing as 40 life rating. The only thing it affects by being so high is the likelihood of migration to the province, and even that doesn't have as much of an impact as one might think since pops decide which country they want to move to BEFORE deciding which province they will move to, so the life rating only affects people who are already migrating inside of the country to begin with. This actually makes sense (to a certain extent) for Venice since where are displaced people within the Merchant Republic going to go except the great namesake city of the country. It does become a real problem though when another country conquers the city since now everyone in that conquering country, or immigrating to that conquering country, will decide that they prefer some random conquered city to the rest of the country. You don't have to worry too much about a high life rating province becoming a infinite population trap though since the decision on whether to emigrate from a province isn't effected by life rating of the province the pop is in, so a pop is just as likely to pack up and leave a life rating 140 province as a life rating 5 province. Interestingly having high life rating provinces of your primary culture is actually an indirect buff to assimilation since discontented non-primary pops will migrate there, where a lack of foreign core and large target primary culture will make them more likely to assimilate, and then because life rating doesn't affect emigration pops will leave from overcrowding leading to seeding of primary culture pops across the empire.

I just dont get why to revorm the Byzantines as a one provinc minor. Like either they still exist or they dont. Like in Heirs of Aqitain. There the Byzanzines never really collapsed and are still a major Player

for whatever reason restoring the roman empire is like every alternate history mod developers wet dream and its just cringe

bing chilling

well, the fact that olivenza exists its because originally it was a portuguese territory, but in napoleonic wars spain got it from portugal, but after napoleon was gone, they didn't give it back formally, so its just a spanish territory since them even through they should have given it back in the vienna congress or something

Engagement to get ur money up sir

yeah i agree, alot of provinces outside of europe are way too oversized, i guess its too show that europe has a higher density of factories, but its just annoying and looks weird

i'd love to see you play the cold war mod

Please do a video in Vanilla or HPM game, with no mods

i also dont like Romaboos but the idea of Lacus Terra is just funny to me

hate to ask how do you donlond a mod of this game

Smooved, my looooong thoughts on this Video are done now, if you want delete this message later I am glad you had fun and I hope you'll play it again soon, but please... next time warn us and we can tell you if there are currently bugs that need quick fixing before you start a campaigne, its what a WIP mod does after all and check out my thought son the Video in the comment (perhaps pin it too *wink*)

i can stand the vanilla border gore its not too bad if you absolutely cant stand it you can cheat with changeowner command its very much the same as installing a mod

where are my passwords for my 10,000 accounts? we will do a little trolling

I think the modders made ottoman culture thinking to the failed historical attempt to create this culture.

Do an episode on mexico and make a colonial empire. My other reccomondations are Canada, Australia, and Japan

Post more💯

2:21 no, not 200 years but like, 400 years

do the roman exiles

Dude, fuck easy sleep for me for like three nights

You got 36k does that mean you'll play both the Romes lol

dude make more videos

Play with Spain pleasee!!

26:18 You got more than 10k likes so where’s Athens video

The name Spain was meant to encompass Castile, Aragon, and Portugal. Spain = Hispania

Play hansa omg

:)

Ottoman is different to turkish just fyi

You said 10k likes to play Athens but I think you should do it anyway for 2.3k likes :P embrace the cringe, only then can you be free! 😄

No se si leerás esto ya que eres inglés pero podrías hacer un speedrun de formar Rumanía con todos sus cores pls

are you aware that the saying is not "you gotta be serious". you are mixing the saying "you cannot be serious" and "you gotta be joking" lol. never stop

Metatron. A Romaboo channel made a video about the Roman vs The "Mongols". Fairly interesting idea so I decided to watch it. He constantly overplayed roman victories and thought that rome would have stopped the Mongol empire. He was that delusional. Yhis idea that rome was more advanced in the 3 century bc than empires in the 13 century ad is hysterical and shows the poor understanding of history these guys have. They view history as a game show woth protagonists and antagonist with side characters and heros and villains. I never wanna watch that type of content again.

Disliked for not wanting to form the roman empire in a 19th to 20th centruy economics simulation game for i am romanian
