I actually finished playing CK2 a couple weeks ago, and... I kinda got a bit ahead of myself, so most of the conversion is already done. I was going to just use the converter, but that ended up being a shitshow, so I ended up converting most of it by hand.

Yeah, the converter is rubbish and good for nothing more than creating country files, and even there with caveats. I take it you've used the Clausewitz Scenario Editor to keep yourself sane? Also, which year are you concluding the CK2 part of the game?

It would be neat to help our bro in the Mideast too.
I mean, it would be amusing to just take the part in the middle to reach all the way to the east but still. Though seeing as the High Native Americans are apparently kicking about, it will be curious to see if folks manage even that~

Man, if only we'd gone for Islamic Ireland/Iceland. Just completely block off European colonization.

Andalusia is Europe, though.

The main practical reasons to do colonization in a LP are two. First, it gets the player-nation involved with more of the world, which adds variety and makes what would be background events in other continents relevant to the playthrough; and second, allowing for expansion/conquests that can be naturally broken off as colonies rebel or gain autonomy, which can help reduce the blobbing between EU4 and V3 while still maintaining a cultural connection and a stake in those places, providing ample opportunities to engage them even after the family went its own way. Similar to our relationship with Sicily and Jerusalem, but spread around the world.

I have given this way more thought than I should.

...What?

Egypt is held by Christians. Anatolia is almost completely held by Christians. Tatar Muslims hold far less of Russia/Ukraine.

A few embarrassing sacks of Rome are what they are, but Christianity fared very well here. The loss of Sicily and half of Spain is more than made up for by Egypt(!!!!!!!!!!!!). Egypt is key.

I agree, but Egypt isn't worth that much in EU4, it lost power in a manner similar to the Levant and is surrounded by a lot of hostile powers, so it will either win big at the start or be crushed by an alliance early on. I'd say Anatolia is a much bigger loss for the Muslim world, and the greater level of schism all over will probably lead to either a violent consolidation or persistent fragmentation in the Middle East itself, Iran and Nicaea seems to be the states best positioned to take advantage of the situation. Mostly Islam won in the western Mediterranean and lost in the east.

@attn Hashin: If you're gearing up to do V2, the Clausewitz map editor works with it (I think you may need to use an older version though), you only set factories, forts, cores and ownership through it. There's a POP editor tool you can use to change demographics by a percentage, targetting it through several parameters (like pop type, culture, cores present, etc) to tune them to whatever you like, which is exceptionally handy when it comes down to doing total conversions and will save you a lot of hours and energy. I really can't recommend POPAdjuster enough.

As for OOB files, I don't think there's an easy way to do it, they are easily what annoyed me the most the last two times I converted a scenario for Vicky 2. Just make some regiment and navy templates and assign them. If you look at the files I used in the Gold Rules the World scenario, it's quite transparent. Feel free to hit me up on Steam if you want help with the conversion, same username.
