HPM Patch 0.3.1.2 news - Historical Project Mod for Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness

This patch will hopefully be the last one for a while and will fix and tweak what was left in version 0.3. The main addition was fixing the coast of south america, with most of the effort in Chile and Tierra del Fuego, which was notoriously wrong. Several of the islands were connected to each other and more important, the Strait of Magellan didn't really exist.

Another focus was on the Amazon River delta, which suffered a similar problem. Other islands were fixed, mainly in Greece, and I did a systematic work in the coast of south america to guarantee everything was right, meaning that, at least coastal-wise, I'm happy with South America and work on the coast there is mostly done. There's still the coast of other continents and a lot of wrong terrain there though. There's a few new events, decisions and some tweaks to existing ones. The future of St. Barthelemy now can be questioned by France and some of the Organize X colony now change religion too: Botswana will not be forever animist now, even after civilized. Ideally, I will make one of those "organize X colony" for each of the main religions (Catholic branches, Islam and maybe Judaism) but not right now. I still need to fix the event spam the USA before I think about that.

Anyway, I'm not really good at writing this stuff, so I better leave the changelog. I always find reading changelogs more interesting anyway.
