Alt-history Alaska minimod for HPM for Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness

This mod is an alt-history addon to HPM mod attempting to turn Alaska and the north pacific region into a more signifficant and economically vital area. What if the natural resource wealth of Alaska could be exploited a century earler?

You can play as any of the concerned powers - Russia, US, UK/Canada or Japan, or Alaska itself, align yourself with one or the other and try to become a great power.

About the gameplay:

If you're playing Alaska the first 30 years or so you wont have much to except grow your population. An important system in them mod is developing the land through decisions, which reqires a lot of money. You will not be able to get the whole sum yourself, and will therefore have to ask for investment from great powers.

Certain provinces can get important goods in time, which will be highlighted in the decision.

Currently AI Alaska should prioritize allying the player first, and it should ally the UK if you are playing Canada. There is also a decision for the UK to ease switching to Canada.

If Alaska is AI, it can be annexed by whoever is its overlord in the mid 1900s.

To avoid messing with the history files, building ports and railroads is also done though decisions.

Certain files had to be overwritten, so if you want to use this mod with other minimods, check if they share any overwrites (last 3 files in the image)

If they do, past the contents of the first 3 files marked with !! into the corresponding file in the minimod. I also recommend you do this if you're using this mod with a version of HPM different from the one this mod was made for, as new countries or cultures might have been added.
