This version adds a host of improvements including Balkan starting diplomacy, subject interactions, and the most noticeable Asian change: The possibility to restore any of the Korean Three Kingdoms. At the start date of the game the Joseon are young, the Goryeo legacy is being trampled, and this new tradition could easily be broken again. Reform the Silla, Baekje or Goryeo kingdoms, with their own unique cultures and ideas.

Brave New Worlds 1.13 changelog:
Nations:
(+) Korea has Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje sub-cultures/cores.
(+) Korea can reform or break into the new states, breathing much needed diplomacy into the region.
(+) Korean substates gain a permanent claim to the region via the decision to change, which is tied to their historical provinces.
(+) Goguryeo new ideas.
(+) New Silla and Baekje traditions and aspirations.
(+) Local Goryean, Sillan and Baekjan cultures have their own cultural bonuses and maluses.
v- Created Yamal nenets native country (should also fix Denmark colonizing Siberia)
ny- Create Tamna Jeju nation with core there but not yet existing (uncored by Koreans)
v* Mamluks are now identified as Turkic.
v* New Turkic culture for them in Tatar culture group.
+ Mamluk ideas buffed to compensate for culture malus.
+ Mamluk culture gives national access to banner units.
v* Forming Egypt drains more Stability, but converts into Arabic culture.
(NY)+ Arabic rebels for Turkic and Iranian conquerors, want national independence.
ny* Perenne Arab Egyptian cores in Egypt
* "Al-Misr Arabic" wants to form Egyptian state instead of Mamluks.
* Mamluks are the homeland of the Burji turkic culture.
* Egypt can now revert to Mamluk government via decision.
v* Buffed the power of mediocre Aztec national ideas.
v* Turkish start buffed yet again due to facing fiercer competition from Mamluks (Al-Turk):
v** National ideas bonuses semi-rearranged, given new Sublime Porte idea as the first to unlock, in order to buff diplomacy.
v** More starting points to monarch.
v** Starting heir given. (not working)
v** Improved some provinces development slightly.
v** Improved alliances (Serb vassal, Wallachian tributary. This is historical for the period).
v* Constantinople starts even more developed (kind of historical tanking into account both fortifications and population compared to European capitals at the time)
v** Semi-reverted as it turns out the city was half-abandoned by this time.
(ny)*** There will be a decision "rebuild Constantinople" for cash for the owner of the province that will give +3 +1 +1 development. Requires tech ADM 8, 25 ADM points, 500 gold (prerequisite and minus).
v* Serbs ideas improved. Now gain more liberty desire with advancement in ideas.
Big:
v(testing)- Nations don't come with a Missionary by default. But +0.01 default missionary power.
** There is a new always-available policy to gain one missionary (costs 1 adm per month).
v- Perenne Korean substates under the main one (much like Ming).
v* Rebalanced Liberty Desires from subject interactions, and available interactions to Tributaries.
ny(testing)** Tooltips have to be changed separately and haven't yet been updated. Some update and others don't. Artifact liberty desire auto-updated, but Siphon Income didn't. May also be due to the commented out lines? Enforced culture % is also not displayed correctly. Also may be due to other harcoded stuff (the -100 relationship from Siphon Income isn't coded in the triggered modifier)
FUTURE STUFF (if ever):
- Add a new parallel "last reform" to Tribal (Steppe Nomad style) states, with much bonuses, and allowing them to still be Tribal forever and ever.
- Plague depopulation disaster for new world natives (timed effect, requires contact).
Other:
- Panslavism "cultural union" decision for Slavic nations.
ny- New "Russian Empire" nation option with Romanov imperial flag colors.
- Burgundy color change to not look like new England/Great Britain.
- Hungary color change to be different from Russia.
- Change type of nobel rebels crown icon/flag (current one is a king crown instead of a noble one)
- Northern technology, level 2, but with stronger low-tech unit types than europeans (Ireland, Scotland, etc.)
- "High American Ascension" harder but less expensive by default.
- High American unit rebalance with more intermediate types (semi-nerf to the "plateau")
- Other, but harder/rarer ways to get High American (events, vision quest, religious reforms)
- Japanese pro-Mandate mechanics in case they want to become Emperor of China.
- Add Ainu ability to re-form Jomon while conquering Japan and/or getting high ADM tech.
