This version of the modification follows 0.96.6 release, and does not include Caucasus or South America map updates that followed. TGC Compact is for those players with lower end PCs, or those that simply dislike new (and planned) map expansions and a different focus of the mod.
As the main mod now strives for a bigger map, more provinces and details on it, TGC Compact will remain on the 0.96 Map. It will not produce content of its own nor follow updates from the main mod. It will finish British America rework and Baseline Prestige Mechanics that were begun before the community voted to focus on map development. When necessary, and if major bugs appear, we will strive to fix them when that is possible.
For Main Mod, check out v1.0.0 and later versions on Files!
Changelog:
- No Argentina or Caucasus updates. Compact uses and will use 0.96 Map version onwards. For Main Mod, check v.1.0.0 releases and later!
- British America content should now be playable. Report bugs if encountered. Dominions possible: British Dominion of New England, British Dominion of Virginia, British Dominion of Georgia, British Dominion of Louisiana, Expanded Dominion of Canada
- Rebellion and revolt mechanics in British America
- A potential of a second American War of Independence
- Introducing Experimental Baseline Prestige Mechanic. Now, independent civilized countries with a population of at least 250,000 will have a baseline prestige of 1000. This will fix vassals suddenly going free if they get to top 8 rankings. However, it still allows them to slowly accumulate prestige and maybe one day break it by making the rankings. This feature is experimental, please report any major bugs you encounter.
- Prestige gain and loss from war significantly reduced to account for the new Baseline mechanic
- Enforcing humiliate CB will now approximately reduce prestige of the defeated party by 10% (instead of about 30%)
- Some casus bellis prestige effects have been lowered
- Prestige loss from not enforcing added war goals significantly reduced
- Prestige gain via technology reduced back to 5% per technology level
- Introduced Concert of Europe Great Power Status
- Traditional 5 GPs: Britain, France, Russia, Austria, Prussia have had their starting prestige significantly increased to represent the historical 5 Great Powers (unlike the games 8 slots)
- The optional Minor Greater Power Mechanic now includes ranks 6 (aside from 7 and 8) until 1860, the italian unification
- Adjusted submods that change defines (for example Less RNG submod) to correspond to new prestige changes
- Added a mechanic where a civilized vassal nation with at least 3 million (12m total) population and 400 industrial score (or 6m pops, 24m total) can start an independence war against their overlord. This will prevent countries being permanently turned to a vassal status and will bring overlord countries more challenge to retain their dominancy.

- Government Campaigns and Direct Migration now take money from your treasury daily, rather than monthly

- Mississippi and Volga river bugs that have been around for ages have been fixed, they are now whole and swole
- Neutral states such as Switzerland and Belgium will no longer become Great Powers, as they are excluded from Baseline Prestige (they can if they abandon neutrality!)
