Omni-directional Rivers

描述
Omni-directional Rivers

This mod completely removes the difference in proximity reduction from the direction of the river. They are both now set to 30.


The logic behind this:
It doesn't make sense that the direction of the river has any effect on the proximity because for communication between the location and the capital, messengers will need to travel in both directions. I have chosen to keep the number at 30 because larger waterways were used like railways are now, so much trade flowed through them and there were really important, so I feel it makes sense for them to be kept comparable to the modern roads and not simple paved roads. Ideally I'd also add something to upgrade the rivers to proper canals and lower basic rivers to 20 or 25 but right now as this is my first EU5 mod this will do.

This means capitals should be placed at the sources of rivers which just isn't historically supported with many being at the end of a river, so this change should also benefit a lot of the ai nations who don't change their historic capitals.

There are other mods that do similar things but none of them set both up and down stream to 30, either picking a lower shared number or bringing the two numbers closer.

Incompatabilities:
This mod shouldn't have any unless they also change the proximity from rivers.

Uh, it does make sense as these rivers flow in a single direction. It's easier to travel downstream than upstream. Historically, upstream requires much more manpower and time, such as rowing, even in tandem with wind, and navigating banks where the current is weak, and waiting for favourable winds and currents.

Also sometimes boats were towed upstream with pack animals pulling from along the banks. Most interesting is something like the Bosphorus straight, where they had actually discovered the understeam counter-current heading upwards into the black sea, despite the surface current heading out. As a result they invented a special anchor, the 'weighed baskets' that would sink to the low counter current stream, create drag, and pull the ships/boats upstream.

In short, it is realistic that going upstream is much more difficult for these eras, thus gives 1/3 the control of going down in the game. Personally, I would find less immersion in using this mod.

@Calliyop thanks but I stole the idea from Jackkade who might have heard it from somewhere else...

@brotistlecker007 maybe but idc I wanted to make a simple test mod and so here it is

@Dohaerās! because it doesn't make sense for a river to be as strong as the basic roads, and cba to rebalance all the roads. If you don't like it make your own mod...

Harbivore!! My hero!! So freaking clever to share this idea and make it a mod! I'll see what it does with my Norwegian campaign, you explain so well how absurd it is to put a capital on a river's source... genius! Thank you Harbi'! 😊

Why do you make buffs? why didnt you average upstream and downstream to achieve same average control. Game already has problems with infinite money

@Chocolayte I think Vanilla does this in a Patch..!?

Does this mod enable proximity on lake?

@God Gamer so again the proximity boost should be the exact same number for going up or down river.
It should make sense however for the market access to be better downstream from what replanttrees said, but even then the market boats would have to then go back upstream to collect more goods. Surely people weren't making new boats and then sending them on one way trips down the rivers to be dismantled at their destination.

so would there be a way to have one direction act as a proximity boost and the other as a market access boost? that seems to be the most realistic depiction
