Amour pour l'Espagne

“If only Spain’s enemies were foreigners… All those who, with the sword, the pen, or the word, worsen and perpetuate the nation's woes are Spaniards.”
- Amadeo I of Savoy, King of Spain

“Perhaps no other country, except Turkey, is as little known and as poorly judged by the rest of Europe as Spain.”
- Karl Marx

“Anyone who wishes to understand to what extent a great state can be weakened and ruined should study the history of Spain.”
- Thomas Macaulay, historian and British Secretary of War


Despite the potentially misleading title, yes, this mod is focused on bringing content to Spain (which really needs it). The name comes from the fact that the mod was originally going to focus on both France and Spain, but after the release of "Voice of the People", all those plans fell apart.

The goal of the mod is to enhance the 19th-century Spanish experience, trying to make it as painful as it was in real life. My objective is to keep improving it little by little until papa Paradox decides to release a proper Españita pack. As more details about the "Iberian Twilight" DLC are revealed towards the end of the year, I’ll decide the future direction of the mod.

• And much more...

• New initial political, economic, and diplomatic situation for Spain. Also starts with extra techs in the Society tree
  
• Spain controls some islands in Micronesia. There were already some outposts like Guam
  
• Spain starts with the Colonial Resettlement law active. To balance it out, it also starts with a temporary modifier to colonization speed
  
• Spain starts with claims in Western Sahara. Morocco loses its claim there, as it makes little historical sense — but retains its claim on Cape Juby
  
• Melilla and the Canary Islands are now incorporated states.
  
• The Philippines starts with a pro-Spain lobby.
  
• The Philippines starts with the laws of Traditionalism, Hereditary Bureaucrats, Charity Hospitals, and Land-Based Taxation to better reflect its reality
  
• Cuba starts with the laws of Agrarianism, Oligarchy, and Land-Based Taxation to better reflect its reality
  
• France starts with claims in Mauritania and Senegal (a small change that greatly improves Africa’s appearance by preventing the British from entering the Sahara)

This mod only fully overwrites the Southern Europe military formations file (00_military_formations_europe.txt).

Besides, it modifies the requirements to annex a puppet-colony, the requirements for joining the liberal, patriotic, and agrarian parties, along with basic content related to Spain; however, these are not necessary for the mod’s functionality, so they can be overwritten without any problem.

That gives near-total compatibility with most mods that don’t heavily alter game mechanics (for example, it’s incompatible with ‘Better Politics Mod [BPM]’ since that one significantly changes interest group behavior)
