This is what each are for and how you can add/edit them. Within the file, you will see various different clauses. Copy the ByzantineEmpire.txt country file from common/countries and rename it Rome.txt. Since we are making Rome, we will want to copy the contents of the ByzantineEmpire.txt country file to save time. This file is found in common/countries, which we will now create. This tells the game that this tag, X01 is assigned to the country file of Rome.txt. You should end up with this: X01 = "countries/Rome.txt" Now we have a unique country definitions file, we can remove all the old definitions. Rename the 00_countries.txt to mymod_countries.txt Since we are only adding a country, we should create a uniquely named 00_countries.txt so we don’t conflict with the base game. Inside this file, you will see the definitions of each country. So, copy the 00_countries.txt from country_tags into your mod. Navigate to C:\Users\Name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\my_new_country, and create these folders:įirst, you want to think up a name for your country.

Once we have created the my_new_country folder, we need to create a my_new_country.mod. I will be calling this mod my_new_country, but you can call the folder whatever you want. To do this, go to C:\Users\Name\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\ and create a folder. Step 1 – Mod Setupįirst, you need to create a mod.

I recommend that you use Notepad++ for coding, although most text editors will work. This tutorial will teach you how to add a new country to EU4 in a step by step manner.
