DESCRIPTION
Have you ever wanted to follow the turbulent history of Iran, create the Defenders of The Crescent alliance to stand against the Great Powers, or even divert back to the ancient ways of Persia to revive a third glorious Persian empire? If you answered yes to any of these then boy do I have the mod for you!
This behemoth of a flavor mod lets you choose one of these three paths upon game start with tons of new content between the three of them: [b]over 100 events, 100 journal entries, 100 modifiers, and 40 decisions[/b]. Plenty of alt history and historically accurate paths with choices to diverge and/or lean towards the particular flavor you want at any point. A “Historical Route” tag helps you follow Iran’s history for those wanting to railroad themselves or just learn some history.

[h1] Ultimate Flavor Future Content[/h1]
This is the first of my Ultimate Flavor series of mods. Don’t expect my other ones to be as big as this cuz it was WAY too much work, but still expect tons of new content. I'm going to be working on other countries in the region as stand alone mods until I have one for every country in the Middle-East and then I'll put them into one big flavor mod. Then it'll be onto the next region of the world with likely places being South Asia, China, South America, or North Africa.
[h1] Mod Help[/h1
I want a flavor mod for every country/region. To do that, I need help. The biggest thing I need are modders. Anyone else who would like to make suggestions for content, do research, or anything else would also be appreciated. Join my discord below if you’re interested.
[h1] Mod Compatibility[/h1]
Highly doubtful this will work with any overhaul mods as I change a lot of history files. Anything that changes starting building setup, starting pops, state traits and locations, characters for Persia, Middle-Eastern countries, and starting states will cause issues with my mod.
[h1] Questions/Bugs[/h1]
If you have any questions or find any bugs then please let me know in the comments or my Discord and I'll address them ASAP.
