What problem does it solve?
This guide helps modders and reviewers correctly create, edit, or audit Victoria 3 party definitions in common/parties, ensuring they align with ideology, laws, technology, and localization while avoiding unintended behavior.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Provides a structured workflow to inspect vanilla party families, decide whether to add a new archetype or override a vanilla one, and ensure proper downstream references.
- Includes guidance on the essential components: color, name dynamic blocks, valid_for_country, available_for_interest_group, and join_weight, with validation tips for localization and icon paths.
- Walks through a typical creation-or-modification process from local files to vanilla references and localization checks.
