This has continued to the modern day, with most converters now done by a coordinated team.Īn early version of EU3 to Vic2 inspired a humorous review, leading to the idea of Secret Denmark. As sequels were released to the different games, different fans created converters to match. When Victoria was given the expansion Revolutions, it contined an exporter to HoI2, allowing an automated campaign across the four major works in Paradox’s portfolio.
Portions of is can be read on King of Men’s webpage or on the Paradox forums.
When the multiplayer group began their campaign, they also wrote After Action Reports (AARs) for it, creating the first megacampaign AAR. Around the same time, Chaingun created an EU4 to Vic converter, which later saw signficant improvements from montyP. Rolf Andreassen (King of Men) was unsatisfied with the quality and wrote a fan-made converter. This inspired a multiplayer group to try a campaign from CK to EU2. When Crusader Kings was released, it included an exporter to Europa Universalis 2. I gave a talk at PDXCon 2021 about this, if you’d like the history in that form.
