Description
More Dutch Enterprises!:
This is a QoL mod if you want and like to play as the Dutch, yet crave more Trade Enterprises to keep the spice trade flowing!

Statenvlag/Republic Version

DOES NOT BREAK DUTCH MISSION TREE



How to form?:
When playing as a Dutch Tag and having the ''Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie" Estate privilege enabled.

* Have at least 4 provinces in the South African Region: to be able to form the (Caab) VOC C TC chapter
* Have at least 4 provinces in the Guinea Region: To be able to form the WIC TC chapter
* Have at least 4 provinces in the East Indies Super-Region: To be able to form the VOC TC chapter
* Have at least 4 provinces in the India Super-Region: To be able to form the VIC TC chapter

VOC C (Caab) and the VOC in the East Indies have a different tag.

Whenever you have a province in that region, it can be added by the expand decision, it should pop-up.

Other Flag Variant:
Link to the Orange (Prinsenvlag) version of the mod is here:

Statenvlag for as the new Dutch Flag:
Link to a standalone flag alternative for NED (Netherands) tag (Statenvlag/republic) is here:
https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3287927625



What does this mod do?:
This mod adds 3 tags and changes the VOC tag is still in the Indies but is named the VIC. The VOC is now a formable in the East Indies and has it's own tag. There is also a new tag for cape town and a tag for the Ivory/Gold Coast in West Africa.

This mod doesn't do:
* It does NOT break the Dutch Mission tree in vanilla, it should be fully compatible.

Note:
* This mod does not add a trade company for the Caribbean/New York/Formosa/Japan, although I'm looking into it and making another additional module probably for it. -> However trade companies in colonial regions make the colonies not functional. They can't be in the same region. And relax on Indonesia, please.



Critique and feedback is always welcome.

Thanks, @Semelob!

And thanks for the feedback!

If it's standardized Dutch, then yeah I agree. "Caab" was used till 1652-1746, according to literature, woodwork, stonework and antiques, which comes from Cabo. Towards standardization it used the term you described. Which began around the later half of the 17th century.

But the biggest reason why I did it was the C on the flag (historical), it really shouldn't be a chapter on its own but I didn't want to tie it to the VOC chapter in the East Indies for Game mechanic reasons, thus opting for the old name which makes it more distinguishable with both a "C" in the name and flag for international players..

But for other tags, I couldn't opt for the older names like: "Generale Vereenichde geoctrooieerde Compagnie." - Since it'll be too long. Gelukkig een klein verschil in kaap en caab, wat het het ontwerp van de vlag intact laat. :)

Love what you've done with this mod! Just a small note: 'Kaap de Goede Hoop' should be 'Kaap,' not 'Caab.' Thanks for your hard work!

Trade Companies in vanilla:
The "Wealth of Nations" DLC is essential for the functionality of trade companies. This expansion introduces the ability to create trade companies, which are organizations that control trade in specific regions outside of Europe, increasing trade power and providing other benefits.

Forming the VOC (Dutch East India Company) in vanilla:
Forming the VOC is part of the "Dharma" DLC, which focuses on the Indian subcontinent and includes various features related to trade companies and colonialism. With this expansion, Dutch nations can form the VOC, gaining special bonuses and missions.

To fully utilize trade companies and form the VOC, ensure you have both the "Wealth of Nations" and "Dharma" DLCs for Europa Universalis IV.
