Welcome to the VIET Wiki[]
VIET is a modular mod for Crusader Kings II that focuses on adding flavor and roleplay options while still keeping things as close to vanilla as possible, in contrast with other large mods such as The Prince and the Thane or CKII+. VIET consists of four main modules: Core, Events, Traits, and Immersion. There are also the music and Defines mini-modules, as well as the Assets module (which is required for all versions).
Key features of VIET include:
- Modules, compatches, and customization options (including in-game customization!) allow for a level of customization rarely seen in other mods!
- Music modules! Over 100+ new songs to enhance your CKII audio experience! 100% compatible with ANY mod or combinations of mods - VIET is not required!
- Tons of new flavor events that provide variety!
- Tweaks to existing traits - traits actually matter now, and have a bigger effect on attributes, relationships, event choices, and more!
- New cultures and portrait sets, including melting pot cultures, and improvements to existing portrait sets, including more Orthodox beards and more Irish/Scottish redheads!
- Reduced blobbing and other balance tweaks!
- Several new Republics, including several Muslim "Republics" in the Indian Ocean!
- Culture/Religion specific mechanics! Byzantine dynasty shifting, West African Griots, and more!
- EUIV Converter that not only converts your game, but adds new National Ideas, features for religions, and an improved tech allocation system!
- And many more flavor and gameplay tweaks, changes and additions!
