The base game state categories and their corresponding number of building slots

See building types for different building types in the base game. Provincal buildings are added by adding the specific province you want to add the building in as a scope. Buildings are found in /Hearts of Iron IV/common/buildings/*.txt.

buildings scope is nested within the history scope, and defines which state buildings are set in the state during history setup.

IMPORTANT: If you enter a province ID that does not exist, the game may crash while 'creating checksum' without generating a relevant error to the error log. Multiple victory points require multiple scopes.

victory_points scope is nested within the history scope and defines the victory point for a state.

add_claim_by grants a claim on the state to the specified tag.

add_core_of sets the state as a core of the specified tag.

controller sets the controller of the state.

Note that this is not an effect, unlike add_core_of. Typically this is used to add ownership with owner = and add_core_of =.

history scope defines the effects to execute when the state is loaded during history setup.

Resources are found in /Hearts of Iron IV/common/resources/*.txt.

resources scope defines the resources found in the state and the amount of said resources.

provinces scope defines which provinces belong to the state.

impassable if the state is impassable or not.

buildings_max_level_factor defines how many extra building slots should be added to the state in addition to the state category base amount.

These categories are found in /Hearts of Iron IV/common/state_category/*.txt.

state_category defines the state category used by the state.

Typically values are as low as 10,000 in wasteland type states, and as high as 2,000,000 in highly populated states.

manpower defines the manpower provided to the owner of the state.

'Paris'), but it is best practice to use localized strings.

name defines the localization key the state uses.

The state IDs must be added sequentially, skipping numbers will cause crashes.

id defines the numerical id used by the state.

States (and their history) are defined in /Hearts of Iron IV/history/states/*.txt.Įach state is typically stored in its own file, although you can store multiple state definitions within the same file, as the ID is defined within the state definition, rather than the file title (as in Europa Universalis 4). If you spot a mistake then you are welcome to fix it.
