Un-Ironmanning a save in CK2 v.2.3.6 Johan 09/14/15 (Mon) 22:37:06 No.4581

So I have a pretty cool Ironman save pre-Horse Lords that I want to mod a bit (ok…a lot) and see if I can't get a half-decent converted EU4 game. But of course Paradicks, in their infinite wisdom, STILL hasn't implemented any apparent method of removing ironman from a save. I mean really, do Steam achievements matter THAT much? I know it's a lot to expect any sort of good sense from Paradicks, but come on.

Has anyone found a concrete method of un-ironmanning a CK2 save? I guess if all else fails I'll just mod the exported game itself but having the console in CK2 would be so much easier.

Locate your ironman save on your computer. If it's on the cloud, there is a copy there : ..\Steam\userdata\your account\236850\remote\save games

2. Copy it on the "local" save game directory and edit the copy with a software (notepad++ may be very usefull)

3. On the first line you will found the three letters of the tag of your nation (BYZ for exemple)

4. Replace it with another : (FRA because the BBB is always around hehe)

5. Load the savegame. You will play like france (strange ?)

6. Save it, change again the nation on the new save

7. TADAM ! It's no more ironman but a regular save

Are you sure you're not thinking of EU4? CK2 doesn't use nation tags like that, and I haven't been able to find anything of the sort in my ironman saves with notepad++.

there you go.

>Known Issues

The art of decoding is sometimes a bit of hit-and-miss scenario and sometimes the savegame can be decoded in 99.9% but not more - it will be read by the game but you might lose some piece of information which may be consequential to the game or not at all. The decoder will report you about such missing pieces of information and currently there are tokens (pieces of binary files) that are not being decoded:
