However, when I loaded it up, I found I'd lost all my colonies - they'd become independent. I ran the converter on it, and it formed a valid mod for V2. However, I did eventually find a utility called Ironmelt, which converts decrypts EUIV (and CKII) games. I couldn't find any way to get the game itself to convert it to a regular game. It was an ironman game, so it was encrypted. I managed to convert my Holland game to Victoria 2, but man that was a lot of work.
