[MOD] Lux Invicta

[Shaytana]

@Bloodmerchant

To be honest - I don't know... Enthusiasm and time permiting I might do something about it in the future. There's quite a few things I'd like to do if I ever get to it.

@samus400

As I mentioned at one point, I am actually thinking of making an optional mini-mod in the future with a Chinese invasion. Something to put the Mongols to shame and make them look like bunny-waaabits.


-------------------------
I will most likely leave West Africa unimplemented for now...unplayable territory. I simply don't have the time to get that area done before I leave. I also need to figure out what I will use from the new landed_titles file...if anything besides stuff related to the new provinces. There's quite a few things still to fathom about this patch...one thing is the way it will fox up my muslim titles...I had titular dynastic emirates etc in place, not sure yet how the patch handles its dynastic naming...and well there's a lot of stuff to do/think about...but given it's 1am I'm going to bed and posting this a screenshot before I go.

-Christianity has left the building...you can see the situation east of the Catholic corridor...no Holy Roman Empire in sight...
-You can see the Jomsviking stronghold... and yes Prussians worship Peckols...hehehe... now this will be a proper Prussia.
-for the eagleyed this screenshot also shows something about Denmark...a kingdom coa in the Catholic area...hmmm?

I think that there are some people reluctant to help

Crazy map! Looks really good though. I see that the Slavs are very widespread in this area, and I imagine that the Allfathers worship Odin. I'm interested in knowing what your definition of Rodnovery is in this time frame - is it at all related to the modern religion or is it something different just using that name?

 

[Rhel]

Is anything of the "proper" greek religion left in your timeline?
I mean the olympian gods, dodecatheon, that stuff.
Or just the later henotheists/monotheists and mystery cults?

 

[Shaytana]

@Record Man

Allfather in this mod is the variety of Germanic religion that basically tries to go more towards monotheism. You could say it's the germanic answer to Christianity - it appears in areas bordering Christianity that resisted adopting it. Rodnovery is the term suggested to me for Slavic Paganism - I decided to use it for now given it means "native faith". Basically rodnovery in game = the politheistic worship of the slavic gods without any taking a preeminent role in the region.

@Rhel

Yes. It can be seen in the religion list I posted a few posts back. There's a few "ancient" religions in there that are alive and well, besides generic olympan stuff, there's Cybele or the worship of Jupiter Optimus Maximus (a deviation towards monotheism that), but my favorite is the worship of Alexandros-Ammon.

I'm going to release an alpha version tomorrow and then people can see it and see what they can help with... There's a million things they can help with from stuff like renaming placenames to adding dynasties/events etc. Right now I don't have the time to figure out who can help with what etc - I'm going to spend the time I can to finish the alpha version before I leave for 4-5days...(as I said before I might not be able to do anything for 4-5days) when I come back I can figure that out after people hopefully gave some feedback or offered to help with something.

An update: I am now 99.9999999999% certain I will release the alpha version tomorrow before I leave.(provided the sky doesn't fall on my head) Keep in mind though that this version will feature 0 gameplay testing under 1.06 conditions (other than the fact that it works), so it's going to be like a box of chocolates... you won't know what will come out.

 

[mike the knight]

Nice work bro but you have managed to confuse me is it playable under 1.06? I hope that you will find enough help when you come back:happy: ( i unfortunately will leave soon in a place without pc and internet connection:sad

Yes it is playable under 1.06 - just not balanced.

 

[Cainrae]

Yes it is playable under 1.06 - just not balanced.

I'll give it a swing once you release it and post my feedback here once i've tried it for a few hours

Thanks mate, hopefully you won't be too shocked by the Danish situation hehehehe. Well at least it's more fun to unify kingdoms than start as superpowers.

Cool! Definitely going to make europe bow before Zeus, Apollo and Athena then!

MOTHER VARANGIA!

Some notes on the less obvious stuff:
-The Rurikids of Holmgardr! They've copied the Romans and adopted Ódinn-Sól as their patron! They will build their new Empire of Gardariki!
-Kiev under a Rurikid branch descending from Oleg the Seer.
-Turov ruled by the non-Rurikid ancient local dynasty descended from Tur.
-Volhynia ruled by Haskuldrings - non-Rurikids descended from the varangian Haskuldr - descended from Ragnar Lodbrok!
-Siveria under the Dyrings - descended from Dyri - one of Rurik's lieutenants.
-Truvorings in Tver - descended from Rurik's brother Truvor
-Yulianovichs of Pereyaslavl rightly claim the bloodline of Roman Emperors. Can there be such a thing as a Russian Czar?
-the Vladimirovichs of Chernigov...this Rurikid line embraced Christianity...with dire consequences.
-Eirikings in Sursdalar - these varangians claim descent from Erik the Victorious!
-And a strange twist of fate... Styrbjörnings! Styrbjörn the Strong's descendants rule in Yaroslavl!
-Svafrlamings ruling over Rádstofa! The legendary Odinid kings of Gardariki exist! Their divine heritage might be in question, but their swords will silence the naysayers!
-Haakonings in Vitebsk. Descendants of the Jarl of Lade, Haakon Sigurdsson who helped the Rurikid Valdamarr the Great reclaim his lands.
-Ingvarrings rule over Beloozero. Ingvar Vittfarne's bloodline is ready to go South once more!

[mike the knight]

As I said release is tomorrow before I leave. I still need to fix a lot of stuff.

 

[Bad_Haggis]

Just had an Idea for why the Eastern Roman Empire is so Anti- Christain, If this guy had won the wars of the tetrarchy, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galerius.

 

[Shaytana]

If you want, I can help you .

After I release the alpha version we'll see how/if people can help hehe. Thank you for the offer in advance though!

Posted this to make it clear that it's not quite Mother Varangia - but rather a split situation - the more Slavicized Russians in the South, the Nordic character in the North.

This mod follows the concept of "picking your poison".

I think I will one day when I have time detail the history of the Roman Empire in this timeline hehehe. Galerius is a real fun emperor I admit! Love the guy.

I've implemented a Norse empire... it's called Miklaríki - the great kingdom in old Norse I believe...? Anyone with knowledge of old Norse can confirm I got it right? Or anyone have a better idea?

 

[mike the knight]

You could also try something like ASGARD for example . Take a look at Norse legends mate . it will give you interesting ideas to implement

 

[Sujit]

If I am not wrong Miklar means something like "Great development/stature". So IF I am right then I am kinda uncertain if the name give much sense, might aswell call it "Rapid Development Empire"

 

[Rhel]

Well Constantinople was called Miklagard by the norse, wasn't it?
So Mikla should be the right word I think.
