Thanks for your support
To Doomfarer, Ostrogoths smashing Odovakar is nothing. Langobards on the other hand, luckily they only need to (a rough simplification comes here) first move into Austria after Odovakar have smashed the Rugians without occupying their territory (will probably have some event so that this can happen in the scenario) and later moving in into Italy after Roman Empire have crushed the Ostrogoths. And starting later would mean no Geiserik (rules to 497) and no Theoderik Strabo (to 481, after his death Theoderik, son of Thiudimir is left as the only Ostrogoth ruler). And starting in the 500-hundreds would mean no Syagrius, no Julius Nepos, and no possibility to keep the western part of the Roman Empire alive as an administrational entity (happens if you keep Romulus Augustulus as your puppet in the event).
To Wryun, starting as late as the IFU would mean no Vandals! And no scenario is complete without the civilized Vandals
. And that would also mean that all the work have allready actually been done, and the unlimited time patch would be necessary unless you want a short 750-819 scenario. 476-819 means that instead you only need some imagination and get some time to play
. The destabilizing random events for larger nations is a very good idea. For the moving "Barbarians" one might find some inspiration from the EEP events for the Uzbeks move south. I'm planning to base the events for the movements on those events.
JosipT, the reason I don't use the unlimited time patch is the reasons wryun wrote and also I don't want to force anyone that thinks this scenario to be interesting to use it.
For now I would request monarchs for (Eastern) Roman Empire for this time (1476-1819 gamewise). Use Ids 15088 and up. What I have for the moment for them is just this:
Code:
[COLOR=silver]#(Eastern) Roman Empire#
historicalmonarch = {
id = { type = 6 id = 15088 }
startdate = {
year = 1476
}
deathdate = {
year = 1491
}
name = "Zenon"
DIP = 6
MIL = 6
ADM = 6
}
#Ids used 15088-[/COLOR]
I want more then that short monarchfile
Now to Religions in this scenario.
For the moment these are the religions in play (some countries may have the wrong religion but that will then be fixed):
-pagan: those "Barbarians" outside "Roman territory" (roughly)
-catholic: Represents Catholicism and Greek-Orthodox (still no major differense between them). Rome (W & E), Burgundy, J. Nepos, Syagrius, Svebians.
-orthodox: Represent Copts and other Eastern Churches (not Greek-Orthodox, those are counted as catholic). No nations have this as state religion. Name for religion needed.
-protestant: Represents Arianism, State religion for Tolosan Empire, Ostrogoths and Vandalia.
Other religions not used in the scenario yet:
-reformed: Have no idea what to let this represent.
-CRC: see above
-sunni: will represent Islam
-shiite: may use as Mazdeism/Zoroastrism (as in Lofman's History)
-hinduism: Probably Hinduism
-buddhism: Probably Buddhism
-confucianism: Probably Confucianism
Reason why Mazdeism/Zoroastrism isn't used yet is that I have yet to include Sasanid Persia on the map, Islam isn't used because it didn't exist yet.
