regarding north africa:
"north african campaign" ; that is the last event that triggers after all the other "campaigns"; however this particular event gives ONLY cb's and no cores, wich mean is impossible to conquer all the north african minors without getting bb wars( always on "very hard" settings here); seems to me that that event needs a follow -up( just to test it i did conquer all north africa and all i got is an event that aknoladges that and some money but STILL no cores and no culture....); just an idea: for italian and maghebi cultures and cores....if they player owns them or the majority then he/she should receive it ( unlike the other cores wich are given BEFORE campaign begins). like this would make it more chalanging but rewarding as well in case it is done; add to it possiblly new "campaigns" gaining "tatar", "persian", "nubian" "ethiopian", "caucasian" cultures, with cores to be given AFTER conquest?
regarding itally:
conquering rome right at the start (must be done BEFORE the union of churches)( quiet hard since no navy, took like 10 loans first 2 years) makes byz inheriting and then once going catholic the rest of the events DO TRIIGER as intended as same as the orthodox byz version (+ the much wanted italian culture)
however comparing both my tests, i did much better ( tech levels, manus) with ORTHODOX byz then THE CATHOLIC VERSION, wich is quiet odd, BUT is very likelly becouse all the extra provinces to convert everywhere( but if manage to get all itally that can be started, otherwise impossible)
-as catholic , there are those random extra events for conversions; only got 1, i guess bad luck
regarding various cores:
-in no event can get cores on cyrenica and the one beside it( 99% mameluks have them)
-no core on daghenistan even if still turkish
-dalmatia, ottos starting provinces( i hear that was just fixed in a brand new version? i will look soon)
- no cores on itally except the sicilly and apulia( now i know that they should NOT BE GIVEN EASY those cores, but IF byz manage to own them for some time lets say, should not eventually get it?)
-kirul and iraq provinces are needed in order for the choptic events to fire ( by the way having 50years 8 rr in order to gain kurdish and syrian provinces is totally not worth to do so; those are only 3 provinces with allepo the only significant one to have)
-IF moving capital to rome and then releasing "papal" , byz capital will always move to MACEDONIA and not THRACE.
- no cores on georgia
-no cores on south crimea even if there is an event that triggers once owned them...
- bulgaria has core on macedonia( wich is greek).macedonia formed it at one point after i waited and helped the rebels sustain that province for hope of its defection to me
regarding events:
-the event that has the anatolian familly OR macedonian one fighting giver 5rr in either provinces; now having this event a few times can get 30rr or so easilly; very cool, but should not the "rr" be timed for a certain number of months instead of it remaining "on" permanentlly?
- the last "expansion" event, the one to go foward for north africa, mentiones great rewards IF manage to get gibraltar from spain( wich of course i hapilly did) but there is absolutelly NO EVENT to even aknoladge that...( probablly something to be developed further?)
- byz gets a FEW events regarding holland rebels( if netherlands appear and one BEFORE that) . triggers "byz interference" for spain...again there is no rewards or anything else if provide support to dutch rebels
- once owning armenia there is an event that gives some wiered options that could make sense IF there is at least a follow up event.
- if choose "byz colonial" FLAG i kept getting non stop revolts in any colony i make ( looked in file i, it is a random event) the problem is that it triggers on YEARLLY bases almost( maybe again just very bad luck?)
- when annexing mameluks; definatelly the event about releasing hedjia( MECCA) does not work well if any of those arabic provinces are owned by someone else....all 3 times i tested byz i kept owning mecca...i think that is becouse the hedjia revoltee file does NOT include mecca...
- the "jyhad" events ( in case i expel muslim from jerusalim OR i keep mecca) trigger for the muslim nations (not for oman and those from arabic peninsula except aden) but there is no WAR...( i guess they only get cb on me?) my opinion is that they should all dow me and give possibility of conquering arabian peninsula in hard fought defensive war
)
-now, when this "mod"( resurgent byz) was first released, there was an event that , in the first play years, i could get the option to go PAGAN and get cores on all former roman empire...what happened to it?
VERY IMPORTANT----the "mameluks revolt"( when need to release them and give as well provimces away; becouse no cores on cyrenica, etc...i could not not fully annex them ( i always play on resonable bb limit + on very hard i have no need of bb wars); so i just took my core back and VASSALIZED them...however when the expire date came around i LOST all cores on them ( even if they were 4 provinces left, egypt and 3 others that were no cores on...)...furthermore, beeing catholic byz in this case, i did NOT get the event that could change my tech to LATIN ( i presume becouse i "lost" against the resurgent mameluks?)
what i want to get to is that should i not imherit them again IF they are my vassal , one province?( presuming that byz would have cores on all its provinces when need to release it)
