Romanorum Prosapia
A Mod for Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday
A Mod for Hearts of Iron 2 Doomsday
I recently was toying around with an idea in my head. So i figured id announce it to the modding community to see if we can take up the challenge. I plan on creating a mod taking place in an alternate time line where the Roman houses/factions survived into the mid 1900's. Of course each house will be an independent nation. The 3 new nations will be the Brutti, Julii, and the Scipii. Here is a little background information on each house
Brutii
The House of Brutii, was similar in caliber to the House of Julii. Some historians label the Brutii as even more well-regarded as the Julii, as many Romans believed the Brutii to be descendants of the original founders of Rome, while the Julii occasionally fell out of popular favor.
This nation is located in Southern Italy for the most part, as well as central Italy.
Julii
Located in Northern Italy around the Rome region, the Julii, more widely known as the dynasty that produced Gaius Julius Caesar. So many political events, battles, and ideas have been drawn from Caesar’s time that they are all but impossible to list here. His biography is inextricably linked with the history of the House of Julii, and his career was the foremost expression of their political success.
From the earliest events during the Roman founding until Caesar’s time, the House of Julii had been involved every step of the way. It was under Julius Caesar that the House of Julii reached its zenith of power, all the while pushing the boundaries of the Roman world further and further across Europe. Through this expansion, the Roman Republic conquered new territories in Western and Northern Europe, including Spain, France, southern parts Britain, and western parts of Germany.
Scipii
The Scipii located in Sicily and small parts of southern Italy. More information needed.
So heres what i will needed help with:
- Events involving the 3 nations (possibly dealing with Civil Wars, Conquering Italy, Expansion, etc.)
- Historical backgrounds of the nations, and story to go with the nations lasting into the mid 1900's (i know it probably would never happen but it's a mod it doesn't have to be 100% historical)
- Probable Leaders, and territories (i have a basic image in my head but i believe it should be close to historical)
- Government type (my ideas are that the Scipii - Fascist or Paternal Autocrat, Julii - Paternal Autocrat or Social Conservative, and Brutii - Social Conservative. But give me suggestions of something different if you wish)
- Map. This is where it may get tricky, giving them probable land for this time line. Here is a map from Rome: Total War to give some a small idea of to what each nation may hold.
- Graphic art for title, and loading screen.
I'll except anyone's assistance, as i need much of it, being my first mod.
