Marble Emperor
Re-wrote "homeland" series events with new mechanics introduced with my mod Assimilation & Homeland .
- You do not need both mods for the updated events to work.
- You get unique contents if you have both mods active.
The last Roman emperor Constantine XI [en.wikipedia.org] fell with his empire on May 29, 1453. However, there is no reliable account that his body was ever found. In a popular Greek legend, he had not died, but rescued by angel and turned into marble, awaiting a call from God to retake Constantinople and restore his empire. Thus, the legend of the "Marble Emperor".
What if the fantasy came true? This mod adds events you can use to bring the emperor back to lead the young nation of Greece, and set on his mission of restoring his fallen empire.
Centuries after fall of the Greek speaking Eastern Roman Empire, most Greeks still refer to themselves as Romans [www.romanity.org]. It is up until early 19th century that the term “Hellenes” gained popularity. One reason behind this is that Greek nationalists sought to build a new identity different from the Roman one 400 years submissive under Ottoman yoke.
In 1832, three years after Greece won its independence [en.wikipedia.org]. The three Great Powers, Britain, France and Russia, considered a monarchy in Greece would better suit their interests. King Otto [en.wikipedia.org], a young Bavaria prince, was chosen to rule this new born nation.
This mod’s “what if” occurs after this. Growing more discontent about foreign influences, the Greeks start to question their independence, is all those years of fighting, all those bloodsheds, just for changing one suzerain into another? “What would our emperor, who would rather die fighting then surrender, say if he saw us in current state?”
