Crusade’s Triumph
This is the mod we are currently using for our Grand Campaign from 867 CK2.
In this world, the Crusades have won complete victory across Europe and the Middle East. The Orthodox faith has fallen, but in recent years is seeing a resurgence. The Mongols left a trail of destruction across the world, but they have left behind a strong Bulgaria–ready to dominate the Balkans.
I’m uploading this because 1) It’s very interesting and my group of friends have been carefully curating the lore and 2) so we can have an easier time sharing files/playing the game.
Not a whole lot has changed besides ideas, province history, nation history–but Europe is in an extremely interesting state.
Interesting world history:
* The Teutonic Order invaded / settled Russia, leaving a lasting rivalry between the remaining Russian and German states. Who will unite Russia? (Teutons have a mission to form Russia / turn into a monarchy)
* The Byzantine Empire was crushed and destroyed by the Mongol Empire, who also absolutely demolished the Islamic world.
* Bulgaria is a Bolghar / Reformed Tengri monarchy poised to expand into Europe
* Poland is a fallen empire with nations of the same dynasty all around it. Starts with Galicia-Volhynia as a march.
* England is Norse, with an independent Mercia surrounded by Iceland and the HRE
* The HRE is French, encompassing most of Central Europe
* Island Vikings! Maintain control over Scandinavia as Iceland. Comes with custom ideas that allow for raiding.
* Genoa has a trade empire across the Mediterranean, but will it hold? They are in a prime position to flee Europe for the New World.
* Italy has fallen! Navigate the landscape in Italy as several states fight for control.
Feel free to play! If you do, let me know who you played as and how your game went.
