Nerf Byzantine De Jure Territory
This mod changes the de jure empire of many kingdoms that are nonsensically apart of the Byzantine Empire in game.
The motivation is to nerf the Byzantine Empire, by making their de jure territory only the area that they had long and stable control over for the majority of the game’s time frame.
This way the AI is less aggressive against the Balkans, Sicily and the Caucasus.
The Byzantine Emperors cannot use their powerful special CB to conquer these regions and governors deployed in these regions get governor efficiency debuffs.
Other realms on the other hand can use the special CB to quickly conquer duchies from the Byzantines more often.
The Changes are (from West to East):
– Sicily -> Italian Empire
– Venice -> Italian Empire
– Trinacria (Creatable) -> Italian Empire
– Croatia -> Pannonia
– Bosnia (Creatable) -> Pannonia
– Serbia -> Pannonia
– Bulgaria -> Bulgarian Empire (a new Empire title)
– Armenia -> Transcaucasia (a new Empire title)
– Georgia -> Transcaucasia (a new Empire title)
Other Changes:
– De jure Empire of Moldavia and Wallachia has changed from Pannonia to the Bulgarian Empire
– The duchy of Shirvan is now apart of the new kingdom of Shirvan, instead of the kingdom of Daylam.
– The kingdom of Shirvan is apart of the Empire of Transcaucasia
– If you play with the Culture Expanded mod, this mod changes the de jure empire of the kingdom of Sardinia back to the Italian Empire, because the Culture Expanded mod nonsensically made Sardinia apart of the Byzantines
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with pretty much everything.
No DLC is required.
Put this mod below other mods that change the de jure territory.
Credit:
