The Fate of MENA: Crusader & Iranian Flavor Decisions Pack
This mod adds flavor content to parts of the MENA, primarily centered around new special decisions.
Outremer Empire
Modified Content
- Relaxed the requirements for Form the Outremer Empire decision: it can now be used if you hold the Arabian Empire or Latin Empire titles, or if your capital is located in North Africa.
- Increased the Prestige and Renown rewards given upon completing the decision.
- Upon completion, you can choose between 2 powerful cultural traditions, and can add the other by Cultural Reform decision.
- The Crusader Warrior tradition unlocks 2 powerful Men-at-Arms (Outremer Knights, Outremer Dismounted Knights) and allows unlimited Kingdom-tier Holy Wars.
- The Holy Sites Guardian tradition allows you to gain massive benefits from building temples.
- The Desert Tactics Innovation will unlock Men-at-Arms Pavisiers in addition.
New Content
- While holding the Outremer Empire title, you can establish the Hegemony of Crusaders instead of Dar al-Islam.
- The rulers of Crusader kingdoms can unlock 2 Outremer Men-at-Arms through the Recruit Crusader Warriors Decision.
Latin Empire
New Content
- When the Latin Empire does not exist, Crusader kingdoms can form it via a decision, which also grants a one-time Invasion CB against the Byzantine Empire.
- After conquering all of Byzantium as the Latin Empire and legitimizing your rule, you can transform the Latin Empire into the true Roman Empire.
Zoroastrian Persia
New Content
- As a Persian Zoroastrian, you can establish the Hegemony of Eranshahr instead of Dar al-Islam.
- Upon completion, Iranian heritage cultures will gain the Immortals tradition, replacing original military traditions.
- The Immortals tradition unlocks several powerful Men-at-Arms, including Zhayedan, Pushtigban, Grivpanvar and better Asawira.
- The Ancient Authority of Brilliance legacy unlocks Men-at-Arms, including Zhayedan, Grivpanvar and better Asawira.
- The Splendor Reborn of Brilliance legacy unlocks the Restore The Immortals Decision which enables rulers who were Zoroastrians or whose culture had Iranian heritage to recruit Zhayedan and Pushtigban Men-at-Arms.
Dar al-Islam
Modified Content
- Greatly increased the Prestige and Renown rewards given upon completing the decision.
- Fixed an issue where the Head of Faith title was not properly destroyed.
New Content
- When Establishing Dar al-Islam, if your culture has the Mubarizun tradition, it will be replaced with stronger Ghazis tradition, which unlocks Ghilman Men-at-Arms. (The tradition can still be added later through Cultural Reform decision.)
- Muslim rulers whose culture has the Ghilman Innovation can unlock Ghilman Men-at-Arms through the Training Ghilman Decision.
