Romanian Flavor Mod
A historical-flavor mod focused on giving the Vlach/Romanian world a stronger and more fitting presence in Crusader Kings III.
This mod expands the Vlach presence across the Carpathian region in 867, especially in Transylvania/Ardeal, Crișana, Banat, Maramureș, Moldova, Wallachia, and nearby borderlands.
The goal is to make the region feel more alive, more historically inspired, and more interesting to play. Figures such as Gelu, Glad, and Menumorut are added as early medieval Vlach/Orthodox rulers, inspired by the old traditions and historical debates surrounding the Carpathian Basin.
This mod is still early in development, but I hope it can help bring more attention to the history of the Vlach/Romanian people in CK3. Maybe one day Paradox will give this region deeper official flavor too.

This mod is still in early development. More Romanian/Vlach flavor will be added step by step.
It should be compatible with most mods, but full compatibility is not guaranteed if another mod edits the same titles, cultures, or 867 setup.

This mod is based on the medieval chronicle Gesta Hungarorum[en.wikipedia.org], Romanian historical tradition, and the early medieval Vlach presence in the Carpathian region.
Figures such as Gelu[en.wikipedia.org], Glad[en.wikipedia.org], and Menumorut[en.wikipedia.org] are included because they are directly connected to the history of the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin and the Vlach/Romanian presence in Transylvania, Banat, and Crișana.
