Events of Impact: The Roman Empire
A few words first:
First of all I want to thank the discord community for helping me, and a special massive thank you to Stik’ (MMM) for helping me everytime I came running to the discord channel, being patient and pedagogic so my little mod brain could comprehend and learn. Without Stik’ this mod would never have existed.
The quality is my responsibility alone, Stik’ helped me with the technical aspects, but if you dont like what this mod does or think its written poorly etc it is me alone.
DESCRIPTION:
Events of Impact is a event mod introducing a few events that have greater impact on your playthrough when playing a specific title. What that means is that all events are specifically written with the player holding certain titles or/and cultures, and therefore is not optimized for the AI holding the title.
But important to note is that the AI handles this well regardless, but my focus is on making the player challanged and immersed, especially the ones who think it is a bit too easy.
This pack aims to dynamically shake up your campaign with historically accurate events that can happen when certain criterias are met.
The focus for this mod is "The Byzantine Empire", or more accurately the Roman Empire, and aims to make playing as the emperor more thrilling.
Events added:
Barbarians demand tribute: When the Roman Empire is weakened the nomads of the steppes and the islamic realms of the east will want to demonstrate their might. The Roman emperor will have to face demands of tribute and threats of war if he dares to refuse.
Will you pay a handsome sum of gold to have a truce?
Or will you refuse and fight them off?
Just rememeber, your vassals will judge you for your actions..
Bulgarian and Norman Aggression: The Bulgarians came first, centuries of trouble and unrest. Then came the Normans, unrelenting and untrustworthy. These people are opportunistic barbarians who strikes at first sign of weakness. Stay vigilant, as they watch your every move..
The Roman Polity: The Roman Empire is empire founded as a republic, though the sytem have been reformed countless times, its republican heritage still lingers as the emperor gets his legitimacy through popularity with the people, the military and the church. Popular opinion and right to rule can swing fast when either incompetant or the current situation in the world makes ruling difficult. Therefore a pretender can appear as swiftly when percieved as possibly better suited to rule.
Watch out for the talented, who shows greater promise to lead an army, who is more famed and displays more piety.
Triumph & Defeat: When the empires campaigns succeed there is glory to be had and content vassals, even more so if the emperor spends a major sum of gold to both celebrate it in a great triumph and pay his army well.
But in defeat however your fame fades, and the Romans grow restless towards you. They start to ask questions, questions like "Are you fit to rule us?".
The Latin Pretenders & The King of Kings, Ruler of Rulers: The latins of the west have for long tried to claim their barbarian kings as emperors of the west, asking for our acceptance to legitimize them.
But as time has gone by the west is growing rapidly, and we have been under greater and greater pressure..
The Pope has grown more confident and claims to be able to crown a Roman emperor himself, and in doing so challanges us directly.
If we are to be seen as the true Roman Empire we need to stay on top, letting no barbarian pretender surpass us..
THIS IS MY FIRST CK3 MOD:
Please give me feedback, and I hope you like the mod. I am a busy dad, but I will try to reply quickly.
This mod should be compatible with anything really.
Events I want to make some day:
Something with the Venetians trading in Constantinople, and over time growing to become a problem.
Rare Hippodrome events, with some impact.
Some religious events with the Patriarch and/or holy days like christmas etc.
