HIP – Byzantine Improvements
This mod is meant to be primarily a nerf/improvement on the Byzantines in the wonderful Overhaul known as HIP
BTW THIS MOD REQUIRES HIP (Historical Immersion Project)
HIP does an incredible job at making CK2 as a whole a harder game, however in regards to the Byzantines there was a few minor things that still allowed Byzantines to be very OP and easy to bounce back in the late start dates, this mod is primarily an attempt to address those things.
here is a list of the changes
In 1204 and afterwards remove serbia and bulgaria from dejure Byzantium
In 1282 Trebizond is removed from dejure Byzantium
Varangians only have at max 1000 men from start to end of the gameReconquest CB requires 3000 prestige to use and costs 1500 on useAdds hybrid culture of Rumi, spawns a bit after when turks convert to orthodoxy makes dejure d_thrace three counties bigger at the expense of d_plodiv losing 2, and d_srtymon losing 1 county. this largely motivated by Bulgaria no longer being part of dejure Byzantium.
