Eastern Roman Culture & Flavor

This mod introduces a unique Eastern Roman culture within the Byzantine culture group.

Note: This mod was created primarily for roleplaying purposes. It may not strictly follow historical accuracy, and that is intentional. ERCF has its own artistic vision and it follows that. The focus is on exploring possibilities within the game.

The culture starts unrepresented on the map. No rulers or provinces use it by default. You can use it in the Ruler Designer to roleplay as a not-fully-Hellenized Eastern Roman. While historically rare or nonexistent at even CK3’s earliest start dates, this mod imagines a world where some Eastern Romans maintained and embraced their original identity.

⋅ Decisions & Events: Restore various Dioceses and Exarchates of the Late Roman period

⋅ Flavor: Latin-leaning namelist for Eastern Roman cultured characters and its offsprings,
new innovations, new MaA units, new illustrations, new special buildings

⋅ Map: Tweaked de jure borders, redrawn duchy, county and barony borders, better reflecting the historical Roman borders

⋅ And many more.

⋅ As i am making more and more additions to the mod, sadly anything could be incompatible.

⋅ I have limited time, so as of now this mod is a community-driven project. If you want to get more directly involved and help expand the mod, please reach out via Steam, or add me on Discord. @menacesdepartir
