Europa Normannorum
So, about a year ago I’ve been having such a great campaign in CK2 that I decided to convert it. Unfortunately due to me converting a century early, the converted being even ♥♥♥♥♥ier than I remembered, and both the HRE and religion modding being ever so limited I’ve been forced to do modding and lore-making on such extensive scale that it’d be a real petty were the mod be forgotten completely after me completing a single campaign in it.
So, the premise is following: the year is 1336 and the New Year’s feast at the Prince Aribert’s castle in Portugal is coming to conclusion. Suddenly, Geila, Empress of the Romans is found dead, murdered in her sleep. With her presumably treacherous Varangians being executed the very second by Aribert, Strategoi and Princes of the Empire find themselves unable to find the guilty. The distrust within the Empire is such that the Senate finds itself unable to nominate the new Emperor even in spite of previously voting unanimously on Aribert’s appointment as Symbasileus. Finally, the princes of each province are forced to elect their own ruler, while Romania’s protectorate over many external territories comes to a factual end.
Recommended mods and compatibility:
So, needless to say I’ve changed quite a lot of the base game, so this mod will not be compatible with quite a few others, particulary the ones that change vanilla countries, map and religions. Ages, institutions and many vanilla evnets/decisions are also changed completely. It is however mostly going to work with the ones that change cultures, add new tags and ideas.
I am also not sure if everything is going to work correctly without Dharma, sorry.
I also made several new coats of arms, that were aimed for the mods that make the flag border an actual square, such as my own Scuta Europae.
Finally, there are quite a few big countries at start. I tried to mitigate it with a new triggered modifier, that will debuff everyone before the Age of Discovery (if you haven’t looke at the screens, yeah, I’ve added a new age), however I’d also recommend one of the mods that debuff large nations, making it harder to blob. There are several of them on the workshop, so I’ll leave the choice to you.
Oh, and finally, I have no plans for buying Emperor before it goes on sale, so I am probably not going to update the mod for a while (except maybe bug-fixing). If someone else wishes to do it though, I’d be willing to even provide him/her the ck2 save so long as I am still mentioned as the original uploader.
