Historical Anglo Saxons

HIP Version: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1713863328

Historical Anglo Saxons was heavily inspired by Jamie Jeffer's The British History Podcast. If you're interested in a culturally focused deep-dive into the history of Britain, I'd very much recommend giving it a listen at https://www.thebritishhistorypodcast.com/

Briefly, this mod adds the following to the early 2 start dates.

New Bloodlines! Custom bloodlines now for Cerdic, Penda, Ida, Offa, and Hengest & Horsa.

Witan Succession
- A combination of tanistry and feudal elective succession types
- All vassals 2 levels down from the ruler can elect the successor
- Vassals have the vote preferences of feudal elective, but any dynastic character may be elected
- Additionally, the spouses of the current ruler may be elected (i.e. Aethelflaed, Lady of Mercia)

Map and Starting Troops
- All of Britain starts as tribal, with England being more developed than other parts
- This mimics the Fyrd system of troop recruitment
- To offset this, all starting rulers begin with a varying number of "retinue" heavy troops
- They do not cost anything to maintain, and reinforce at 20% the regular rate of retinues
- Additionally, being Tribal enables Anglo Saxon rulers to raid against the heathens in 867.
- The starting troops are not disbanded on inheritance
- The rulers of England now only control their capital counties, and have random vassals to control.

Crohn's Disease
- The affliction of Alfred the Great is now modeled in CK2
- Works similarly to Gout, but is substantially less likely to happen to your character
- There is no cure, as it's an autoimmune disease that is still outside the scope of modern medicine

Norse Invasions
- Added an invasion that will make Ubbe the ruler of the 5 boroughs on success

Retinue and Buildings
- New Waerod retinue and cultural building
- Mixture of heavy infantry and pikemen

House of Wessex
- Æthelred now starts with a wife and 2 sons, Æthelhelm and Æthelwold
- Alfred now starts with his wife, Ealhswith

Note: since Alfred generally has the highest learning in Wessex in 867, he almost always starts as the successor to a bishop. This disqualifies him for selection under the Witan, so you have to nominate a different bishop's successor in order to have him as an elector.

I personally play on half Demesne and Vassal limit with this mod. It should be compatible with most other mods that do not impact the map, buildings, or retinues folders. I currently play with the following mods:
- Abdication Plus
- Better Looking Garbs
- Better Forts
- Co-Emperors and Symbasileuses
- Colored Buttons
- Commander Trains You
- Enhanced Raiding
- Improved Genetics
- White Dragon Flag

Future changes (I work a lot, so no promises on when they get implemented):
- Adding West Saxon, Mercian, Northumbrian, and Anglian cultures, that will melt into Anglo Saxon if there is a King of England with one of those cultures
- Disbanding the starting troops once a top liege converts to feudalism
- Non-claim based war for Ubbe, will require creating a landed title for the Five Boroughs
- I have an HIP version available, but am waiting on the next release to publish it here
