An Indo-Rome Mod: Renovatio Imperii

"This is truly one of the mods for ck2."


Greater scale. Greater lore. Greater effort. Greater gameplay.

An Indo-Rome Mod: Renovatio Imperii, is a remake of an old mod I made that adds a new intrigue decision that allowed you to summon an army of mysterious roman-larpers from the far east. This remake however, allows you to get the full and unique Indo-Roman experience, as I wasn't quite satisfied with the quality of the previous iteration.

V i e t i Re l i g i o n
--------------------

The various Vieti faiths, while dissimilar at a glance, have been living in close cooperation for hundreds of years, leading to a most unusual tolerance of their collective beliefs in particular. These beliefs are as follows:


Vieti Insular Christianity: A strange and almost foreign faith when compared to typical Catholic or Orthodox Christianity, Vieti Insular Christianity is the result of hundreds of years of isolation and separation from the Chalcedonian world. Lacking a proper Bible and relying heavily on oral tradition, This form of Christianity is undoubtedly disparate from its western cousin sects, remaining ever-militant, and almost syncretic in its handling of its accompanying pagan cults.

The Cult of Hereclemasculus: A sect of pseudo-Hellenic pagans who operate under a fluid yet harsh caste system, revering all things they consider to be manlike, worshipping a semi-mythical figure now known as Hereclemasculus, who ostensibly once wandered the world, preaching his virtues of strength and wisdom by espousing them through every action he took. Worshipping the physically imposing and mentally stalwart, while despising the weak and cowardly, the followers of Hereclemasculus are a militant people, often unforgiving of even the smallest slights against their convictions or divine patriarch. (Postscript Statement at the request of Mr. Hunter: They traditionally wrestle naked and covered in oil. For religious reasons, of course.)

The Vetimithraic Cults: Worshippers of Mithras and Sol, these heliacal cultists adhere to their creed of burning light, believing themselves to be the faithful of the almighty Giver of All Life and protecting founder of all civilization. Over the centuries, they have adopted various fragments of doctrine from other heliocentric faiths across the silk road. Leading to a dogma that is undoubtedly 'the Cult of the Sun.'

The Romantic Cults: Undoubtedly the most unusual of Vieti faiths, Romantic pagans, though their beliefs often differ from person to person and community to community, usually believe that the Roman Empire was a translated metaphor for the perfected spirit realm in which man used to reside, before being exiled to material world and forced into an endless struggle against barbarism and anarchy. Romantics are often avid and eager mystics, with many being accused of witchcraft for their unusual beliefs and strange rituals. Many Romantics believe Rome itself is a state of being rather than an actual physical city or former nation. One might describe the Romantics as gnostic, due to their belief that a perfected understanding of Rome can lead to one achieving the status of 'Divus.' A divine entity and protector of mankind.

The Borealic Britannic Cult: Though originating as an offshoot of Vetimithraicism, cultivated by the warlord Britannicus after subjugating much of the steppe, the Borealic faith is a syncretic earth and sky cult, diverse in both practices and deities, the cult itself promotes ritual sacrifice to the gods as acts of thanks and goodwill, as well as wholeness of body and individual strength of arms.

D I S C L A I M E R
--------------------

This mod will appeal to a very specific type of ck2 gamer. Specifically one that suffers from a mild case of serious brain damage.

Unfortunately this mod does require DLC.

I recommend playing with this mod on a fresh save.

Every time someone likes this mod, a small tribe of Vieti nationalists in Northern Cambodia is airdropped a crate containing olive oil and ak47s.
