Regional Travel Events - Byzantium

Tired of facing the same events when travelling from the jungles of India to the snows of Scandinavia? This mod will ensure your travels truly reflect the areas you roam through.

Listen to a madman's prophecy of dragon fire in Dubrovnik, discuss philosophy with Icon painters in Greece, try your hand at Cormoran fishing in Dalmatia, invest in shipping in the Serenissima Republic of Venice, face suspected vampires in Bulgaria, hold down spicy Sicilian specialties or negotiate Armenian carpets… this mod adds 326 travel events, all specific to individual Byzantine duchies.

A “full” version of this mod is also available; https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3000657129 , with support for more empires. You can check the available events here and leave feedback on them: https://travelevents.millenaire.org/events . You can either use the full mod to get all the available events for the Empires covered, or add individual mods for each empire for a more targeted experience. Currently available as individual mods:
- Italy : https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148960087

Fully translated to French, Spanish, German, Russian, Chinese and Korean.

The general principles:
- Have events that refer to specific cultural / geographic / historical features of the duchies the player go through
- Have the events be historically based, but keep things flexible chronology-wise (i.e. a lot of events refer to middle or latte middle-age features even if you can get them from the start date)
- Have the gameplay impacts be rather muted, so they don't disbalance things too much. This is essentially a flavour mod, not a gameplay mod. Expect to gain small amounts of prestige or lifestyle experience, not overpowered items
- Some events give unique items (grey & green quality only). Pimp your court and yourself with a scale model of the Mont Saint Michel, a crown taken from a large Marmot, or a Roman statuette found in the catacombs!

Full disclosure: those events are created with a custom software I've build that uses GPT4 to generate possible event topics and generate drafts of the final events, which are then selected, edited and validated by hand. Translations are done with GPT3.
