Ancient Religions Reborn

Compatible with CK2 3.3.0

Ancient Religions Reborn is a project to give flavor and mechanics to the Hellenic religion, as well as provide events for the restoration of the Celtic and Egyptian pagan religions under certain circumstances.

- Restore Rome for real! Become the Pontifex Maximus and make your un-marriagable daughter into a Vestal Virgin!
- Sweep Prydain as a Celtic Pagan and cast out the last remnants of foreign rule! Reform the faith and establish the Circle of Druids, with the Arch Druid at its head!
- Become Pharoah and re-establish the ancient priesthood of the Kemetic religion! Restore the Temple at Luxor and bring glory to Amun-Ra!

Features a special decision that is useable on the first day of the game, before you unpause, that will turn most of the world into pagans (or Zoroastrians) based on their culture. Most of the screenshots you see are all of a world that has been "paganified."
All this and more can be had!

BACK UP YOUR SAVES before trying Ancient Religions with other mods.FAQ: READ THESE. I will IGNORE all of these questions if they show up in the comments!Is this mod compatible with the EU4 Converter?Currently no. I hope to write our own converter mod in the future, but first I want to make the CK2 experience as good as I can. CK2+ has converter support and incorporates AR into it.What about HIP? CK2+?ARR is not currently compatible with the Historical Immersion Project or CK2+. I would like compatibilty with HIP in the future, but it's unlikely before I feel the mod is more stable, from a feature perspective. CK2+ incorporates an old version of ARR and is thus inherently incompatibile.Could CK2+ get the new ARR features?I've given them a perpetual "license" to incorporate ARR content as they please, you'll have to bring it up with the CK2+ team if you want them to use a newer version of ARR.Will you add my favorite religion?Not likely. I'm focusing on making sure the current three religions and their heresies are flavorful and feature-rich. I am way more interested in having a small number of very well done religions than a bunch of really shallow ones.I think that the Lets. Get. PAGAN! decision should...Nope. The "Lets. Get. PAGAN!" decision is a magic button that turns the whole world pagan, and was originally designed as a debugging feature that, on a whim, I decided to make available to players. I don't consider it an important aspect of the mod, nor is it the intended way to experience the mod's content. As such, I have little interest in giving it any significant support.Can I get a direct download?Sure! https://github.com/xirsoi/ancientreligions/archive/master.zipI do like watching that subscriber count go up though...If you like this, or my other mods, please consider supporting me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/xirsoi or you can send me a tip at ko-fi: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/erzacFm
