Hello everyone, I have updated this mod to be compatible with Holy Fury if you want to play as the Western Romans:

@Typhoon
Absolutely not. These are 2 completely different cultures.

Если есть русские, то мод я обновил кому надо могу скинуть

isnt west rome just italia

@Widowmaker I don't mean to be the guy who screams "UPDATE PLS" but how long will it be 'til the updated version of this mod be uploaded?

You had to get +60 opinion with the pope

Couldn't figure out how I was supposed to form the empire with the requirement that it being AI controlled, so I changed the requirement to remove that and added catholic to being able to form it pretty easily. Works great now

Okay, I'm actually almost done on it now. Finished the custom graphics and got the basic events n' shit ready. Now I just have to clear out the stuff that's non-essential to the mod.

How can an imperial administration be made like in Byzantium? please tell me which folders to climb and what needs to be changed

@Widowmaker thx for the news

@Widowmaker Yeah, go ahead. I was actually thinking the other day that I should maybe finally update this mod, but as I can see there will be no need for that. It's good to know that the mod will once again have a future.

@HelloThere
I've taken it upon myself to update the mod and add new features to it. Will you allow me to publish this continuation of your mod?

ok for 3.0version?

lol lost interst in ck2 how?

This mod works fine for me

ded

yea waiting here too

Eagerly waiting the update so this mod will be compatible with HF...

I wish this was compatible with HF. I think the only big change would be the required provinces right?

..what would one have to do to make this barebones compadible. i have some modding exp and have winmerge so id be willing to do it for myself untill you have the time

@Xiao Mei Mei 小妹妹史诗时间 Sadly, it does not. I will be updating the mod when I have more free time.

oh wait i forgot holy fury did something like added more italian provinces and changed some ;(

Does this still work for Holy Fury, Ewan McGregor?

@[YT] Gab à Vrac [FR] No. First of all, you have to be orthodox and pope is the religious leader of catholicism. Also I haven't updated this mod since the release of holy fury, so it probably won't work.

so, i f i play the pope (with a mod), i can create this empire?

@[YT] Gab à Vrac [FR] At the start of the game pope is in Rome. This mod does not change any starting bookmarks, only add a decision, an event and WRE title, which is formed by the said decision.

i have a mod where i can play the pope, where is the catholic pope in your mod?

@[YT] Gab à Vrac [FR] And what about him? Even if he loses all landed titles, he will still exist.

and the pope? where is he? where is the papacy?

Hi, i like your project and it shows a lot of promisse!
I tried my hand at modding a WRE but I couldn't focus on it what with life and all. But if you're interested and want some ideas I could pass you the files I worked on and you could adapt anything you'd like into your mod!
So if you like the idea just ask and I'd be happy with providing you with evrything I have!

@HWH8er13 Would make WRE too overpowered.

how come Gaul and the iberian peninsula aren't de jure parts of the empire?

@eye candy No, it says, that you either have to be AI or your head's of religion opinion has to be at least 60

It says my character has to be AI controlled to make rome

The only thing the Holy "Roman" empire has in common with the eastern roman empire is the word "Rome" in it, ironically byzantium doesnt even have rome in it and its more roman in game than the "roman" empire, pure bs. If anything should be modded, its to make the holy ROMAN empire to have ROMAN mechanics. This set up is pure nonsense to begin with and is 100% the designers at paradox's fault, so I cant really blame the mod author here, but it would be nice to make the holy roman empire actually have roman mechanics, instead of... you know... greece.

Not all empires are the same in game, though. Rome and Byzantium have unqiue mechanics that other empires (Tibet, Wendish, Arabian, etc.) do not have. Notably, they have the reconquest events when they take back old provinces, they have the born in the purple trait, and they have Varangian events. So, they are quite distinct from generic empires like the ones listed above. Persia also has some unique events, as do the Aztecs and the Mongols. I'm excluding China because you can't actually play as as China. Ethiopia and the various Indian empires are also pretty generic. Francia and the HRE have events -if- you start as Charly and turn on story events.

@TheCommissar In terms of history, you are correct. It never was anything like HRE, but that's not what I meant by saying "HRE already is Western Roman Empire just the catholic version"(note that I wrote "is" and not "was", implying that I was speaking about the game and not history). If we are talking about gameplay, then every single empire is exacly the same in CK2 and so I wanted it feel at least a bit different. I guess it's a mistake on my part, for not making that sentence more clear and so I will correct it.

>HRE already is Western Roman Empire just the catholic version.

Dear lord no it is not. Not one single bit. Not even CLOSE to accurate. That statement is completley wrong in any historical or gameplay sense and sounds like you just pulled it out of thin air.

"Why only orthodox and not catholic?
Because this mod is meant to be an orthodox counterpart for Holy Roman Empire"
Did you not notice the byzantium and legacy of rome mod, thats the coutnerpart to the holy roman empire. HRE is just a generic catholic faction with absoutely no roman mechanics at all. If anything you should enable roman mechancics for the holy ROMAN EMPIRE.

"HRE already is Western Roman Empire just the catholic version" This is historically wrong as well as mechanically wrong. The in game HRE doesn't work like the actual Roman Empire, nor did the historical version therof.

why bother with rome if its not pagan. nevermind pagan but hellinic.

@YoRo That's because WRE is not a united Roman Empire.

Also I dunno why but when you form WRE you dont get trait Augustus. Thats lame

Can you please make a version where you can create the WRE as any Christian instead?

Now I can form WRE. Nevermind I am just filthy blind motherfucker who cant see shit in game.
Sorry for disturbance

I dont have any Head of Religion at all, so cant form WRE. Wish there is no option about head of religion... .

This might be an issue with the base game, but if you form the Roman Empire while the WRE or ERE are trying to assimilate a de jure, those de jures will be locked for some reason

@Fornad As I already mentioned in description, all mods that alter realm_decisions.txt or "Legacy of Rome" events are incompatible. Of course, I do not know what mods you use, so if you want me to point out the incompatible ones, you should post a list here of all the mods you use.

For example ?

Or you're not an independant orthodox ruler that isn't byzantium. You can't actually see the WRE button if you aren't all 3 of those things.
