you revive this mod?

depending on my mood i'll attempt to revive it, first with the original version, but Markellus isnt around, with this one. however like I said on the original mod's page, I make 0 promises

Looks like this might once again be needed for Royal Court. I know it's still pretty early to declare that, but until now, it worked despite not technically being supported,

Please just start your own mod, Markellus seems veeeery unstable. No harm intended, but also, after so much time gone and still MaA is Space Marine OP and Byz becomes like a U.S.A realm -a little infighting but by far the strongest realm in the world.

@Moloch @nyyfandan Hey, I'll check in with Markellus and see whats up. I was planning on helping more with the main mod, however just kind of didnt end up happening, so i dont know the status of it.

I think this mod will always be needed. better if you continue this mod work if you can and if you are able.

needed again unfortunately

it seems the no duchy limit mod does not work well unless maybe loading order is reversed or so(I also used daddy pikas cheat menu because I like being a god XD

@GoatScream original works fine on my end, what are you noticing? I can prob make a quick fix

needed again

Not all heros wear capes Ramos, you're a true soldier.

Thanks for your work, Negative Ramos! You kept the dream of Rome alive in the interim.

bruh thx for all your work my dude. Damn bruuuh

@Negative Ramos, Thanks for your work in upkeeping this mod in recent months. Glad you and Markellus could come to an understanding and will be working together going forward. Looking forward to potential new content!

@MrFunEGUY But I did concede PDX is good for making game mechanics, but flavour-wise, the community is still better at developing over the tools PDX gives

@AVRELIANVS "usually" enough said for me honestly. I prefer continued support. Also, do you think the Propaganda and Espionage mod is better than the Espionage DLC Paradox is releasing soon? Unlikely. Paradox has the resources to do mechanics significantly better than modders.

Hey everyone, quick update!

Markellus has returned and updated the original mod found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2218592748

Him and I have come to an understanding and I've been added as a collaborator and will continue to help work on the mod. He also created a public discord to organize things better.

In case you have any compatibilty problems with the new version or want to reach out to us, please do so through the Discord: https://discord.gg/sbd3nWnAud

@MrFunEGUY Do you know that somewhat estabilished mods usually get updated and re-developed by a different author, right? Also, we are trading the updatability (which I just argued the community itself deals with, sometimes not even needed) for a less developed, immersive and fewer content and monetized version, which is imo a much bigger problem. To me it kinda doesn't sound like a good deal in most cases. Paradox is good for making mechanics, but the modding community is better at making content

Steal it ? The ideas from this mod come from historical account of the byzantine government form so I guess the mod author stole it from them as well if you want to look at it like that.

@Ogren, well I hope so. Then we won't need to rely on mod authors to keep it updated, and patches won't be needed for compatibility with other mods. Pls Paradox.

Is the mod supposed to block you from changing crown authority?

Paradox is gonna steal this mod and make a dlc for it, you just wait

why not senate appears?

If CK3 had the levy and legions system like Imperator, feudal kingdoms could have levies plus a royal army(MaA), while the Byzantines could have full legions, but not op. So that it costs more money, is much harder to replenish, is a limited amount of legions(restricted to 1 per regions for example) and that they are balanced so that while fewer, they punch above their weight, but if you a legion gets stack wiped, then its a massive blow to the empire, costing big amounts of gold to rebuild, experience gone, slow replenishment etc, setting your empire back a lot.

Also with a loyalty system to characters, except the capitol army which is loyal to the emperor always.

For those that want the Feudal Elective law, it's in the "01_title_succession_laws.txt" under the mod folder called "2331933105\common\laws" in the steam workshop folder. Under "#Default Feudal Elective", you can delete the line "has_government = RHOMAIOI_imperial_government". Since the text file contains two "has_government" lines, the law becomes invalid, as you would require two forms of government to use the law, which is impossible.

(I think there is on_action for startup after lobby)

I have suggestion on how you could fix the last issue you mentioned; maybe you could give player ability to choose "Imperial Autocracy Start" "trait" (that is later removed), in ruler designer, and use it as check for on_action that will give you this gov.

@minhdt.vietnam That already exists in some form in the Komnenian Restoration innovation

Can you add Roman Army Restoration Innovation into Roman culture? or something like that. Eliminate levi and boost man-at-arm to professionalize military forces. An empire with Roman culture, Roman religion, and armies of the ancient Roman empire.

I play this mod with DmD beta and atm all of the AI Byzantine themes and the emperor himself are subject to confederate partition succession law and weren't allowed to change to anything else. It wasn't like this before the update, even when I was playing with dozens of other mods.

MP does not work.

I have another mod running with The Eastern Roman Empire name instead of Byzantines, but retaining the "THE" in there, now its finally back :) Thanks!

thats understandable, ill just find another mod to use alongside this one for the localized names. :)

Received a bunch of requests to remove the localisations, so I decided to revert it back. I tend to use mods that change titles to their localized names, understood why people thought having 1 empire be localized was strange.

oh, it did. just curious as to why you'd do that? the local name for the empire makes the world just that more realistic. i for one hope it returns.

wait so its just called "byzantine empire" and "roman empire" now? :((

Also forgot to say in comments, but quick change to remove the localization, byz and rome are back to normal names

so whats the new update?

Id say the main thing to be nerfed is constantinople , its where the insane amounts of gold comes generally

Yeah, the Komnenian Restoration is essentially more of a nerf if anything to the byz, they should lose a large large large portion of the levies but instead get access to strong MAA for smaller numbers. Might change stuff around with that

I would suggest adding some mechanics or penalties to make the game harder as byzantines , because i just get dummy rich with a ultra professional army 30 years into the game and its just not intresting anymore

Yeah I would like Empire of the Romans more than having actual Greek name.. The rest of the game uses English names, so its weird having the Greek original name.

Other than that, great mod, just I wish arabs and turks would attack more relentlessly, and that Byz MaA isnt too OP after komnenian restoration.

@Conchodebar I have this mod installed but never thought about using it for that, thank you! And I will look at this seljuk invasion mod, seems interesting.

@earstel If you get the 'more game rules' mod you can disable vassal's ability to have external wars, that solved them spreading like crazy up the black sea cost for me. Additionally, get the seljuk invasion mod and put AI aggressiveness to very high and the muslims really become a problem.

Thank you for maintaining and improving this mod, I love it!

A question: would there be a way to limit the expansion of AI Byzantium? In my current game, for example, vassals have expanded around and north of the Black Sea, which is easy for them as their enemies are isolated, but doesn't make much sense as, while expanding north, they ignore their long-term rivals (such as the Arabs). I don't know if it is achievable in the scope of a mod.

And, it's absolutely not a bug (I even fixed it myself), but the "Byzantine" Empire was called Basileía tōn Rhōmaiōn (Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων = Empire of THE Romans), as the definite article is mandatory in Greek (be it Ancient, Medieval or Modern).

I subscribed and it doesn't work

I know :(. luckily with skillz i brought my kingdom to peace ;)

@lanypop that occurs with partition, its from the normal game

So now your mod was on facebook :D
Many thanks for the big update!

also, whats the succession all about? Why are kingdoms created when I die? After 2 generations, my kingdom was in ruins...
