Alexander had a council of galatian druids during his campaigns, this is esoteric knowledge

I am surprised people are still debating about the historical accuracy of this 8 year old mod i made as a teenager :/

@Eanred No.they were ethnic Greeks,much like many of the Isaurian family came to be at some point. The diffrence is,Macedonians always were Greeks,the Isaurians had a mixed origin and then were Hellinized
Eanred 14 Jul, 2021 @ 6:25am 
Arguably Alexander has more incommon with the isaurian barbarians then he did with the noble greeks, being the the macedonian's were actually greek larpers and not infact ethnic greeks.

I have a feeling the fourth rome dude is probably some sort of nationalist from seeing his comment in the Yugo mod. =) wow

Yet the Persian chronicles pg 49, chapter 3 clearly state that Sultan Al-Abasim was in fact, a berber.
Ricky 13 May, 2021 @ 11:20am 
Sultan Al-abasim is direct descendant of Alexander
Diddles  [author] 13 May, 2021 @ 6:12am 
Its more like saying Julius Caesar was a Gaul
Consort 13 May, 2021 @ 1:10am 
Alexander was Greek not turkish that is like saying Mansa Musa was Berber.
Ricky 9 May, 2021 @ 10:14am 
Turkey #1 :goldensmile:
Diddles  [author] 9 May, 2021 @ 10:08am 
You can make up random sources all you like, but it won't change a basic fact that Alexander the Great was a member of the Greek peoples, and not a member of a peoples who have nothing to do with him and did not even know what civilisation was at that point in time. I don't know why a guy from the UK is talking like some Chinese apologist to promote Turkish nationalism, but it was certainly interesting.
Ricky 9 May, 2021 @ 9:04am 
persian chronicles pg 49, chapter 3: "Alexander, he who was born of turkic blood, commanded the foolish greeks and gave them civilization"

turkey greatest empire in 2021 :steamthumbsup:
Diddles  [author] 8 May, 2021 @ 6:06am 
Sorry to blow your bubble but Alexander the Great was not a Turk :Crowned:

Oof I can't get this working. Can you provide a list of places that need to be owned first?
tsukiouji 20 Mar, 2019 @ 3:20pm 
Wow, that dude's a dumbass.... Anyway, neat, this way people can actually have the ambition to form it for a discount, not just creating it custom with Charlemagne, so thanks! Was actually thinking of starting a shattered world and doing making this my kingdom
Diddles  [author] 5 Mar, 2019 @ 8:53am 
1-Why do you think it was called North Macedonia. It's because Greece has a region called Macedonia right below it , incidentally where Alexander the Great's Kingdom of Macedon( This mod) was located.

2-You do understand that defunct and petty 'empires' don't get to determine whether a country is 'legal' or not. A country becomes legitimate by gaining international recognition.

3- The BBC's shady business with Hope not hate does not invalidate everything they say.

4-Patronising would be a better word than impudent .
The Fourth Rome 5 Mar, 2019 @ 3:55am 
BBC is Fake news, Feb 25 2019 Tommy Robinson a figure of free speech and a idol for the nationalist people of Britain posted a video. Exposing BBC Reporters, who breached BBC Guidelines which makes them a even more unreliable source.

Edit: Diddles I found that you deleted that BBC and Wikipedia was a reliable source. Sorry to march on your impudence.
The Fourth Rome 5 Mar, 2019 @ 3:55am 
Okay this has been months ago perhaps a year ago. I don't really care, this is only a SLIGHT REMARK . The links i linked is the best sources according to Diddles the author of this small mod on Crusader King's workshop.

Macedonia is not real, considering it changed it name to North Macedonia and has transformed its whole entity basically to a Albanian typical state. Macedonia also got guaranteed independence from Yugoslavia which does not exist today.

{LINK REMOVED}

Also another remark, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Croatia and North Macedonia are not legalised countries but states of the empire of Serbia excluding Croatia which was under Austrian-Hungarian control which was by definition a state of the Empire.

Looks cool, I wish this was in game already....
Diddles  [author] 15 Jan, 2019 @ 8:45am 
*sighs* Here we go...

-Read the rest of the paragraph to understand what i meant. Not here to hold your hand.

-"In fact" is a phrase not specifically related to the word fact, just a contradictory connective.

-Your right, assumptions are not facts, thats why its an assumption, like the basis of your entire argument has no proof , basis or support from anybody other than yourself. The difference between our assumptions is that mine is more likely to be right than yours. That was a fact, evidenced by the lack of evidence on your behalf.

If you feel the need to embarass yourself further, feel free, i rather enjoy this :)
The Fourth Rome 15 Jan, 2019 @ 1:33am 
"you will probabaly find that we are in fact more reliable in assumption"

probabaly is probably also i find funny is that "fact more reliable in assumption" Like seriously. What do you mean that facts are reliable in assumption or facts are assumably more reliable.

The defintion of fact is "A fact is a thing that is known to be consistent with objective reality and can be proven to be true with evidence."

You cannot just assume that fact is reliable by just assuming it.
What the difference between fact and assumption:
"An assumption is a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof."

{LINK REMOVED}

A assumption is a opinion without stating facts....
Diddles  [author] 14 Jan, 2019 @ 10:55pm 
No point trying to be serious when nobody can even understand your poor english.
The Fourth Rome 14 Jan, 2019 @ 6:26pm 
Once you step to personal level, you cannot get out without facing the consequences Diddles.
Diddles  [author] 14 Jan, 2019 @ 9:40am 
I can barely understand you at this point, but if you are saying we are invalid because we don't live as near Macedon as you do, you will probabaly find that we are in fact more reliable in assumption that you are to biased to accept that your neighbouring country shares name with Alexander the Great's kingdom.
The Fourth Rome 13 Jan, 2019 @ 11:59pm 
Also discovering you are in different parts of the world, have no real opinion in this.
Especially dick.
The Fourth Rome 13 Jan, 2019 @ 11:57pm 
See no comeback soo.. you insult me. Intellect of a f***king goldfish

The Fourth Rome You're retarded.:steamsalty::steamsalty::steamsalty:
This argument is invalid.:steamsalty:
I imagine English ain't your first language:steamsalty:
its currently unreadable.
Ricky 13 Jan, 2019 @ 1:39am 
@The Fourth Rome You're retarded :diplomacy:
Drewked 12 Jan, 2019 @ 12:58pm 
This argument is invalid. It's literally like he's fighting against the fact that fire is hot?
Diddles  [author] 10 Jan, 2019 @ 4:20pm 
I imagine English ain't your first language but can you re-word your point, its currently unreadable.
The Fourth Rome 10 Jan, 2019 @ 3:44pm 
Well, sorry to also disappoint you but Alexander is a many-sided hero by using your BBC History source, i also found that quote on quote "Alexander inherited a powerful yet volatile kingdom. He quickly dealt with his enemies at home and reasserted Macedonian power" didn't appear to my vision.

This is the website i again assume you got your information from because your not helping on the matter here by not even typing a website address. http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/greeks/alexander_the_great_01.shtml
The Fourth Rome 10 Jan, 2019 @ 3:33pm 
Can a opinion contradict a fact? You read this and look for youself
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/naked-truth/201706/your-right-opinion-does-not-make-your-opinion-valid

Especially read the third paragraph
Drewked 10 Jan, 2019 @ 11:32am 
Well said Diddles.
Diddles  [author] 10 Jan, 2019 @ 9:55am 
Well, sorry to disappoint you but your opinion contradicts the one source you used. First paragraph clearly states -

"Alexander the Great was an ancient Macedonian ruler and one of history’s greatest military minds who—as King of Macedonia"

BBC history - "Alexander inherited a powerful yet volatile kingdom. He quickly dealt with his enemies at home and reasserted Macedonian power"

Ancient History Encyclopedia - "During the twenty-four years of his reign as King of Macedonia"

I could go on but the point is, Alexander inherited a kingdom known as Macedon in the region known as Macedonia. While Wikipedia is frowned upon for the reasons given, its core information ( while vague as times) is still correct to a degree, as somebody would likely change it if it was seen to be wrong.
The Fourth Rome 9 Jan, 2019 @ 7:53pm 
Im assuming you both, got your information from this website:
{LINK REMOVED}

But anyone can login and edit information out from wikipedia. According to this website {LINK REMOVED}
anyone can edit information on wikipedia.

So Drewked to answer your question of how im getting information. I'll show you the website {LINK REMOVED}

Alexander was born in Pellas, Macedonia. Which at the time, is a region on the northern part of the Greek peninsula. but you still can't call macedonia a titular title, especially a kingdom. Macedonia as a region then to be called a kingdom. It is outrageous but my opinion is that a region of any geographical country, cannot be called a kingdom within a De jure kingdom. Especially a 𝘾𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙩𝙮

This is my opinion along with information from websites introducing my point. Post more if you disagree :)
Drewked 5 Jan, 2019 @ 8:52am 
Yes, he was the King of Macedon.. Where has this guy been getting his information lol?
Diddles  [author] 4 Jan, 2019 @ 4:35pm 
No, i am sure he began as King of Macedon, not Greece
The Fourth Rome 4 Jan, 2019 @ 4:19pm 
Your mod is not historically accurate
Create Greece inorder to recreate Alexanders empire
Diddles  [author] 29 Dec, 2018 @ 2:36pm 
Must of been Holy Fury
Drewked 29 Dec, 2018 @ 2:15pm 
Sadly, this does not work anymore...
Diddles  [author] 20 Nov, 2018 @ 8:57am 
Don't see why it should not, just a basic titular title. I doubt they changed the original province names so while it may of moved slightly, it should still be fine.
zlatky 20 Nov, 2018 @ 8:46am 
Is this updated for 3.0 m8? [P.S.: It WAS working with #HIP on 2.8.3.3, btw!]
Diddles  [author] 17 Jul, 2016 @ 2:33pm 
I didnt make it for HIP, but you can always try.
zlatky 17 Jul, 2016 @ 1:52pm 
Is this mod HIP-compatible?
