So as I said in Argentina, I've been annoyed by the lack of major althist mods for EU4 so far, so I've decided to try my hand at creating one for myself. It'll also give me an excuse to actually play EU4. This mod will more than likely stay in planning/preliminary stages until Art of War gets released.
My idea is that this takes place in a world where Alexander the Great lived another decade or two, allowing him to consolidate his conquests into an empire - the Argean Empire - that remains stable for several centuries and become akin to OTL Rome, and ultimately slowly declines until it collapses about a millennium before 1444. My goal is to strike a nice balance between plausibility and fun (with plenty of fanservice) Here's what I have so far, with help from Cived, Reus, and NinjaCow:
-I'm going to selectively gently caress butterflies such that Christianity and Islam both still exist, mostly to make actually modding this significantly easier. However, they are both far removed from their OTL counterparts. Christianity moves east, to become the major religion of Persia and Central Asia. Islam, which is blocked by Christianity from spreading in that direction, instead moves west and into Southern and Western Europe.
-Different migrations. These include the Huns, Magyars, other Central Asian peoples, and maybe even some Slavs and a Germanic tribe or two, all migrating into China instead of Europe, and only southern China is Han Chinese anymore. Imight did throw in a Hellenized Chinese state just for Christos.
-Loads upon loads of pagans, including Hellenized Vikings (just for mech) and Norse Greeks.
-Vinland survives, and through trade and contact with the Norse, the Amerindians in the Mississippi watershed form flourishing civilizations.
Any suggestions or questions are appreciated, as I'll be the first to admit that this is quite an ambitious project. I'll try to get up some vague history and a country list as soon as possible.
Anyone who wants a fanservice country for themselves (such as the already existing Hellenic Sichuan, Scythia, or that Hellenized Norwegian country) are more than welcome to do so, as long as it makes sense.
