Greecemod: Not a Byzwank, Promise (EU4 althist mod creation/discussion thread)

If that's the case I think it's a good idea to figure out names right now.

Spoiler :

I believe France encapsulates countries 10-21, so I'll gather what's known about all of them so far here:
10. ??? (Muslim Breton merchant republic)
11. Armorica (Insular; possibly some Asterix refrences for good measure)
12. ??? (Quasayyad)
13. Lutetia (al-Utitya?) (Muslim theocratic order)
14. Pictavia (Biqtavya?) (Quasayyad)
15. Aquitania (al-Kitanya?) (Qusayyad)
16. ??? (Qusayyad)
17. Narbonensis (Qusayyad)
18. ??? (Breton/Muslim)
19. ??? (Breton/Muslim)
20. ??? (Breton/Muslim)
21. Massalia (Muslim pirate republic)

I believe it was determined that all of the Qusayyad states, 13, and 21 were Arab-Breton primary cultured, and the rest were just Breton.

If you want to change any of these, naturally feel free to go ahead and I endorse any such efforts if you ask me (this applies to everyone else working on specific regions as well). I can also find names for the rest if you want.

And so the map as it stands right now:

Spoiler :

Armenia-Georgia region has been redone by Bair to have uber-Georgia. A few other borders were shuffled around because of the fact that the country of Ecbatana, I discovered, did not in fact actually contain Ecbatana.

Taurimark, Pontus, and Syracuse have been finished. I think that completes the HRE, minus adding in who the electors are (I think there should be 5, 3 kingdoms and 2 republics) and changing a few city names and adding alliances and whatnot.

Also HRE states need ideas. I'll see what I can do on this front.

I think I'll start doing Mesopotamia next because that's a place I've been looking forward to doing.

Political:

Culture:

Spoiler :

To clarify. Tauric is a North Germanic culture of Norwegian settlers in the Crimean region; I pictured them mostly settling in fortified coastal towns that wouldn't be hit by peaceful migrations as much, hence their presence in Scythia, They are, nevertheless, Zoroastrian north of the coastal provinces. Anatolian will eventually fill Cappadocia until the border with the Armenian states. Roxolani is what Sarmatian was renamed into because megsy-chan doesn't like migrations apparently ;_;

Why is Siracusa names "Syrcause" [sic]?

 

[Civ'ed]

why are there two Egyptian culturegroups

 

[SouthernKing]

Why is Siracusa names "Syrcause" [sic]?

Localisation errors sure are fun, aren't they

why are there two Egyptian culturegroups

One is vanilla, one is ours. Has to do with it existing in two separate files due to different culture groups I think.

 

[SouthernKing]

Progress is being made!

Queen Megara I Eileithyia?

Spoiler :

Eileithyia means stupid in Greek.

 

[NinjaCow64]

Queen Megara I Eileithyia?

Spoiler :

Eileithyia means stupid in Greek.

waaaaaaaaaaat

 

[JohannaK]

And the transliteration is entirely accurate.

 

[Omega124]

It doesn't translate as stupid when I translate it. :\

 

[christos200]

waaaaaaaaaaat

No, really, it does. It is written as "ilithia", but the pronunciation in Greek is almost the same.

 

[SouthernKing]

xaxaxaxaxa

I'm not sure what to do about that, so it will stay that for now

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

 

[SouthernKing]

Ecbatana, Susa, Arbela, and Assyria are complete. Babylon is also in the game but has no provinces or decisions - it is the Babylonian culture union, obviously.

Spoiler :

(Pope's name may or may not be temporary)

 

[SouthernKing]

Spoiler :

Someone pls respond

 

[Civ'ed]

*standard response*
I promise I'm adding some good stuff to Africa soon*
*after St. Nick's done, definitely.

 

[SouthernKing]

Persia's weird shape is due to the fact that its eastern two vassals and some surrounding states have yet to be added.

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

and finally a Babylon that was formed completely legitimately

Spoiler :

well, the decision exists.

 

[SouthernKing]

Spoiler :

Well that's Persia and vassals done. Next job will be Organa (that country in the straits of Hormuz). And then probably Israel and Jordan. And then maybe India or Central Asia.

 

[SouthernKing]

Spoiler :

Religions are done.

There is, however, another problem.

Something in 1.9.x broke the game and my knowledge of what that is ois currently limited. So I've reverted back to 1.8.1. If you're going to work on the mod please also revert. It takes just a minute and it also takes just a minute to switch back if you're playing vanilla 1.9.x. In your steam library right-click on EU4 in the list, go to "properties," go to the "betas" tab, under "opt into beta" select the requisite one (1.8.1 in this case, and None if you're going back to current version)

 

[SouthernKing]

Haven't updated in a while, because no one is responding

But I'm going to be gone for a week so here's some of what's been done so far.

Scandinavia is done. This is all entirely Terran Emperor's doing, all hail Terran Emperor.

Spoiler :

Britain (Dal Raida's localisation has been fixed)

Spoiler :

All North Africa (save Egypt) is now done

Spoiler :

Most importantly, all the religions are in the game!

Spoiler :

After I get back I'll start into Asia, and I think we should be able to get this done by the end of January maybe.
