As I Jew, I was ecstatic to see all the improvements created by the Sons of Abraham. Founding Israel, rebuilding the Temple, and the reformation of the Zealots (who I promptly gave Masada) all were extremely gratifying, so I would like to start out with firm praise for the CKII Development Team for their excellent work on the DLC.
However, there were some thoughts I had on some minor tweaks that would majorly improve the DLC in my eyes. First, simply the addition of a "Kohan" trait, that would be passed down patrilineally, and would be required in order for someone to be a Kohen Gadol (similar to the traits involved with Caliph). The second would be the addition of a Herem mechanic, which would function exactly like Excommunication, except for being for Jews and by the Kohen Gadol. The final thought is the addition of a Sanhedrin Gadol, which in game could simply function like a CoC for the Kohen Gadol, with the replacement of the "Cardinal" title being "Nasi."
Since all of these mechanics are in the game, if someone is willing to point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to try and make a mod for it myself, though I would think it'd still be possible to add in a patch rather easily(ish maybe) due to the copy, paste, edit nature of all these proposals. While they all aren't exactly representative of their real-world equivalent, I think the CKII team has done a good job of translating the complex nature of many cultural and religious institutions (i.e. the Catholic Church) into the game, and think this is in the same spirit.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the matter?
