Wild Machines (An 'Ash, a Secret History' mod)

Setting:
What if, Jesus was a Roman Centurian who worshipped Mithras? The Visigoth attempt to invade the North African Vandal Kingdom succeeded? That the Pope hadn't been in office since the 10th Century, thanks to a Rabbinical Curse? That Men could perform Miracles? That the forces of Visigoth Carthage had a General who heard Voices that recited the Ars Tactica, the Strategikon and all the military manuals of the Ancient world to her at request? That she had Golems that could march 400 kilometers a day?
(more setting related reviews of the book(s))
The Plan:
Whilst the plot of the book is set in the time around 1477, this is too close to the game end-date.
So...
Adapted Old Gods start?
More details below I guess...
A little about me:
Hi, I'm Kaisermuffin, probably best known for my contributions to Darkest Hour (I'm working on an SF world conquest mod, did the German Union events for Kaiserreich, a number of other events and bugfixes and a couple of leftie-wank AARs). I also read books, including the one that this has inspired this mod. I remember asking about this back when I got CK I, even tried a kludge of editing in a German count to rule Tunis (so much destruction of unsuspecting AI arabs), though that wasn't really what I wanted. What I wanted was the full shebang of an alternate world .
Added:
New SubCulture 'Visigoth' (Iberian ( group renamed Hispanic)) (FAQ - But Visigoths are Swedes?!)
New SubCulture 'Suevi' (Hispanic)
New Religion 'Arian' (currently a Catholic Heresy - may be treated like a Pagan religion instead in the future dependant on flexibility/options)
Expanded Retinue Options for Visigoth culture.
Edited Job Titles.txt for 'Arian' (female spymasters and generals!)
Reworked Iberia/North African/South Italian province/history files to reflect Visigoth Culture/Arian Religion
Reworked Localisation of Provinces/Baronies/Counties/Duchies/Kingdoms in North Africa/Iberia (partial)
Added Imperium of Carthage
Added Lineage from Alaric I (370 AD) and Visigothic ruling dynasties
Added Suintila II+others to the bookmark
Edited:
Getting the mod to appear...- FIXED - Thanks to JourneyQuest!
Generic replace_paths - Thanks to richvh!
To Do:
Add Frankish Eugenics program events (steal Valyrian gfx? xD They got that blonde look in the books)
Sort out Suevi lineage
Sort out Carthage CoA
Fix dumb intrigue glitchvents
New event chains for the Visigoths, their neighbours, anyone who takes Tunis/Carthage...
New decisions for the Visigoths, expansion and development of Arian religion
Rework Catholicism
Miracle System?
Localisation (baronies/better names for Toledo and Badajoz?)
World Domination???
Current status:
Version 0.0.1.0(dropbox)
I'd like to emphasise this is barebones and probably shouldn't be considered working (yet!)
