A question about the de jure map: Are you planning to incorporate Roman Dacia, Assyria and Mesopotamia into it? I mean, the Romans controlled Dacia for 164 years (107-271 AD), that should make it qualified. And even if the Romans only controlled Assyria for about 2 years, the title could be given to the Sassanids. All of Mesopotamia was a Roman province for less than 2 years but they also had a small province called Mesopotamia for 439 years (198-637 AD.) which would translate as the Roman titleholder only owns the northern part but can claim all of Mesopotamia, a reason to go to war with the Sassanids.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia_(Roman_province)

Roman Dacia would look like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Roman_province_of_Dacia_(106_-_271_AD).svg
Nice way to stimulate Romano-Persian wars.
 
And another thing, Germania Magna should be a kingdom inside the Empire of Germania instead of an Empire itself. Germania Magna should be everything between the Rhine and Elbe rivers, while the rest of Germania should fall under the kingdom of Germania Slavica. This would better represent Germania if the Romans wanna regain the province the idiot Varus lost.

Looted needs to be changed to last longer and do more damage, to accurately simulate the effects that raiding had on the Roman economy.
Also, does anyone know how to change static_modifiers for the "no levies until theme system" thing? Maybe something like AGOT's seasons system could be used, but I don't know how to apply the modifiers to the certain provinces and have it removed when the Theme System is established.

And even more things!:

Taurica should be a dejure kingdom that includes Crimea and the Russian western coast of the Sea of Azov (a part of what Empire?)
Colchis, Caucasian Iberia and Albania should be dejure kingdoms just north of Armenia (what Empire?)
Everything east of Germania and north of the Caucasus should be the two giant dejure kingdoms Sarmatia Europea and Sarmatia Asiatica, together they form the Monster-Empire Sarmatia
Caledonia and Hibernia should be dejure kingdoms:

These I think properly illustrates the satrapies/provinces of the Sassanids:

I have forgotten nothing! Belgica was once much larger than it originally wars.And Raetia and ect. was added to Pannonia for Gameplay reasons.

Second Constaniople? But why? It's not so important, compared to Chalcedon. I actually don't think any councils after Calchedon need to be in game, except IV Constantinople. Than of course, Ethiopian Coptic and Armenian Miaphysitism should be different, but I recall you already done that, and Georgians should be on the fence between Greeks and Armenians.
Does anyone have any idea what should it take to mend Chalcedon schism? Pentarchy thing doesn't work here, because by the time of the Schism Romans control all of it, which doesn't prevent Schism. Romans even control all of Armenia for some time, but that didn't help.

I'm not saying it is the only one, it is just the only one I have done so far.

I already have maps, and all roman lands will be redone according to Roman ways.

Thank you, and Germania Magna has never been an Empire,

Gameplay reasons? What are those? I still don´t get why Raetia and Noricum should be part of Pannonia. If anything, they should be a part of Italy. And Belgica, are we not following the latest versions of the provinces? It should be split into Germania Inferior, Superior and Belgica Prima and Secunda.

That makes some kingdoms incredibly small, so that the Tribal Kingdoms of Alamannia or the Franks can quickly make them and settle down. Splitting it into Prima, Secunda, Germania Inferior, Germania Superior would make too many tiny kingdoms

Also, I have a Sayyid like trait called Merovingian, which give +5 prestige for any descendant of Merovech. So currently, by this time there are a lot of Merovingians, and even the Hun is a descendant. So now claiming bloodline to Marovech is crucial for the nobility.
 
I love the map so far but I noticed a problem with the game in progress so far in that Arianism isn't really showing any signs of stopping. I mean, its entirely possible that Arianism could have taken a stronger hold on the west but it might not be something you want happening all that often.

In real life Arianism fell in Spain due to the campaigning of an orthodox emperor in Constantinople. I imagine this could either be simulated through Nicene being able to polysterize heresy rulers or through some events

I could edit the conversion task for the Court Chaplain and make Arianism conversion weaker like the un reformed pagans.

I see your point but I still think you could split away a unified Germania (comprising of both Inferior and Superior) form Belgica and a unified Raetia-Noricum from Pannonia, seems like a good compromise to me

THEN IT MUST BE REFORMABLE! What if you want to blaze across the Mediterranean with Arianism and its weak? REFORMABLE IT MUST BE!
 
Maybe also make it likely that a Barbaric ruler converts to the religion of his population (or to the religion of his capital if the other check isn't possible).

Only if he is a weak king, like is a poor commander, poor diplomat, poor scholar, poor spy, poor money-handler. The weaker traits, the more open to conversion and the other way around.

I don't think it needs to be done. Without Byzantine intervention in Western Europe Arianism has no reason to die out. And new barbarians would likely convert into the majority religion of the population anyway. I don't think Gundobad or some other barbarian king were into Christology very much.
Do you perchance know how Axum turned Arian. that's indeed a weird turn of events.

First: you can multi-quote, stop positing three posts in a row.

Second: no. Many strong kings converted because a) they could enforce it on their peoples b) they saw the value in converting. Often times converting to Christianity provided strength and stability by essentially opening up ideas like primogeniture, political boons, decreased holy wars against them, increased reasons to fight neighbors, trade, and improved relations. Conversion and religion are just as much a part of politics in this era as anything else.
 
Weren't there a couple of rather strong rulers that converted away from Arianism nonetheless?
AFAIK, barbarian kings turned to Arianism to show their independence from Byzantine emperors. Conversely, they would use Orthodoxy to solicit alliance with ERE. It was more opportunistic political thing.

Wait,What? How its 833?

Entirely true; for example Clovis converted because he knew that that would make him stronger in terms of the kingdoms that he had conquered. The only restriction for conversion should be for zealous people as in vanilla.

For the test game: those Huns seem incredibly powerful and stable! Maybe if you want to add more bloodlines you can take a look at those added by dorimi in his mod and those that are in Lux Invicta.
