About norse & germanic religions and the HRE

[Stoltverd]

So my suggestion is simple...
PLEASE add the carolingian empire. Do it like CK2+ (AWESOME MOD btw, i don't play the game without it). It is SO anachronic that Charlemagne creates the HRE... It is BS... I learned a lot with CK but now... this is idiotic. And you claim that you hire a team that just read history books?
You have a HUGE fanbase... I would work for free to see this game in it's true epicness.
Why don't just ask the modders? They already did the work... Carolingian empire AND it's fall (kinda) and THEN the HRE... It's easy really...

Also in the mod and something I HATED when charlemagne came up was the fact that you fused germanic and norse religions... THEY ARE DIFFERENT. Maybe parallel but very very different... It's like saying that hellenic paganism is the same as roman paganism...
The modders DID THAT too...

Simple request to make the game more historically accurate and enjoyable.
Also please allow us to kill our children, have multiple parallel plots OR let the assassination button come back... just make it super expensive or something...

Have a good night

Carolingian Empire? Haha... You know that Charlemagne was crowned Roman Emperor and not Carolingian Emperor? The HRE is the closest title to this (especially since the HRE count Charlemagne for the regnal numbers). If you would read a history book you would know that Charlemagne was Roman Emperor and not Carolingian Emperor. Carolingian Empire is a modern term because it was the empire or the Carolingas (Carolingian dynasty). The Carolingian Empire would be more ahistorical then the HRE. The HRE has the same tradition then he Roman Empire recreated by Charlemagne. It was basically the same empire.

Eh... And ingame Roman and Hellenic paganism is the same thing... JUst like all Slavic paganisms are the same even if there were differents too. Don't spike about the different West African mythologies...
