When I played as The Roman/Byz Empire with different mods, I noticed that I feel left out of Europe in the middle part (1500s) of the game. Except for knocking around Venice and watching Austria very closely, I feel that I’m missing an important part of the game. I mean the Protestant reformation was a very significant event in the history of Europe.
I think that some attention should be given to which country in Europe the Roman/Byz Empire is going to align herself with (if any). The R/B Empire would be a major power if she were successful against the OE. Maybe not a first tier country but definitely on a second tier level. Granted the Latin countries wind up hating the Empire by the time she's picked up her cores but wasn’t France allied with protestant countries as a counter balance against Spain & Austria? Heck, I think the French even were friendly to the OE during the 1600s. Since a successful Roman/Byz Empire takes the place of the OE, her main enemy in Europe is Austria. So that would put the R/B Empire in France's camp. Maybe an event where if the R/B Empire wanted to be involved in Europe she would receive a + 350 to relations with France. Make it a D choice in case (doubtful) the R/B Empire AI lives.
There is a need for events, which simulates the R/B Empire interaction with Europe, and it’s politics. Otherwise the R/B Empire player just plods along, picking up provinces while keeping her BBs down. I never went past 1650 because there’s not much to do by then. I can buy good relations with coin but it’s not the same. Some events which would involve the R/B Empire in Europe would be welcome.
I'm not sure about how the Hungarian Inheritance works in MJK but the R/B Empire should at least be involved with that. Also the interaction between the Papal states and the R/B Empire, Russia as the third Rome and the relations between Orthodox and Protestantism (sp).
Just so thoughts. I can (poorly) try to script some events if anyone has any ideas.
