Ancient Religions

[dralasite]

I havent tested this with shattered balance, so there might be some weird results.

It's a bit late, but I've been playing my most recent game with Shattered Balance and this mod. The only thing I've seen is a Hellenic uprising in the Byzantine Empire, but that makes a lot of sense. I had to crush it since I'm the Byzantine Emperor, though. (Ironically, I intend to convert to Hellenic once I'm closer to forming Rome. But I'm guessing that's 125-150 years off, and I can't have the Hellenics causing problems that entire time.)

Also, unrelated, but... I'm assuming this mod will make the EU4 converter choke? I had planned on converting the game I just mentioned to EU4, but realized the extra religions from this will probably cause problems. Any ideas?

Make it choke like a baby on a quarter, but OrdepNM will maybe work on one once he is done with Viet.

Also; what forum is HNCO equality located on? My first thought was Monk's Equality and Balance on the Hypogeum, but I don't think that's even compatible with 1.111, and I can't find it on this forum.

Alas, I'm not sure where I got it, I think it was linked under a video I watched, I've not been able to find the mod again since then.

Thanks superskierpat and Necal, I've managed to get it working (I think) thanks to both your sage advice!

Any word yet on possible port to EU 4? :O

Bad ass mod man. Can't wait for more pagan religions, I've always wanted to overthrow the Franks and bring back the ways of Ancient Gaul and maybe recreate Pictland. But anyway, just some costructive criticism- I noticed that some of the titles go by "castle" or "vassal kingdom" or "province". I'm pretty sure those are incorrect in that they aren't titles. I would stick with "barony of" or "petty kingdom of" with the Gaels and Bretons. For the Romans... I believe the Roman equivalent of a Duke/Jarl was a Governor, a Legatus was simply a military leader. The Roman equivalent of a count was a magistrate, in case theres any confusion there. So when you're granting a title to someone, it should say "Magistrate of__".

I actually got the converter to work just fine with this mod, just needed to add a couple lines to the converter localisation files so that it recognized the new religions (hellenic is already included by default). It's pretty easy to identify what the necessary syntax is from looking at the other entries there already.

Those titles are the result of long negotiations xD

Basically the change of titles is a way to reflect that political and societal organisation would be different in these societies. A gaelic chief would not call himself a Baron, he would be a chief leading a clan or tribe. And kings actually did vassalize other kings in ireland, an independent gaelic duke is still called the King of a petty kingdom, but if he becomes a vassal he will be the king of a vassal kingdom.

Same thing for the hellenes, I wanted to reflect the more gubernatorial and military nature of their government, so the Legatus is a military leader in charge of a certain piece of land, while republican titles depicts the governors.

Could you actually get them to appear ingame?
Or where they just treated as the generic eu4 pagans?

Hmm.. how exactly did you do that? Could you copy your version of the files so I could overwrite mine? Maybe upload them somewhere? I am sure I am not the only person who wants to do this judging by the other comments in this thread. Lol.

Also I decided to play this mod even though I cannot convert to EU 4 yet.. but it crashes on startup while it loads the graphics.. or after it is done. It CTDs. No other mods active. I made sure to uncheck the converter.

Try re downloading and installing, if that doesnt work, tell me.

Sadly it still CTDs during/after loading graphics.

It works fine for me :S

Do other mods work?

You're going to have to be more precise

Great Mod!
I love the fact that finally somebody has adjusted the Hellenic religion.
Still have one question when are you going to add the other religions?

Well right now I'm working on finalising the celtic religion, which will be quite a major update, after I have a hellenic Overhaul planned and then its egyptian paganism. So while I dont have a date set, and I cant set one since I'm slowed down by the start of university, I'll do my best to get it out as soon as possible.

One more question, I've decided to play as Catholic, precisely Italian, so I could recieve the event to change my religion to Hellenic or to remain Catholic only I saw you must be unlanded, and I quite don't understand it, does it mean I need to give all my counties to some nobles and have only the primary title (like duke or king)?

Actually, a courtier gets the event, which then gives the various lords the choice to let him into their courts, and then you are supposed to get a decision to switch to Hellenic.

Yeah other mods work. For some reason I get a CTD.

Ok, thanks!

I really don't know whats the problem, I've just tried booting the mod on two different computers and they both worked. Maybe someone has advice to offer?
