Byzantium Mod Now Available (Demo Only)

[Pellucid]

Guys, please try to remember that in Turkey, we would probably be arrested for making a mod like this, so it's understandable that someone from Turkey would have a similar opinion to that of his government. Statements like this:

Because you're gaming experiences and OPINIONS, for that matter, however wrongheaded I might think they are, are valid as the next

...simply aren't true as far as many Turkish people are concerned, so try to see it from his perspective before you guys all leap on him.

That's no excuse for Turks to attack others, just because they learn a falsified history and have no freedom to learn the truth.
This is a mod for a computer game, not an investigation into the history of Turkey.

I think we need to return discussion to the mod, and away from this entire situation.

What is the fictional history we assume for BYZ? A surviving core empire, and the splinter-realms Trebizond and Morea conquered at historical times?

I think some of the cores should be removed, since they expire normally after some years without wars fought. Byzantium should have no cores in Asia Minor left -- except possibly Trebizond. And in Europe, only Thrace, Morea, and Adrianople. Morea is obvious I think, and I think a core on Adrianople is justified if we assume that BYZ fought its last war against the Turk, and in this mod survived even if it did not reconquer any land.

The Turk should get a core on Thrace to make it more likely it will declare war. They did try to conquer the province multiple times and in reality sadly succeeded, after all.

Bah... The Byzintines were NOTHING.... Now the REAL Roman Empire... they rocked.... now go play my Roman Mod ;-) -- lol... jk....

In all seriousness... The Turks def should have a perma-core on Thrace....

The rebellion in 330 Trebizond is now missing its end date.
Add to \history\provinces\330 - Trebizond.txt the following as line 25:

1482.7.26 = { controller = TUR } # Jem escapes to Rhodes

By the way, because of renamed provinces there are now some duplicate files such as "144 - Janina.txt" and "144 - Epirus.txt". I don't know if and how this will influence the game, but the originals should be removed just in case.
Does anyone know if it is even necessary to change the filenames?

Ick. I hadn't thought about duplicate files. In the release I'm planning for the full game, which I'll hopefully have in my hands tomorrow, I'll take care to prevent that. And no, I don't think it's necessary to change the file names. I did to simplify accessing and modifying those files in the future. As to the Trebizond file, fixed, and the links in the top post updated with correct and latest.

Shouldn't be necessay to rename the files.
