Funny new worlds

[ffff]

The thing that bothers me the most is that the high american nations with Inti, Mayan, or Nahuatl religion don't have any of the reforms for the religion nor can they get them which admittedly is just a minor grip but I feel like they should start with them or be able to get them then reform the religion without a western neighbor.

Even worse are the reformed Tribals; 250% extra tech cost and none of those -100% cost reforms.

Yeah that's why I said of varying credibility from vikings (yeah, we're pretty sure that's true), to the knights templar (suure buddy.)

Well, it's not entirely unreasonable that some Templars ended up in the New World after they began being persecuted. Some had major connections to the Norse, especially certain Scottish noble families with Templar links, and the main countries the Templars fled to, were Portugal (where they remained as the Knights of Christ) and Scotland (where they lurked around before vanishing from record). Not to mention the fleet that vanished from La Rochelle, likely with the Templar treasury that also vanished just before Phillip IV's men did their stuff the next day. Not to go down a Dan Brown route, mind you.

Knight's Templar in America plotting revenge for several hundred years against the french and catholic church sounds like tons of fun to be honest.

I thought the Knights Templar and Vinland had Flags already in Eu4 though. Random COA dont really do them much justice.

Are the Knights Templar always Tengri? If so, why?

Are the Knights Templar always Tengri? If so, why?

Yes.

They were converted by Genghis Khan in 500 AD when the Knights, led by Alexander the Great, tried to invade Inner Mongolia.

Okay, that makes sense, thanks for explaining.

Cult of Baphomet

 

[dragoon9105]

They Worship Bahamut the demon that the Catholic church accused them of worshipping as an excuse to seize their land in france. Apparently Demon Worship=Tengri.

Would have been a real treat if they had an actual Satanic religion added, could throw it into Ck2 for the Demonspawn Easter Egg too.

I shall call this continent "New North America"!

 

[zeredek]

At tech 17, this is the only province England can colonize
This lonely province, surrounded by provinces that are too far away to colonize

 

[Em Ay Ef]

Just found the amazing province of iolosuag
Also, the remains of Attaboi tribe i found earlier:

Spoiler: Click me!

Cymmeria! looking for Thule now...

 

[Em Ay Ef]

also, this obviously needs a Westeros tile.

As far as I know it is pretty certain that the Vikings reached North America. What is uncertain is which part Vinland refers too. (Though I think some remains were found in New Foundland recently.)

Indeed there is evidence supporting the claims that vikings landed on new foundland around 1000 AD. Remains off Viking boats where found and Carbon dated. Also Some scientists made a Viking boat replica and took the Norway - Iceland - Vinland route and they did arrive in one piece. . Now what is not really know is how far the vikings spread out, how long they stayed, and what happened to them eventually..

How would having contacts with the Norse mean anything? They weren't going to Vinland anymore by then.

I have had that one too.

As far as I know all attempts to make a colony in Vinland were destroyed by the natives. Though they did continue making trips there from Greenland for timber. Though those timber trips stopped at much before the Greenland colony disappeared in the first half of the 1400s.

Seen that quite a few times

 

[PMLF]

does anyone know what this Yingzhoa chinese nation is about? Are they suppose to the bits of Zhang He's treasure fleet that reached the New World or something?

Probably related to the Mount Penglai legend.

But the name 'zhengheian' can also be generated instead of 'yingzhou'.

 

[Xiahou Mao]

I found a province called Urapaversales...

 

[Roadie]

What I really wish is that RNW had a toggle between "fantasy-historical" (e.g. Chinese/Norse nations, different but normal continents, etc), and "fantasy-ahistorical" ("Columbus was right" Indian nations, Bones of the Leviathan, etc).

Mirror New World would be an interesting scenario. (Does everyone in it have an evil goatee?)

I'd love to see somebody make this. Mods can apparently add RNW options, so I bet it'd be possible to make a single giant tile that replicates as much of Europe/Africa/Asia that will fit...

There should really be a version of this that spawns the Knight Templars on that cross-shaped island, with a special Secret Pope modifier on the capital province.

 

[atestarossa]

I forgot to take a picture, but I found a "reformed" country called "knights of st. Joseph" - Mormon ideas...
