Last of the Hellenic

[Jaghave]

Once CK+ is able to jump to the newest (stable) patch are you planning on adding a few Hellenic rulers/country since it had some (very limited) influence during the new time period historically.

I would prefer not to have any Hellenics in 769 or 867 as they were not relevant.

 

[Giacomo1405]

it's possible that some provinces still had some sizeable minorities of hellenics... but surely they were not dominant enough to be represented as province primary...
do you know of any provinces which was mostly ruled by them? and adding only a couple of random charachters in some courts (without provinces to back them up) will only create confusion while adding nothing to the game...

we are good without Hellenics in the game...

Unless some sort of firm proof can be established that Hellenism was a primary religion in a given province at the time we won't be adding it in. Having it as an option/rare occurrence is enough

804 Hellenes of Laconia, Greece, resist the attempt of Tarasius, Patriarch of Constantinople, to convert them to Christianity.[105]

But not any majority in any province. Also, for gameplay reasons it would be bad to include them. CK2+ can't bughunt the last hundreds of a since long weak agonising dying faith. What is currently serves it purpose and is enough. For these kind of stuff, wikipedia isn't really a good source either and that article has a good name "decline of greaco-roman etc..." .

I can't seem to remember if you already inlcuded it, but couldn't you represent such minorities by province modifiers; increasing the unrest in a province a bit, giving it a chance for characters of that religion to appear, and, if it is ruled by a follower, a higher chance to turn to that faith

Edit: Of course, this modifier should be able do disappear over time, maybe giving it stages (large minority --> small minority --> *disappearance*)

That might be an idea worth thinking about at the very least, although then it should apply to all religions.

You could just have a province or two start with a Hellenic barony-tier character. That way there's something but it'll probably be gone after a generation.

That I meant. It would make converting a province much more organic and realistic than it is right now. As it is, religions get extinct much to easily

 

[Gurluas]

you can always add some courtiers instead of making a province the majority.
