Make Ethiopia a reformable tag

[reivaj89]

Hi.

-Given the political and symbolic power of the Ethiopian Empire as the sole major Christian nation in the Horn region, it would make sense if any Christian Cushitic tag holding the appropriate provinces was able to reform it if it ceased to exist. Essentially, this would work the same way the decisions for reforming France, Austria, England, etc. work now, including getting permanent claims in the Ethiopian areas not owned by the tag taking the decision.

-"Claim the Ethiopian Throne" or something like that (in other words, forming Ethiopia) could be part of a future mission tree for nations in the region.

-For immersion reasons, Somali and Afar culture nations could be blocked from making this decision even if they're Christian, given the historical rivalry between Ethiopians and Somalis. EDIT: Forgot about the Harari, they should be blocked from forming ETH too.

-Considering the fixed Empire rank that comes with the Ethiopia tag in game, reforming it would be a juicy prize for both players and the AI.

What do you guys think?

While Muslims should be blocked from forming Ethiopia, I think Jewish states (in this instance, Semien) should be allowed to form Ethiopia. I think there should be a formable for states such as Adal who successfully conquer Ethiopia (an act called the "Futuh al-Habash"). Perhaps the forming of Shewa could represent a Muslim Ethiopia, or a new tag called "Habash".

I agree completely with both of your suggestions. Using the already existing Shewa tag (which usually loses its cores early on) as a representation of a Muslim Ethiopia is a great idea.

What? Since when? Starting Ethiopia is empire rank, but where does the claim that there is a fixed rank for Ethiopia come from?

Only way to "fixed rank" is individual gov. reforms. So ETH havent fixed rank.

We cannot see non-imperial ETH, because game havent mechanism of "reduction rank". Sometimes this can have place by military vassalization. But if ETH have problems in game - will be conquest by muslim power and they prefer conquest of non-muslim nation in place vassalization.
