Nice! Can't wait.
It was initially supposed to be serious but the game conspired against me and it became hilarious.

Ok answers:
Amanai - Berber version of Amun. Also infused with Alexander related elements, as Alexandros is seen as Amun made flesh by Berbers. It's got its own military aspects attached that way.
Abeed ash-Shams - yes it's different it unites all the Solar cults into one. Ash-Shams is the solar variation that has a female sun god and the female aspects of the sun are emphasized.
Theomachian is a very complex and strange one. It's manichaeism taking in a large dose of Hellenism, and Mithraism via its great success within the military (which was mithraic and got mithraic elements in it that way) turning to the idea that the world is the battleground of the Gods and that all life is part of the Battle between the Gods. Although there's a reason why i put it where it is now on the map, it's rather misplaced a bit and I need to redo its location.:O
Porphyryan - another complex one -> see Porphyrius of Tyre, the neoplatonic philosopher as founder but not quite. It's originally neoplatonic. It emphasizes science, logic, reason, not harming other living beings (is vegetarian on that account). It believes the universe was the result of accident.
Sowilo is the Germanic variation of Sol, it's not in atm because the whole Germanic setup is sort of a rush job atm - to be addressed. It's not put under sol proper because being a rush job i thought that way it can benefit from the warrior cult without having to do extra coding in buildings file.
- The Tengri stuff - Tengri is rather dominant yet. In the case of Mani-Tengriism, it's grassroots from the bottom up so the people are responsible. Rod Tengri is the result of direct ruler conversion. Tengri-Buddhism is clerical.
- Tunaraz - God of Thunder, Thor
- Voipel' is a Komi god. He is the god of the cold north wind. (like Hellenic Boreas - the Devouring One) He is also god of the night. He is worshipped in great midnight ceremonies during winter and is expected to Devour the World.
-Zalmoxianism is the main element of Christo-zalmoxian and Apogenesianism. It's basicaly Zalmoxianism bringing in elements from christianity in first case and manichaeism in the later. The first is a result of christian missionaries originaly trying to convert the population and only succeeding in slowly introducing christian elements in their beliefs. Although there's a couple Dacian rulers in my mind that actually tried to establish it as state religion in order to have better relations with the Christians. Apogenesianism is the result of mani missionary activity introducing manichaeist elements, and the mani neighbours of dacia bringing in their influence on popular faiths.

Cool thanks! I forgot to ask about Mastiman? (no province)
And would you agree that Zalmoxianism, mainstream as well as syncretical, has a Martial soul?
Yes Zalmoxianism is alongside Mithraism one of my great militaristic faiths. Read the Blood of Decebalus trait the King of Dacia has to understand it better.
Mastiman - is the berber version of Jupiter, it's also my particular version trending towards monotheism for the berbers - like the Allfather for germanics or Jupiter Optimus Maximus for the graeco-romans.

I am thinking of bringing back in the main Julio-Argead line (I'm not talking about the line in Neapolis although thereotically that is the senior line if you read the timeline - but the continued imperial line of the east) this next update. I was thinking of waiting on that till I implemented Aasmul's map and thus had more provinces to play with, but given it might be a bit till he finishes it,(I will implement it then most likely so I do it all in one go) I will most likely bring them back this next update.
Yes, and I keep my promises. Huns will be implemented in either the next update or the one after, depending on RL time for putting them in, but they are 100% coming in. I'll also give them a vassalized mercenary like the other flavorized factions choke full of horse archers so you can wtfpwn your enemies better with them
They're going to start small but have the potential to form their creatable Empire because of sheer military might.EDIT: I also think I'll have them worship Ahriman and I might give the Ahrimanists an unexpected Boost.
more on that later.
The titular Hunnic empire could cover the Daunube and eastern germany to the crimea.
So the Constantinids of England are decedents of Constantine II? And was Constantine I the Constantine from our RL time? Sorry I was reading the timeline and got confused, its incredible though
Keep up the excellent work
Keep up the excellent work
Yes, I want to make it HARD to form given Huns are going to be a bit OP military wise. It's probably going to require you to be King of the Huns and hold 5 different places directly starting from the East and ending in maybe Chalons as a tribute to Atilla. It's going to be VERY hard to make it to Chalons
But it should feel like an achievement given you've got OP horse archers to help you out.
The Constantinids in England are descendants of Constantine the Roman Emperor and founder of Constantinople via his Britannian line of Constantines (you know the ones enamored with Sarmatian sword sacrifices), you get to read of their exploits in the timeline.
(they are also Artorian on the maternal line).
The relevant beginning of their dynastic line:
315 CE: Alexandros VII continues his policies of splitting Christianity into many sects. Various Christian sects are given encouragement. Arian and Solar Christian missionaries are funded by the state. Constantine I marries his young son Constantine to the Artorian princess Axara and makes him hereditary governor of the new military province of Dumnonia, in order to weaken Artorian hold on Britannia. New Sarmatian settlements created in Britain.

Then my question is who are the Konstantinians in Tebrizbond?
That's another line of descent from Constantine (founder of Constantinople) - keep in mind there are several co-Emperors descending from him -relevant part:
407 CE: Alexandros IX continues his reorganization of the Eastern borders of the Empire. He appoints the Constantian Alexandros Constans as king of Trapezunt, in order to avoid appointing him as co-emperor. The kingdom of Trapezunt is reorganized into a great military defensive region of the Empire. A Gothic military province is established on the Eastern borders as well.
Ok to further clear this up: lines of descent here: (not the British ones):
338 CE: Alexandros VII accepts the sons of Constantine, Crispus, now styled Constantine II, Constantius II and Constans as co-Emperors. He proclaims it to be their bussiness to deal with their rebellious brother. Shapur II attacks the Roman East.

Both the main Julio-Argead line (the Alexandros XXXXXs) and the Juliani are Sun Emperors throughout history.
If you meant wether I'm taking the Julians out of Constantinople though - no. The Emperor in 1066 remains the Julian one. I'm adding a Julio-Argead elsewhere. If only a system of co-Emperors could be coded. Altough I guess you could have a King title as junior Emperor vassal hmmmmmmm.

Great (especially the empire, i just love empires in this game, to have only two in release version of vanilla was an outrage). And ahriman worship in what version, Manichean or Zoroastrian? Or maybe some new weird thing, like Tengri-Ahriman
Also, im very relieved there will be Mongols. Could you make it a little earlier to introduce Genghis Khan himself (maybe he didn't bother with Helleno-Chinese and go to the west from 1206)?
I tested Celtic Impire, now it works great (nice CoA btw.) - only thing now is kick those obnoxious Saxons back to the sea (better late then never
), and then perhaps little visit to Rome to make them regret Julius Caesar's curiosity and castrate current Augustus in place of Alexandros II...
