1. Rename ''Byzantium'' into ''Rome''. The reason is simple, it's historicaly accurate. The nation under the name ''Byzantium'' never existed. More on that you can find in wiki here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hieronymus_Wolf . So is there any other argument to back this, well there is one. After the fall of WRE, ERE was all that remained. During the time of emperor Justinian and reconquest of Italy, he abolished the title of WRE so no one could claim that title. More over everyone from West to East refered to that state as being Roman. Roman state in the east addopted Greek language as official and Christianity as state religion. Nevertheless it was a Roman state, governed by Roman laws and emperor it had its own Senate in Constantinople.
2. Rename their National ideas into ''Roman'' so it can corespond to suggested changes. Note that this is simply a suggestion where i believe that will make the game more interesting.
3. Rename their cultural union from ''Byzantine'' into ''Hellenic''. Reason is based upon language that Romans and Greeks used, which is Greek. More over Romans and Greeks mixed them selves. So we had situation where Greeks addopted Roman tradition and so on and vice versa. Other reason is that in the case that Rome falls to Ottomans, which usualy happens, Greece can be formed by desicion or rebel revolt etc. So it would be quite reasonable to do this.
4. The desicion to ''Restore the Roman empire'' should be availeable to small number of nations. My suggestions are Theodoro, as it was once a Roman territory and vasal state and Trebizond.
5. The desicion to ''Restore the Pentarchy'' should be exclusive Roman as it was originally established by emperor Justinian if i'm not mistaken, so it's natural that this desicion be availeable only to them.
6. Change Basileus achievment. My suggestion is that this achievment be availeable to Rome, Theodoro and Trebizond if player manage to restore the borders of the Roman empire under emperor Justinian such is here : https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9b/Justinian555AD.png . In the case of Trebizond and Theodoro only if they restore the Roman empire.
7. Instead of usual Patriarchal slider which is shared by Orthodox countries why not make for Rome Unionist vs Antiunionist. The idea here is that this slider would grant certain effects. For example if player go full unionist it would have tech reduction cost and diplomatic relations,perhaps a chance to convert to Catholicism while Antiunionist whould grant player missionary maintanence reduction and missionary strengh.
8. More prestigius events and triumphant desicions. For example Alexandria reclaimed or Triumph for Egypt.
9. Change Trebizond to be elective monarchy since it was ever since it break up from Rome.
10. Give smaller mission trees for Trebizond and Theodoro that would encourage them to go for and ''Restore the Roman empire''. Its not like that they have a chance to survive but again i think it would be fun for them to have some small mission content.
11. Allow the Roman player to restore some lost cultures if they manage to get provinces there. My suggestion is that for example Roman culture be restored if player manage to take province in Italy or Coptic in the case of Egypt. Both Roman and Coptic would belong to Hellenic cultural group. Now again the reason for Romans to belong to Hellenic culture is because they mixed them selves with Greeks. Revival of Roman or Coptic should be done via Events where, for example, if playe gets Rome or Alexandria event would pop up and it would be to the player to spread those cultures to their respective regions.
12. Give Greece mission tree as well. After some time if all pretenders are gone and Roman state wasn't reformed all that remains is Greece. Now my suggestion regarding Greek missions is that it should focus on reclaimin Anatolia from Trebizond to Antioch. I think it would be fun for them to have some unique missions.
13. Requirements to restore the Roman empire should be lowerd by cities/provinces player need to control. my suggestion is Constantinople, Edirne, Thesalloniki, Athens, Nikomedia, Antioch and Trebizond. If you manage to control these you would be able to enact that desicion.
Edit :
14. Allow players to rename Areas as long as they control entire Area. For example when ever i play as ''Byzantium'' i like to challange faith and try to get back Anatolia. Now what becomes wierd is to see Greek and Latin names for cities/provinces while at the same time Turkish and Arabic names for Areas.
So what do you think? What are your suggestions?
