While working on a personal mod, I came across a random insert in the coding. To my knowledge, Paradox prefers the official names of DLC in game files, so what is this Zeus DLC?

Codename for Conclave DLC

Indeed, if you look at your event folder, you'll see that whereas most of the DLC-event files have prefixes like wol or soa (e.g. cm_charlemagne_story_events.txt has the story events for Charlemagne in the Charlemagne DLC), the conclave event files all have names like ze_council_events_steward.txt.

I assume either they finalized the name fairly late or this is a consistent policy change going forward? Note that Reaper's Due has the prefix "rip" for its events, which is appropriate but also doesn't quite match up with the DLC title.

Likely that you know this, or that with some thought you could have connected the dots yourself, but it's no coincidence that deus and Zeus look so similar.

1. The different name before relise is common practice of CKII team. AFAIR it was as such to prevent people who search the steam database for new content. I think even TOG have different names in there before the official announcement.

2. Deus is latinised form of Zeus.

2. Deus is latinised form of Zeus.

They both have the same root but deus is not a latinisation of Zeus.
