What if the ROMAN EMPIRE existed in 1444 in EU4?

1444 but nations start with no heirs. It would be fun to see the succession wars

[@gurkmeja1235]

I think there might be to many events that gives heirs for too much to change

Byzantium meanwhile:

[@lodewijkbakker3246]

I mean byzantium exists, those people literally viewed themselves as roman and a continuation as the roman empire. Byzantium is a name that was made up for it after it collapsed.

[@heliogonzalezsanchez8227]

​​@@lodewijkbakker3246not really, it was a western name created for them, but it was not liked by the byzantines because that wasn't their real name, and often the term Byzantine was just a mock

[@lodewijkbakker3246]

@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227 If you look under the nomenclature entry on the wikipedia page you will see the first use referring to the "byzantine" empire occured after the fall of constantinople: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_Empire the source of the citation is pretty substantial as well: The Invention of Byzantium in Early Modern Europe. Harvard University Press.

[@LarsSteenbreker]

​@@heliogonzalezsanchez8227The name Byzantium was created by the Germans because they called themselves the Holy Roman Empire so that they would be the 'real' Rome.

If anyone is interested I have a mod specifically about the rust and fall of empires, called Fall of the Empire, and an Extended Timeline version, with auto annex during civil wars, caused because rebels turn into tags/nations. When the event fires, you can also choose to play as the rebels, so you could theoretically play as multiple different empires in one play through.

[@erkinturhan]

Yeah, there is no such nation as Byzantium, that was the name of the Constantinople. The name was literally Eastern Roman Empire. Some historians after 18th century speculated that name.

[@RhombonianKnight]

Honestly, I'm kinda glad that the Romans spread their glory into Africa, the Middle East, and India. It's beautiful. Also, imagine if they had the cracked mission tree of Byzantium.

should do one if these where both byzantium and rome are buffed up in some way and see how they expand together and if they end up fighting one another or working together somehow

[@TheMoosePad]

I think an interesting idea would be to see which nations would be more successful if they started out with a certain idea group. Like Milan starting out with full quantity or England starting out with full trade or Bizantium starting out with full religious. might not see anything too crazy but it would be interesting to see.

I had a custom mod like this before. A quite small Roman Empire with only 4-5 provinces near Rome, about the size of Florence. Save went pretty good. However, the Commonwealth was so strong that they stretched from Berlin to Urals, from Finland to Toros mountains. We divided the Balkans by the Danube river, Northern half owned by the Commonwealth, Southern half owned by me. Everything is going smoothly, Commonwealth standing around with more than a million manpower *deployed*, me standing around with over a million manpower deployed. I decide to go to war with Revolutionary Portugal, who owns Western and parts of South Africa, with too many forts. Hundreds of thousands die of attrition, emptying my reserves, starting to hit on my armies. And right during this war, succession war comes up. Brandenburg and Commonwealth against me. I take the chance, go on with the war. That war saw atleast 4 or 5 million men die on both sides, both combat and attrition. Took over years, massive sieges, battles, losses and victories. It's still the most destructive and largest scale war I've seen in EU4.

Super confused by that 'Black and Tans' statement. 'Black & Tans' refer to the colors of the uniform used by British soldiers that suppressed the Irish independence movement and was also used to refer to the soldiers, themselves. It has nothing to do with the Zulu, the Zulu Wars, or the color of their skin (if that's what you were implying).
