EU4 - Timelapse - Third Odyssey - Roman Colonization of America

[@themadpro]

Now *this* is Latin America

[@Thor.Jorgensen]

Except... The Byzantine weren't Latin? The Palaiologos dynasty rose to power when the Latin Empire fell, creating the Greek Byzantine Empire.

[@themadpro]

Thor Jørgensen true, true... But the joke is that the video is titled *Roman* Colonization. Was Byzantine Greek or Roman is *not* a mess I want to get involved in. Call it whatever you want imo.

[@Thor.Jorgensen]

The Byzantine were both Greek and Roman. The Byzantine Empire is also known as "The Eastern Roman Empire" Thus yes they are Roman, but not Latin.

[@doctorrespecc1644]

Thor Jørgensen it’s good to be knowledgeable about this stuff, but please don’t kill a joke with it. The comment was made for a few laughs, not to point a finger and say that it’s historically wrong. Don’t take me seriously, you do what you want on KZbin. Just know that doing it at the wrong places kills the mood the commentary intended to make. have a nice day

Could have been better I Don't think he realized that the Romans new about Greenland which technical is a part of North America but no use vikings which everyone knows they knew about America so he used it in a ROMAN AMERICA RUN... just a small thing that made me and almost certainly only me mad...

[@apparentlyjeremy]

newb mann The Vikings were imperial Byzantine guards for several centuries called the Varangian Guard so I think they gave the emperor information on this. What I did not understand though is how easily they took South America which was colonized by multiple European states. The Byzantines fled some years before Constantinople would have fallen, which means they only had a few primitive cannons. In terms of technology this is important because gunpowder quickly was improved upon and better cannons and firearms were made over the centuries in Europe

[@sik3xploit]

The writing of a story gave it an exciting feel I think. Dovska really managed to build himself some talent from all his experience I think.

[@Fyrebrand18]

I’m trying to imagine what society would look like in Spartakon and Elysium and among their neighbors. With the large amount of annexation and assimilation of and with the local native north and meso-americans, would their architecture remain predominantly Late Era Roman? Or would they adopt local architectural designs such as angular buildings and stepped pyramidal structures? Would their language sound predominantly greek or would it be a mish-mash of the various native languages and dialects? Most likely the diseases they brought with them would wreak havoc among the natives, but what changes would be seen among the survivors? Would Spartakon influence in Mexico see the Aztecs wearing steel armour and wielding steel weaponry? Or would they continue to use their native obsidian based armaments and cloth armour? So many questions that can lead to who knows what kind of outcome if you follow the time line. The introduction of greek fire in jungle warfare alone could lead to who knows how many kinds of outcomes?

[@heavysaber9431]

I'm itching to write a book about this, unfortunately it'd probably shit.

[@jimsirlantzis6507]

European colonizers kept their language and culture in our timeline, so I'm sure such strong Greco-Roman culture and greek language would remain unwithered.

[@rav9066]

Have you wa.tched CPG Grey's video on the plague of America? I think the fact that large dirty and urbanised cities that didn't exist in the Americas as well as the lack of Horses and other trade animals suddenly being introduced would certainly shift the dynamic

Such an interesting and wonderfully crafted story! Quick question though, why are there so many tribes in North america in this timelapse? As someone who frequently plays in the area, what adjustments did you use to make so many tribes present?

[@MNKY80808]

Dovska is using the Third Odyssey mod. The mod actually provides the story, letting the player chose from probably hundreds of different story choice throughout the playthrough, like whether they want to remain Christian or convert to paganism. The mod also changes the layout of provinces in the Americas, and adds quite a few more totemist nations and changes the way they work. For example, as Elysia begins having already embraced feudalism, feudalism will soon spread to neighbouring native tribes. This will change their tech group from North American to (and please excuse my spelling) Karakawa Oneka (translating to fire-water, or alcohol) to represent the cultural and technological diffusion between the Greek settlers and the native peoples. This is just one of dozens of changes the mod brings to the game.

[@manie.8241]

Very interesting, now I wanna play as those natives more than Elysia itself haha
