Disappointed you didn't include Christianity mod, but we got some Orthodoxes not really important, but ok. I'd like to think about Hellenic and Old Hellenic (It makes even more sense, because iirc it was Eleusinian in Imperator and CK) being this world version of Catholic and Orthodox and Mithraism being first and foremost "Crusades" target (as they are warlike religion similar to how Islam was)

@@Pigraider268 Simply put they would not exist in most timelines as they were an incredibly rare and unlikely to happen event. Your view is deterministic, any timeline that starts in imperator means Christianity likely should not exist.

[@Pigraider268]

@@AbstractTraitorHero Maybe not these actual religions, but it would definietely be some sort of monotheistic religions. Islam, Judaism so in consequence Christianity also have semitic pagan origins. Monotheistic religions are much more organized than polytheistic or animist ones. They have clear hierarchy. Even comunal heresies of eraly christinitu were much more organized than pagan religions especially from northern Europe. Hellas or Egyptians were polytheist, but if you look at it closer every god has their own cult and hierarchy. It would be only a matter of time if that was replicated and in reality it wasn't that far of happening. Cult of Isis, Sarapeon, Sol Invictus and Mithraism were early organized religions/cults that may have ultimately evolve into monotheistic from henotheistic (ie 1 god is the most important other exist as insignificant, they may be even banned from worship, which can result in natural process of forgetting and turning them into elements of legends/myths) like it could have been with Atenism during the rule of Pharaoh Akhenaten. Many people tie it as some form of proto-judaism. Simply put people in Medieval Era needed some sort of universal religion, that can be taught and replicated in diferent locations from frozen lands of Scandinavia to the warm mediterranean isles. Without it we wouldn't have Medieval Era at all, so CK wouldn't be a good game to represent this period

[@AbstractTraitorHero]

@@Pigraider268 Honestly with the new religion system in ck3 and the like, the game is still capable of simulating a polytheistic Medival world as it is.

I just love to see culture and religion changes as time progresses. my most favorite part is seeing CK3 religions, you have Hellenic, probably reformed into the Eleusinian and also Hellenic itself in places? then you have old hellenic, then you have an evolution of Hellenic in the form of Sol Invictus or as its known as Mithraism in the Makedonico-Persian Empire. The Orthodox faith somehow in the north Russia. Its amazing just to look at it. Edit: i need to know, what mods are used if any? for religions and nations or what not?

[@GeneralPol]

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. The only mod I used for this video was Invictus for Imperator

[@DEFCONINFINITY]

EU4 did Persia dirty

[@GeneralPol]

It did, they where going so well....

[@wires-sl7gs]

I feel like you could do better with Stellaris, like give us an overview of the starting and ending governments(Ethics and Civics) of the countries from the Megacampaign, and maybe include significant factions from HOI4 via the lost colony Origin. Heck, you could just same the Stellaris nations after the factions, like if you did so here we could have the "League of Nations" and "Latin Bloc" instead of "Space Spain" and "Space Rome", though maybe a little creativity could be good, like renaming the League of Nations to "The Democratic League" or "League of X"(X being whatever you'd call their planet if their a lost colony" and the Latin Bloc to "The Latin Sphere" or "Latin Empire", though given the context of the Latin Bloc and how you made them a federation between the largest members, it makes enough sense to be space rome. Given the Machine Rebellion, I'd also would of liked to see the Status of Earth as well, and maybe a Start and end overview of the home planets/capitals of the converted nations would be good too. Going with the Lost Colony idea for other Major factions would also help with at least ONE of the converted nations to do with, which we at least saw Rome do better than many of the other ones, as well as maybe reducing the number of the AI, but that depends I guess.

[@GeneralPol]

would like to know what to do with the time gap between imperator and ck3. If you convert from the end date to the beginning everyone becomes 800 years old and quickly dies. If you keep playing the game becomes a slog because it doesnt have any post 20BC content.

[@GeneralPol]

The 'Timeline Extension for Invictus' mod helps a bit. Or you could always put the game in observer mode and leave it for a few hours (and hope the AI doesn't mess your Empire up too much!)

[@do0myk]

@@GeneralPol yea i did all of that but it works poorly (some TE events dont activate if you didnt start with the mod enabled and ai in the observer mode governed so great that my empire split in to 5 in 100 years). Currently trying the fallen eagle mod for ck3 with its earlier starting date, will see if i could manage to remain playing the game for 1000 years.

[@do0myk]

one big mistake that i think i did during conversion is enabled to transfer legions as special troops. Now all big nations have these 100k strong free armies and the power balance will probably not change.
