Thank you for featuring our mod! It's really great seeing how the mod has come together over the years through the efforts of a lot of developers, researchers, artists, musicians, and more who are quite passionate about the lesser known but consequential and fascinating period in history that is Late Antiquity. There's a lot of random little details some of our devs/researchers put in I'm sure only a handful of people in the world would get lol. For those interested in other areas with a lot of flavor besides Rome, Persia, and Britain which were the main highlights in the video, I would also recommend looking into India (especially northern India as it has its own struggle), Illyria in 476 (Julius Nepos flavor), the Slavs and their migrations, the steppes particularly the Rouran in 395 or the Gokturks in 532, and anywhere in the Silk Road and Tarim Basin especially the Eastern Chinese part of the map in 395. And, as the creator of RICE, I also can't go without advertising RICE since it's 100% compatible with TFE so you can also tack on RICE for additional flavor for a lot of regions.
