Heresy Expansion mod strives to give a more satisfying experience to playing heresies in Crusader Kings 2. Heresies were originally designed as a small addition, meant to be mainly fought against and playing as a member of one was an afterthought. However, many players sought to find a better, closer to truth, representation of these real world beliefs. This mod attempts to do this by giving unique features and heads-of-religion to religions classified as heresies in CK2, as well as ability to "reform" them into major players on the European scale. Featured as well will also be new, speculative heresies for reformed pagans. Screenshot given is an early work-in-progress. More up-to-date screenshots will be added later.

Post news Report RSS A new version coming, and translators needed

Soon, a new version of the mod will be uploaded. As more localisations are coming, we will soon need to translate the names of decisions and events.

This is a small news item, mostly to let everyone know the work on the mod is slowly progressing.

The new version should include a working version of Iconoclastic and Manichean reformations. Manichean can be treated as a preview of how most heresies will take over their parent religions - in the first step, you establish a formal priesthood, and in the second you push out the parent religion from its holy sites, to establish yourself as the dominant religion, relegating the former parent to a heresy. Iconoclastic decision is one of the more unique ones - in it, a Byzantine Emperor uses his power and influence to embrace this old Greek belief and establish it as the new norm, even evicting the iconolatric* patriarch out of Constantinople.

In other news, we will probably soon need translators. I regret to say I don't fluently speak either of the languages featured as standard options in Crusader Kings II. If you can speak Spanish, German or French and want to translate the text strings, please contact us.

* Iconolatry is the term used by Iconoclasts to refer to the opposing view. We will look into changing the names of those two religions upon reformation.
