What is this mod about? Crusader Kings II: Pharaohs & Consuls is a total conversion mod in development for Crusader Kings II and it’s expansions. It is set in the mid 600s BC to the mid 400s AD. The scale of the mod is a total overhaul of Crusader Kings II world map to the time of Antiquity. The mod allows players to take control of well-known historical figures such as Pharaoh Psamtik I, Ashurbanipal, Cyrus the great, Alexander III, Gaius Julius Caesar. Many less well-known figures from the times of Antiquity such as Ardys, the king of Lydia, Teispes Achaemenid of Anshan, Prince Manasseh of the house of David etc are also fully playable and integrated into the world of Pharaohs & Consuls. The Ancient world is carefully and accurately populated by the famous and infamous men and women known to us through the great histories of ancient empires and kingdoms.
For now, here is an interesting screenshot in my game as a greek tyrant of Thebes about 12 years in, when I discovered that the one-time Lord of the City of Tyre had been forced to flee Phoenicia to a colony city called Tarchon in south-eastern Iberia after a rival nobleman deposed him from his one-time seat of power. Apparently he didn't maintain good ties with his Assyrian Lords even though he converted to Ashurism (This character in particular begins with a different faith so obviously felt the pressure to convert at some point)
