I need your help populating history of "The Commune of Rome" families:

Forum.paradoxplaza.com

Be sure of that! I'm working now to add the Italian Communes this means that "The Commune of Rome" will have a real Senate, proper Elections and a way to transition from a "Senatorial Republic" to a Principate and, in the end, an Autocratic Empire... rewriting history.
But he will have the Commune of Florence, Milan, Siena and so on...

There is a de jure set up change in Asia and in Scandinavia in project.
I cannot anticipate yet a new release date.

It old "The Commune of Rome" stuff it should happen if you tries to elevate crown authority, it tries to simulate the assassination of Caesar when he tried to do this in the real Roman Republic.

As I want to create a proper "Senatorial Republic" with a true Senate it is better to remove it for now... I suspect it is bugged too!

I have tested it and it works without problems.
Please give me a link to the save game in which the decision cannot be taken.

Thank you!

OK I've looked to the issue: the event to be called was commented so it was for this that nothing happened :-) !
So in the next version will work as intended.

I'm in doubt if give to the Ottoman Emperor the trait successor of ERE or not... this what they tough right?
The Ottomans feels themselves at the heirs of Rome and of the Caliphate togheter.

Probably the event to call has the wrong id! I feared this a lot... RIRSEI had event ID too big and this should give problems (it could overwrite vanilla events apparently) so I needed to change them all! It is possible that I did some errors in the long and annoying process.

Can you please say to me the name of the decision? So it is more simple to me to find it.
Thank you!

That is you have the title of Western Roman Emperor and of Eastern Roman Emperor but the game does not make create the Roman Empire to you?

However I have seen a possible bug in the events: you should not receive anymore pretender of WRE / ERE if WRE / ERE are restored you should instead receive the trait of Augustus (the same thing you get in vanilla when you restore the Roman Empire because restoring an half is sufficient to be the Emperor of the Romans). I don't see nothing strange in the decision to restore the Roman Empire the allow section is really easy to accomplish:

allow = {
prestige = 3000

has_landed_title = e_ere
has_landed_title = e_wre
}

so why the game doesn't permit to you to take the decision? I need to test it!

Thanks for the bug reports I'll try to resolve these for the next release.
Let me know if you known if you find anything else.

This a part that I have not tested yet, it was ported straight from RIRSEI.
Maybe you need to be of the Ottoman dynasty to make it work? However what do you mean as not working? Let me known the passes you do to reproduce the problem.

The Muslims "Empire(s) of God" (The Caliphate but also the Ottoman Empire / Kaiser i Rum) will be object of future versions of the mod.

I'm working in the East Roman Empire now and in these days I like to start to work in "The Conference of Peace" that will happen when the Pretender Successor State of ERE defeats the rightful successor state (usually Byzantium) that is the analogous of what happens in the West.

What I want to accomplish:

- Who wins the war seize the Duchy of Thrace and changes its capital
to Constantinople
- The Byzantine Emperor become Emperor of Nicaea and changes its
capital to the ononymous city [1]
- The winner of the Conference can choose two things: to annex
the vassals in the Kingdom of Greece or to make them vote to become
vassals of the Emperor in Constantinople or to the Emperor in
Nicaea or to become independent (this for example is what that
the Duke of Trebizond could try to do!)

And the point 3 is the problem: in the West I had the Kingdom of Italy / Lombardy that has de jure setup that mapped well with the HRE / Germania division but the Kingdom of Greece comprises a part of the Anatolian Peninsula and the island of Crete too! And these territories I'd like to become part of Nicaea or, at maximum, independent not part of the new Empire that seized Constantinople so what to do? How divide the Kingdom of Greece?

One possibility:

The term Greece is anti-historical so should not exist altogether the Kingdom of Greece is divided in this de jure Kingdoms:

- Thracia (Thrace and Adrianopolis) this the Imperial Demesne, not formable so if one wants to give the other Greeks Kingdoms to Viceroys he can without them desiring the Imperial Capital
- Thessalonika (Thessalonika, Agean Islands, Athens, Achea, maybe Epirus too?)
- Cyprus (could be created only by Catholic / Catholic heretic characters)
- The coast of Anatolia how I can call it? I've looked how the Romans called it but sadly this map (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e7/RomanEmpire_117.svg) does not makes me happy! It is divided in two provinces: "Bythinia & Pontus" and "Asia", Asia I'll discard as it would create confusion so what remains a Kingdom called "Bythinia & Pontus"? Or only "Bythinia"?

More compromise solution let exists Greece but make it small:

- The coast in Asia Minor is given to the Kingdom of Anatolia (a Kingdom that again never existed so what is the sense?)
- Cyprus become a new de jure Kingdom
- Thracia (Thrace and Adrianopolis) this the Imperial Demesne, not formable so if one wants to give the other Greeks Kingdoms to Viceroys he can without them desiring the Imperial Capital

Do you have other ideas / suggestions?
Thanks for your help!

OK it makes sense will be an event / decision to Ecumenical Patriarch to escape from Constantinople if it in the hands of the barbarians and refuge itself in another Empire level Orthodox realm if it exists. If this is "Kievan Rus" / "Russia" it enforces the fact that Russia is the "Third Rome" (will be a trait that will give initially only more prestige). I'm thinking if to form Russia a part for the conditions said above one should have more territory for example the High Kingdom that I have called Pojola (the North in Finnish) and / or a part of Tartaria (that is really too much big and IMHO should be divided in at least 2 if not 3 Empires).

Rzeczpospolita exists! Simply it is called with the English name "The Commonwealth"... You need to be the true King of Poland and Lithuania please notice that in "The Empires of God" Poland is not normally a Kingdom but an (High) Duchy as historically the head of state of Poland had not the right to be called King for a long part of the Middle Ages. There is special mechanic linked to the weakness of HRE to be crowned as proper king of Poland (this is derived from RIRSEI). It is to test if it works tough...
Regarding to Venedia there is a subtle difference with the historical Commonwealth, Venedia is the High Kingdom for all West Slavic characters (Old Prussians, Bohemian and / or Moravians, Polish and Lithuanians). If the HRE ceases to exists, for example as result of the Conference of Peace, Bohemia happily joins the Empire of Venedia.
There other special titular High Kingdoms in "The Empires of God":
- Great Bulgaria (for the Bulgarians in the Steppes)
- The North Sea Empire
- The Supreme Fylkirate (now that we have moddable governments I could think of it as a sort of equivalent of "Celestial Empire" for Germanic characters!)
- The Empire of Austria (this probably will be the exception that the rule confirms! Will be a true Empire because it is the successor of... the Holy Roman Empire. Probably not formable if HRE exists.)
- Outremer Empire for an ambitious King of Jerusalem that conquers the Levant (this again is the only Empire that has no pretension to Rome it can use the title of Empire because it is ruled by Jerusalem)

This should not happen could give me a link to the save game?
Thank you for your test!

P.S. The only thing I have noticed is that I had a bug on the copy of the succession law and in previous versions I forced it to primogeniture now it is commented so the only bug present should be that the succession reverts to "Open Elective"...

Yes GitHub f*cked my repository apparently taking the development versions of the .mod file. It has a different name in my directory so I don't know how it could do this.
Version 0.0.21 is coming, then...
(You should play editing the .mod file if you want).

The S.P.Q.R. should have the ability to form the W.R.E. it needs the titles of (High) Kingdom of Francia and Hispania too.
Or it is the S.P.Q.R. that cannot be formed? If it is so it can be formed only via decision by "The Commune of Rome" after it has obtained the title of "Roman Republic".
However I'm releasing the alpha 0.0.2 now so try with that if the issue is gone. If it is not please explain better what it is happening.

Thank you for your comment!
I'll sure continue my work, if you find bugs or have suggestions feel free to let me know.

For sure you need "Legacy of Rome" and "The Republic" DLC, maybe something of the "Old Gods" will be used in the future...

It could be done, why not? If it is the historical flag...

You have done wait you a lot but we hope now you are rewarded!
... and more will come, stay tuned!

Tonight, if I remember, I'll add other images to show you the Praetorians and Legio I Italia at work!

Well when we opened the post without any link nor mod images we had 3 pages in a day... so yes it is "Highly Acclaimed"!

Thanks for your support!

In the summary there's a sort of "tentative list" not all is present in the alpha released.
We hope to release a new version before August in which the Western Roman Empire is formable, and so will be the Legions and Pretorians. Between the posted images you could see some teaser...

For now not but we add this in the future!
Thanks for your support.
