Patch Notes
Changelog:
- Made it more expensive to revoke city state elective succession laws. Revoking them successfully will cause the city state to become tyrannical. A tyrannical city state that gets an elective succession law will automatically transition to the proper government type.
- Fixed assassination plots not completing despite reaching the progress threshold.
- Fixed several anachronistic events referencing historical events that have not yet occurred at 275 BC.
- Fixed non-city state realms still getting corruption modifiers after changing government.
- Fixed bookmark characters growing a beard after they died.
- Fixed ruler designed characters getting the incorrect government. Instead, they now get to pick their own governments upon starting a new game.
- Adjusted the benefits for the Athenian acropolis: it now gives less extra tax income, but more prestige.
- Adjusted the corruption effects of a few events.
Localization changes for translators:
- Added localization strings to ATHA_government_events_l_english.yml for events ATHA_government.0009 and ATHA_government.0010.
- Added localization strings studied_the_battle_of_megiddo, studied_the_battle_of_kadesh and studied_the_sack_of_nineveh to ATHA_modifiers_l_english.
- Added localization file historical_commander_trait_events_l_english.yml.
- Added localization file learning_scholarship_events_l_english.yml.
- Added localization file martial_strategy_events_l_english.yml.
- Added localization file ATHA_game_start_events_l_english.yml.
![features.png]()
- A detailed custom-made map that reflects the subtleties of politics, culture and religion in 275 BC. Playable rulers range from kings to tyrants to philosophers, and we have scoured inscriptions and literary sources to ensure that most of our rulers, all the way down to the county level, are historically attested individuals.
- A number of new governments, belonging to three broad categories: City-State, Coalition and Bureaucratic. Vassal contracts have been expanded with additional privileges and obligations, including the ability for rulers to impose certain governments on their vassals.
- Unique corruption mechanics for City-States - nepotism, bribery and other questionable acts will now impact the city’s level of corruption modifier, and corrupt rulers may scheme to entice others.
- Decisions for enterprising rulers to restore Sparta’s glory days and form the kingdom of Bithynia.
- Heaps of new art assets - no more medieval crowns or shields, and plenty of period-appropriate emblems for our titles and dynasties!
![whats next]()
We have ambitious plans to continue developing Apotheosis as Crusader Kings 3 matures:
- The mod currently takes place in a rather small part of the world, namely the Aegean and its surroundings. In time, we plan to gradually cover not only the former empire of Alexander the Great, but also western Europe, northern Africa and India.
- As the mod progresses, we want our cultures and faiths to feel more unique in order to better represent the diversity of the Hellenistic world. Part of this will involve adding more flavor events, for example the Olympic Games, as well as decisions, faith tenets and doctrines.
- The mod adds many new governments to represent the political institutions of the Hellenistic world. In due course, we want to create new mechanics for our governments to make each a distinct experience.
The Apotheosis soundtrack uses songs composed and performed by Michael Levy with authentically recreated instruments.

The Apotheosis team is looking for enthusiastic individuals to join our team and help us deliver our goal of providing an immersive experience of the Hellenistic world. We’re especially keen to bring on 2d and 3d artists to make our mod more visually authentic, as well as coders and writers who can craft flavourful events and mechanics.
We also have a Discord, which is the place to go if you have any suggestions or feedback for us! It’s also where we post all our latest teasers and development diaries.
Thank you for your support!
