Basileía ton Romaíon mod for Victoria 2: Heart of Darkness

Basileía ton Romaíon focuses on bringing ( ERE, Eastern Roman Empire, Byzantium or Byzantine Empire) into the world of Victoria. This Mod is far more reaching than just that though. I have created a completely unique World set up. The balance of power is nothing like what you would expect the historical Victorian age to resemble. Incorporating the best features, decisions and events from PDM and DOD I have continued to tweak and change nearly every aspect of the economy, immigration and internal management.

What if the Basileía ton Romaíon (Roman Empire in Medieval Greek) never ended in the east? always retaining Anatolia and Greece and slowly regaining limited control over the Balkans, Levant, Egypt and north eastern Africa?

What if the Romaíoi (Greek speaking eastern Romans) continued to influence the course of events throughout Europa, Asia, Africa and the New World?

Romaíoi settlers founded Elysium in the new world though as a consequence of being separated and often blockaded by the various Latin powers in control of the straits of Heracles Elysium has really gone it's own way. Finding similarities between the local deities and Hellenic Deities of the past the Elysians have mostly embraced the old Hellenic ways and integrated with the local natives really creating a very unique culture.

Basileía ton Romaíon starts with Greece and Anatolia. Georgia, Armenia, Romania, Taurcia and Africa are (Disloyal) Exarchate vassal governments.

Basileía ton Romaíon start off in the middle of a civil war against the breakaway nations of Serbia, Bulgaria, Dyrrhachium, Aegyptus and Damascus. During the Chaos of the Civil War Venice has taken complete control of Corfu, Crete and Cyprus and may make further claims against your remaining islands.

Can you end the civil war and restore the empire to greatness.

New cultures within the Basileía ton Romaíon

Varangians are the foreign born soldiers whom serve as the Emperors body guard and most elite military unit. Mostly Norse with some Rus and Saxons.

Anatolikós are the rural population of Anatolia. they tend to be very agrarian and reactionary and strive for more regional autonomy along with more power for the local land owning elites.

Afrikanós are a mix of Romaíoi descendants whom settled North Africa after it's second reconquest and integrated Berber peoples. The Afrikanós rule the Exarchate of Africa.

Pontikoí are the rugged local inhabitants of the Pontic Mountains in Northern Anatolia. They primarily speak Greek but do not fully embrace the Romaíoi heritage and culture.

Illyrians speak a Latin language heavily influenced by Greek and Slavic. Illyrians are descended from the native Balkan tribes and Roman Settlers pushed towards the coastal regions around the Adriatic they are mostly under the influence of Venice.

Latínoi are the Latin speaking residents mostly from the Italian merchant republics primarily living in major port cities.
