Regnum Iudaeorum mod for Europa Universalis: Rome

REGNUM IUDAEORUM
A FANTASY MOD FOR EUROPA UNIVERSALIS: ROME
Current version: 0.5
May 13th, 2008

DOWNLOAD THE CURRENT BETA HERE.
BEAR IN MIND... that this is still a BETA. It is not yet intended to be played as a full game. Only download if you are willing to play test sessions to help get this mod ready for its official release.

ALSO, please remember to delete your current version of Regnum Iudaeorum before installing version 0.5!

Firstly, I would like to give credit to Vladislav. His idea of creating a nation of a lost Jewish tribe is what inspired this mod. His mod is A lost tribe of Jews. However, this is where the similarities stop. Our mods are quite different.

What is Regnum Iudaeorum?
Regnum Iudaeorum is a fantasy mod for EU:Rome (as the name implies). It is based on a "what if?" scenario. What if the lost ten tribes of Israel didn't disappear from history? Well, in Regnum Iudaeorum, they didn't. In the chaotic fall of the Assyrian and Babylonian Empires the Ten Tribes found their chance to escape the tyranny of the Eastern Empires once and for all. A Second Exodus took place, in which the people migrated north through the Caucasus and then west across the Stepppes and into Europe. After crossing a great body of water, they encountered a strange new land, a new Canaan for them to settle... Britannia.

Does this mod only focus on the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel?
No. While the Lost Ten Tribes (who in this mod now live in the Kingdom of Ephraim) are the main focus of the mod, other changes have been made as well, to make the game more immersive. A list of changes can be found further down in the "Features" section.

When will you release this as a playable mod?
The Beta has been released, and you can download the latest version of the Beta at the top of the page. We are still a ways from the final version, however.
