Rise of Empires is a mod for Crusader Kings II. The mod starts at 1500 BC at the start of the Empires era and ends at 769 AD the earliest bookmark in CKII. For the earliest bookmark I used the holocene calendar year of 8500 (1500 BC) in game since the game engine can't go backwards and the AUC or the Gregorian calendars don't cover this time frame. The mod is currently WIP but I will try to post updates of progress, any suggestions or ideas are GREATLY appreciated.
These are the general European cultures in 1500 BC which will break down to different cultures at different dates the same way Norse culture breaks down into Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
My general plan is this :
1-Artenacian culture flips to Aquitanian between 1000-500 BC.
2-Atlantic provinces become Celtic, Central European provinces in western Europe also become Celtic, date still not decided until further research.
3-Central European rulers in South European provinces become Italic, some scripting will be done to ensure the invasion into southern Europe.
4-the Baltic culture breaks into Finno-Urgic cultures based on regions, still deciding on a date.
