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.
The Europeans cultures are general group cultures that will split up and merge into other cultures the same way Norse, Frankish, Lombard, Anglo-Saxon, Pictish and other cultures change in the vanilla game.
