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.
Middle Eastern religions are over simplified since there are too many of them.
They are basically :
1-Ancient Egyptian religion with a heresy (Atenism).
2-Canaanite religion.
3-Assyrian religion/Babylonian religion. (Both are the same one is the heresy of the other)
4-Puntic religion ( will spawn with Phoenicia )
5-Zoroastrian religion (spawns at game start with Zoroaster event until 500 BC)
6-Hurrian religion.
7-Hittite religion.
8-Berber religion (belongs to the Egyptian group)
I still haven't decided on special mechanics or events for these religions, but there will be special events and mechanics for every religion hopefully.
