"HIP - Renascentia Romanorum" Submod

Before you scream read the Release Thread[forum.paradoxplaza.com]

• East and West slavic merged into one "Slavic" culture group
  
• The Pommeranian Slavs were degraded from Kings to Dukes
  
• Added a Horvatski and Sorbski culture with Proto-Slavic characteristics
  
• If no Horvat or Sorb rules over any Horvatian or Sorbian province inside Bohemia
  the provinces will turn Bohemian
  
• Slavs/Romanians have a slighly higher chance to convert Avar and Bolghar provinces
  if the religion is their own and there is a neighbouring province of their culture
  Same for Paeonians over Bulgarians

• Cultures/Religions marked with a yellow outline in the gifs
  
• Carpathian "Verecke" pass from Zemplén to Peremyshl and Halich
  
• Renamed "Vodica" to "Pset"
  
• Slight shape edit of Aquileia, Görz, Lika, Vodica, Vrbaš, Donji Kraji, Podrinje, Podgorje, Polimlje
  Marked in the picture with a blue layer
  
• HIP has 4 wrongly located baronies in this region, my mod adds +5 = 9
  Only HIP devs can fix this ultimately
  
• Syrmia is feudal while Bohemia and Moravia are Tribal in 867

• Great Moravia can conquer/annex Cracov
  
• If Great Moravia has no holder
  its de jure to the North and West of Moravia becomes de jure Bohemia
  If the Hungarian conquest already finished, Bohemia also gains Moravia,
  while Hungary gains everything in the South
  
• The Dacian Kingdom disappears after the Hungarian conquest
  
• Croatia can conquer/annex Slavonia followed by Syrmia after Dacia disappeared
  
• Poland can conquer/annex Silesia
  
• If Poland conquers Cracow or Sandomierz OR if Kiev conquers Belz or Galich,
  de jure Horvatija breaks apart in favor of Poland and Galicia-Volhynia.
  Also Sieradz and Leczyca go back to Cracov from Kujavia
  
• Kiev can conquer/annex Podlasie. If Horvatija broke apart Galicia can do it instead.
  
• Germany/HRE can conquer/annex Lauenburg and Brandenburg
  
• Germany/HRE can conquer/annex Lusatia after it conquered/annexed Meissen or Wittenberg,
  which also makes Mansfeld go back to Wittenberg from Thuringia

• Pliska is the capital in 867
  
• New "Pajonski" (Paeonian) south slavic culture, representing the pre-bulgarian population
  
• The nobility of Bulgaria is "Bolghar" in 867
  
• The Bolghar culture can spread only very slowly inside the Bulgarian Kingdom
  
• New maintenance free Bolghar "horde" composed of 1275 soldiers for the King
  which disbands with the next event
  
• Decision "Council of Preslav" appears, which fires an invitation for the lords of Bulgaria
  if Preslav and Ohrid are owned and the year is 893 or later
  Followed by the Council itself after 20 days
  1. Makes Preslav the capital
     
  2. Banishes Graeco-Roman lords out of the realm
     
  3. Makes Tengrist/Bolghar provinces Christian
     
  4. Makes the King, his court and Preslav Bulgarian,
     which will spread slowly over neighbouring Bolghar/Paeonian provinces and vassals
     if they are Christian
     
  5. The Bolghar/Paeonian vassals will support the Reformation
     but the Graeco-Roman Emperor will oppose it
     
  6. Tengrist players can choose to stay tengrist but get blinded and imprisoned
• Skopje, Ohrid and Tarnovo are capitals through history
  
• CoA and name change of Bulgaria to "Pajonija" if paeonians own it
  
• 15 new random paeonian dynasties representing the local slavic tribes/regions

• Hungarians will conquer the entire Kingdoms of
  Pannonia, Dacia and Great Moravia up to the Moravian Duchy
  
• Hungary will loose its invasion troops after the conquest
  
• All Provinces which got hungarian through history,
  will become hungarian/tengrist within the improved conquest
  
• Khavar culture appears within the Hungarian Conquest and turns Székely
  when the provinces take any Christianity

• Renamed the "Neretljani" pagans to "Neretvani", which are now playable as raiders/seafarers
  
• Croatians use South Slavic Gusar light cavalry

867: As soon as the Byzantine Empire is at peace, it will declare war on Croatia
to press the claim of the leader in Korčula over Croatia
After the war:

1. Force abdicating everything the Domagojević dynasty members hold
   to the leader of Korčula and banishing them
   
2. Croatia will be granted tributary independence
   
3. The Emperor has the choice to keep them as vassals instead

There are three ways to survive as the Domagojević's:
1. Win the war 2. Vassalize yourself 3. Found the croatian Kingdom
1010: Appearance of Bosnian culture/Bogomilist religion
if any neighbouring province is bosnian
and the religious authority of any local Christianity falls under 30%

867:

• White Croatia is tribal/pagan, got a titular "Horvati" title, the dynasty is called "Horvat"
  and the first heir "Ljudemisl" is renamed to "Laborec"
  
• The vassals of the Balaton Duke "Kocel" are now carantanian like in vanilla
  
• "Borubutze Višević" ruler of Chelmia is independent, croatian and his name is "Višeta Višević".
  His son Mihaljo is no longer playable in 936 because he died in 927
  
• The leaders of the "Bolohoveni" Romanians are slavic pagans until conversion
  
• The duke of Mačva in 867 rules Syrmia
  
• Switched the avar "Isbulid" tribe in Csongrád with the slavic tribe in Fejér
  and made them vassals of the bulgarian vassal Zalan

• Yassy is under the rule of the russian "Tivertsy" tribe

Later:

• Bodin Vojislavljević: orthodox -> catholic
  
• Euphrosyne of Kiev: birth from 1140 to 1145

• Added/Edited names of historical characters, random names and dynasties
  
• Better patronyms, prefixes and letters for south slavic cultures
  
• The "Slavianska Vera" faith is renamed to "Svetoslavstvo"
  
• The russian cultural name "Rusisku" is replaced with "♥♥♥♥♥"
  
• The pommeranian cultural name "Vendi" is replaced with "Pòmòrski"
  
• The Moravský/Karantánski/Arbëreshë cultures use their vanilla color codes
  
• Syrmia is in the Balkan geographical region

I am not here to denounce or delegitimize modern people, nations, religions or to propagate any kind of balkan-famous idiotism
