Hellenism?

[VivatRomae]

I've looked for mods, and all I've found out is that a CK2 save game with "The Old Gods" converted to EU4 can give you the ancient religions. But what about hellenism? Like the roman/greek gods or something. Is there any way to convert to this? If there is a mod I'll get it.

You need old gods start as them in ck2 and just hit export to eu4 and upside to them is that there is no hertic religion to them. Downside in ck2 its hard to expand without moding cbs so they can holy war and etc.

Hellenism is one of the religions from CK2 that only appears in the history files.
You can use the ruler designer to start with that religion, but the mechanics for it are extremely bare-bones.

So there is no legitimate way, CK2 converted or otherwise, to convert to hellenism?

[Kagemin]

Only way is to make a Hellenistic character with the ruler designer in CK2, spread that religion, and then export the save to EU4.

What about a concubine? I don't have the game but I'm pretty sure they let you convert if you have a different religion concubine. Also, is the ruler designer a DLC?

[Kagemin]

Yeah, it's a DLC for CK2. And the problem with the concubine is that there's no living character at any point of CK2 that's Hellenistic, if you don't make one.

So, if I want to restore the Roman Empire under Hellenism, I need to
A. Use Ruler designer to be hellenic
B. Convert provinces to hellenic
C. Control all roman empire territory
D. get a orthodox concubine
E. convert to orthodox
F. Form roman empire
G. get hellenistic concubine
H. Convert back to hellenism
I. Convert all provinces to hellenism
Is that correct?

[Kagemin]

I didn't play CK2 in a long time, but if you need to be Orthodox to reform the Roman Empire you'll have to convert twice, yes. Your ruler being Orthodox should be enough though, so no need to convert the provinces as well.
Concubines are a very complicated way of converting though, especially considering that Orthodox people can't have concubines.

Easiest way to convert is to have your heir be educated by someone of the religion you want. So if you're Hellenistic and have the territories you need have a random Orthodox courtier or vassal educate your heir, reform the Empire once he takes over, hope that your new Empire won't implode in civil war because your ruler has a different religion from everyone else, and then have your next character be educated Hellenistic again.

Edit: Since you can't play Ironman when using the ruler designer anyways you might as well use the console instead of double converting though.
