Diversified Italian Cultures

Description
Diversified Italian Cultures is a project to create more unique cultures in Italy, especially for 1066 and later start dates.
Until modern times, there was no real concept of a unified Italian language and culture, though there was a sense of a shared Roman heritage. This mod changes the Italian peninsula so that regional Italian diversity is represented in terms of language groups, which more-or-less coincide with regional variation in traditions, cuisine, etc.

Current features:
- Removes Cisalpine and Italian cultures from map
- Adds 9 new cultures to the Latin group, resulting in 11 total
- 867 start date has Romanesque culture, a general post-Roman culture to mirror the Italian peninsula during Langobard rule.
- Updates character and dynasty histories so that landholders and major dynasties have proper culture
- Adds 3 ethnicities to give variation in appearance between Northern, Central, and Southern Italians.
- Add decision to restore Western Roman Empire to rival Constantinople!

Future plans:
- Events related to specific Italian regions/cultures

Compatibility: Changes to Latin cultures and Mediterranean ethnicities will cause compatibility issues.

Credit to MaskofKeter for many of the Royal Court update features.

True but if there's a decision to make the world recognise the Byzantine Empire as the Roman Empire, the same should be true with the HRE actually.
The HRE's claim to being the Roman Empire wasn't as fake as some people say it is. ERE destroyed Italian civilisation. The ancient senate in Rome disappeared during these events and Justinian made no attempt to preserve Roman institutions in Italy, likely because all that was left after the Gothic Wars & Justinian's plague was apocalyptic. The Goths themselves actually continued to preserve Roman civilisation in Italy as if Rome had never fallen (just a regime change). The Pope was left to pick up the pieces and rebuild Rome.
To add fuel to the fire, just before Charlemagne was crowned Roman Emperor by the Pope the Patriarchs had been involved in various controversies such as Iconoclastic practices and crowning a woman (who blinded her own son), Irene, as Emperor of the Romans, which wasn't seen as legitimate to the pope.

The Western Roman Empire decision is redundant, because historically the Holy Roman Empire was literally created as a successor to the Western Roman Empire. The title of Western Roman Emperor was never destroyed, it was just vacant, so in 800 the Pope Leo III crowned Charlemagne as literally Emperor of the Romans. In fact they didn't even call themselves "Holy Roman Empire" until the 13th century, they just called it the Roman Empire.

No it isn't

Is the mod compatible with culture expanded?

Nice, awesome.
I thought this was the mod that removed Romagna and made it something else with the Papal state its own thing, but I guess not. Still, I STILL, to this day, love this mod, thank you for making the WRE option.

Yep! It's scripted to split some time between 900 and 1000AD
MangoCobra Aug 8, 2022 @ 3:38pm 
Heya! Just curious if the Romanesque culture turns into other cultures over time?

Love the diversity that this mod brings.
Personally though, I went ahead and changed "Mediano" to "Umbrian".

Thanks! I can set up a way to share over private message.
