RIP to one of my favorite mods. You will be missed

Solo mod for sol invictus religion possible?

Update Soon?

Alright so as of right now the mod does not allow an initializing of the game after the recent update to EU4 and I am not entirely sure what is causing it, so until I can figure it out or if someone can maybe help pinpoint it for me, it may take some time to get an update out for this.

Will do

Alright ImNotGoodAtMakingNames, I believe I fixed the issue by removing the institution file from the mod, not sure why it was happening but let me know if you still encounter it if you are still playing it.

Just checked and sadly it is still there

Also ImNotGoodAtMakingNames, check to see if it is an issue caused by other mods as well.

I will have to look into that since I have yet to encounter that issue. I will try to get an update out as soon as possible but it may be a bit due to school.

Really like the mod but whenever i go to the colonialism institution my game freezes and crashes, do you know what causes this and if it can be fixed?

Maybe in the distant future, but I am still somewhat new at modding so it may take me a bit before I can make a version supporting that.

Beyond Typhus

I bet its something super simple and I just haven't heard it yet but what do you mean BT version?

mod is very interesting any plans on making a BT Version

Alright to anyone interested, there is definite validity to the argument in which Islam might not exist given the decline of Christianity in this world I created, but I like the way this mod is at right now, so I will do that religion overhaul in a copy of this mod that way both can exist and be playable.

amazing mod

im not sure of the historical accuracy of this, but like instead of a protestant reformation in base game you can have a catholic resurgence based around the levant. So we can see how the empire will react to a stronger christian presence and maybe have some christian formable.

The rest of Arabia, however, should be an amalgamation of different religions and Arabia itself should have high tolerance of heathens (Arabian pagans, Christians and Jews lived in relative peace throughout the pre-Islamic period).

I think you need to answer two questions:

Firstly, would Muhammad or a Muhammad-like have existed with the waning influence of Christianity?
Secondly, would Muhammad's influence have been as well received as it was in our time-line?

I feel like you've already answered the second question by making Persia Zoroastrian as opposed to Muslim - therefore, we can assume that Islam's influence was, if not completely inconsequential, at the very least incredibly minimal.

From here, we can answer the first question. If Islam's influence was minimal, then a Muhammad-like figure, may have existed, but was not as historically relevant as in our time-line. You could model his weak influence by having a Muslim minority in Ethiopia (since some Muslims escaped to there) and Medina can be a Muslim province. Medina should be Shia, the other Sunni.

In the Discord we were having that same discussion. I personally felt that Islam probably wouldn't happen if Christianity's influence fell, so I originally had Manicheaism in its place but I didn't like that either (it was in the Arabia before Islam took off in OTL). So I kept Islam mostly to act as a cultural and theological adversary to the Sol world but I cannot say with 100% certainty that Islam wouldn't exist either, but if so likely in a different form.

I am considering doing a religion overhaul of that area, it might not for a while, but if you or anyone else reads this, should another religion, like Manicheaism or something new altogether, replace Islam, should Arabia remain Pagan and the Mediterranean being completely Sol Invictus, or should there be a heresy of Sol Invictus of some kind instead, or something entirely different? I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on this subject not only to improve this mod but to just debate on that topic.

Considering Islam was an offshoot of Christianity and that the pre-Islamic Arabs were pagans; wouldn't it make sense, since Christianity's influence was waning, for Islam to not have taken off? Egypt should be Coptic? Or maybe some other, more established and pagan religion. Parts of the Levant should be Jewish, parts of Iraq should be Zoroastrian, Jewish and some forms of Arabian paganism.

It seems incredibly weird that Islam would be this influential considering Muhammad's influencers were largely Christians/Jews; neither of which would theoritically exist in this timeline.

Yeah that is not a bad idea, this is the link if anyone is interested:

I think it wouldnt be a bad idea to set up a discord server for this mod, if you plan on expanding it.

Transcalibur: Thanks for playing and the compliment! I definitely agree with you, and if the year wasn't so intrinsically tied to the game files I would had this setting a bit earlier to account for the Mongols staying alive, but to me at least its fun having them in game world.

Taking a look at the world map for the first time and I notice that China, India and the Moluccas are completely unchanged. In a timeline where the Mongols still survive and thrive, this would seriously impact China *and* the Indian subcontinent. The Moluccas may remain semi the same, however, there was partial Chinese involvement, and a change in regime in China would result in Geopolitics in the mod.

However, I like your world building so far, so I will play on! Good luck in developing this mod more!

Okay, if I have time today I can definitely clean the map up a bit

TBF Mongolia has it the worst, but here and there are random provinces that just stick out and make no sense.

There are a few areas where I could see some clean up happening but which areas are you thinking as the worst offenders?

I think you should do some border adjustments to fix the lil bor

Pagans kicking Islam's ass? Based and Redpilled love this mod

You should rework the cultures so roman and egyptian aren't in the same culture group because that's very OP, also you should change Phoenician to something like "african latin"

good
