Pre-Byzantium Romans (Empire Divided)

Description
Pre-Byzantium Romans for Empire and Divided DLC
Play a possible "pre-byzantine" late-roman faction, powerful, unstoppable, and rule the Mediterranean!
► Video presentation of most units here ◄
► Legionnary Cataphractaries in action: click to see the video ◄

If you like the mod, a little +1 wont hurt (and would make me happy :D )


IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is not meant to be a balanced mod: the whole mod is almost a cheat.
Expect no challenge. You'll lead a very powerful faction, with godly units
(assuming you make it to level 4 barracks)
The goal here is to have fun and/or turtle for 1000 turns. Enjoy!

Designed to be played as the Romans with the Empire Divided DLC for pure fun,
easy and relaxing campaign even on higher difficulty settings.

Keep in mind that you'll fight most of the time other Romans, who benefit from these bonuses aswell!
You have cheap units right from the start, but the real 'godly' units for your faction will come with Level 4 Barracks.

Hayntini, I know its difficult for you but we latins have invented a thing called "jurisprudence".
Accordingly to this new science, people born in a specific area can have access to a series of benefits bounded to what we call "citizenship".
Sometimes in past, people that was conquered by foreign powers was granted citizenship to... like, in this example, the Greeks with ROMAN citizenship.
Now, returning to the topic, Greeks ethnic group but Roman by the law.
It was the same for Hispanics, North Africans, Egyptians, French, Italians etc. All Romans.
Its more clear to you? Because... I am Roman. This is something MY people created through time.Understood?

I didnt insult you, why did you insult me? What I said is right. I didnt judge, I just said how things were. We cant rewrite history.
Read what is written here on the coin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medal_of_John_VIII_Palaeologus#/media/File:Pisanello,_medaglia_di_giovanni_paleologo,_I_esemplare_del_bargello.JPG
It's written Ρωμαιων and not Ελληνων we do agree? :)

Just cuz they larped as Romans that doesnt mean they are not Greeks, the placement of the mod is horribly wrong and you are trying to teach me MY OWN history. Thats like saying USSR wasnt Russian it was Kazakhstani lol.

Your iq is seriously low. Go back to asia as a Slav.

Please dont bring Greek nationalism here. Their "ethnicity" is irrelevant, and even if naturally there were more Greek in the empire at the end, their roots remain Roman. And they refered to themselves as Romans till the last day.
On coins of the Palaiologos period it's written "autokrator twn romaion" not "autokrator twn ellinwn" ;)
George Ehrmantraut Sep 19, 2022 @ 1:02am 
and you cant tell me ''hope it help'' since i know my history even tho the emperors had Greek names itself and Palaiogos himself said ''We are descedants of Romans and Greeks''....inbred slavs
George Ehrmantraut Sep 19, 2022 @ 1:01am 
Bruh, their ethnicity was Greek their identity Roman capital of Constantinople comes from Greek name Constantine which used to be Byzantium which was ancient Greek colony at the time and name Byzantium itself was Greek, do i have to teach u slavs history ?

@Champi0n "Byzantines" never existed. It's a word created druring the XIXth century.
They were Romans, or the Eastern Roman Empire.
Most of them were "Greek" especially during the last centuries as the empire was smaller, concentrated around Greece.
But they were Romans, as a state, even if they spoke Greek.
Autokratoria ton Romaion (in Greek) stands for "Kingdom/Empire of the Romans"
Hope it help :)

i thought byzantines were greek lol why romans have them
