Did the vanilla game not have Cyrenaica joining Macedonia if the latter became sufficiently powerful?


Oh well, if you say it cannot be done, it cannot be done...


I've had a strange idea, playing with bi.exe... Religion?

I don't know if there's a max limit of different religions allowed by the game, but creating a sort of "political religion" or ideology for each faction in the game, with character traits (eg. "Roman", "Ptolemaic", "Pontic", "Macedon" ect.) and buildings (factional temples or government types) spreading "political influence" in bordering enemy provinces, causing unrest & revolts if not managed properly... The same things of vanilla BI, briefly...

It would be possible to "convert" Massilian greeks in a "gens togata", leaving some spies, diplomats, generals with a high conversion value trait for some years in their province...


But it would be a very long & hard work to do...
