DESCRIPTION
Simple Imperator: Rome Timeline Extender — version 1.2

!! REQUIRES V2.0.4 ANNIVERSARY MAINTENANCE PATCH (OPEN BETA)

! NOT compatible with Invictus: for Invictus versions 1.5+ please use the Timeline Extension for Invictus instead

—> Must be enabled when you start a new game for saints and barbarian events to work (if you enable the mod after starting a game some files won't work properly because they are loaded on a new game setup)

This mod was made to be a lightweight but fun add-on for players who want to continue their Imperator campaigns through late antiquity with historical events, witnessing the spread of Christianity, devastating plagues, and the early migration era with barbarian hordes. There are a number of basic aims for this mod:

Continue the Imperator campaign until 1229 AUC / 476 CE, the historical end of the western Roman Empire
Experience the spread of Christianity from its origins in Jerusalem to the edges of the ancient world
Add the Antonine and Cyprian plagues to the timeline for historical interest and extra challenges for players
Simulate the migration era and the invasion of the Huns with events
Provide a bridge to Crusader Kings III for players on a megacampaign using the fan-made Paradox Game Converter, Imperator: Rome → Crusader Kings III converter ☧
Build a workable mod with content that could be integrated and compatible with other more complex mods 7. Develop content and ideas to share with other timeline extension mods, such as the I:R to CK3 Timeline Extension
Features:

An event starts the spread of Christianity from Jerusalem around 784–786 AUC
Christianity gradually spreads farther as the timeline progresses
Decision available for players to convert to Christianity around 854 AUC, with fully playable pantheons made up of historical saints; AI can convert around 954 AUC and later; AI Rome should almost always convert by 1133 AUC / 380 CE
Being the first to invoke a Christian saint can reveal historical characters and give relics to players depending on their region and culture
Roman players can experience a similar vision to Constantine in an event that happens about 1065 AUC / 312 CE
Players that want to prevent the growth of Christianity in their country can destroy Christian communities and churches that appear in their provinces through events
Antonine Plague starts to spread around 918 AUC and lasts until at least 933 AUC, killing pops, lowering manpower and taxes significantly
Cyprian Plague starts to spread around 1002 AUC until around 1015 AUC, and is more damaging to pops and provincial output
Manichaeism starts in Mesopotamia around 1030 AUC in Ctesiphon, about the time and place that Mani died; it spreads to pops around the map depending on their culture and exposure to Christianity
Decision to convert to Manichaeism with a playable Manichaeist pantheon
Barbarian strongholds that are more resistant to surrounding civilization spawn in the Germania area starting around 1054 AUC / 300 CE to simulate the beginning of the migration era
A simulated Hunnic invasion starts from barbarian strongholds above the Sarmatia (Pontic Steppe) regions around 1148 AUC / 395 CE with hunnic culture added
Huna invaders spawn from barbarian strongholds in the Khyber Pass area between India and Persia by about 1090 AUC / 335 CE and again around 1200 AUC / 450 CE
Divide the Roman Empire into Western and Eastern by an in-game decision after 1148 AUC / 395 CE
Jewish Diaspora spreads if Judea and Samaria are conquered
Population decline begins in late antiquity starting after ~975 AUC / 220 CE
My thanks especially to Lensy for his A Christianity Mod that sparked the timeline extension idea. Thank you to IhateTrains for his great work on the I:R→CK3 converter ; and thank you to the whole volunteer team making the Paradox Game Converters, allowing us to play megacampaigns! [Please support them on Patreon.] And of course thanks to Arheo and the PDS team that gave us Imperator: Rome 2.0.

Thank you to the kind and helpful folks on the Imperator Mod Coop Discord! I was a newbie modder and could not have put this together without their help. Playtesters are always welcome, and anyone who has any suggestions for improvement, please post in the Paradox forums thread for this mod (see link). Also anyone who can help with localization for other languages, please let me know.

Localization credits

Thank you to:

Adrian44 for the French localization
Podvoh for the Russian localization
SantiD10 for the Spanish localization
[There is also German localization.]

Known issues:

–slowdowns and lag develops after about 1054 AUC / 300 CE

–> periodically scrolling through the list of all of the characters in the game may help alleviate this issue

☧ compatible with both the I:R→CK3 converter v2.12+ and the I:R→CK2 converter v0.1+

–recommend converting to AD 476 or later
