Visigoths are fourth Rome.

Please, the Goths are the REAL 3rd Rome as demonstrated by the glorious reign of Imperator Augustus Thedoricus Maximus over a unified western Europe. Those dirty Slavs just wanted to steal the Goths right place as the heir to the heir of the Roman Empire. :smuggo:

Well this is good.


Oh god, does religious tension cause as much unrest as cultural tensions do in Rome2? This is going to be messy if it is.

I think "Gaulgoths" sounds better.

At this point I think it would be better if we started calling ourselves the OstroGauls. Sure it might piss off the natives but we are in east Gaul.

Or, it turns out, maybe Garamantia really wasn't that rich and fertile. Perhaps the people who told us of Garamantine power were slightly confused?

a 'Hunnia' or 'Hunnic Realm' exists on maps
I'd prefer it be an empire for this one, so that the various steppe kingdoms that show up afterwards try to claim the Hun's cultural legacy as a counter to Rome's.

Sensing weakness in the historical competitors across the Mediterranean, Egypt launched a campaign to invade Italy, seeking to capture Rome. At this time, southern Italy, including the city of Rome itself were an Egyptian vassal-state. Northern Italy has unified against this threat, and tensions are always at the boiling point.
Egypt is gone. There is only beta OMEGA Israel now. :smuggo:

Rome 2: Return of the Principate

YF-23 posted:



No King nor Emperor was fit to rule the Italian realm. The Central Roman state, having secured Italy from the Emperor of the west but under persistent siege from all sides and unable to pursue dreams of establishing itself as Empire in the Mediterranean entered a crisis of leadership as the purpose of the realm was uncertain. Without any practical source of legitimacy for the pretenders and under pressure from the heretic Goths and pagan Avars to the north, the Italian Romans found a common cause in defence of the faith, with the Bishop of Rome playing an increasingly active role in the state, culminating in a Great Compromise: the acceptance by the Roman Senate and the Italian nobility of the Pope as the highest authority in the realm.

The Western Roman Separatists start CK2 as the Holy Roman Empire, a theocracy under the Pope, who is Emperor over a number of duke- and king-level feudal vassals.

Changing my vote to this since it's probably a bit closer to what I want.

E: I feel like all of use who want a unified but decentralized Italy should start co-ordnating our votes

A slight deviation from orange, I feel as though a strong and resurgent Western Rome should only mean the Eastern Romans should wither. Inverse from OTL, karmatic balance and all that. While the slavs remained in the east, over the course of 300 years the Eastern Empire collapsed into many dukedoms and city-states.

Come on guys, we need somewhere balkanised.

Not having any holy sites held at the start was the real killer here.

Yeah,the way that the Pentarchy and Holy Sites mechanics interact made this practically inevitable.

There should be a Gothic Senate, filled with honorable men from the provinces, would help guide the kingdom. The Senate would serve an advisory role and would not get a vote on all affairs in the realm, but the king would consult and heed the Senate on certain matters.
