I wonder if Macedonia will catch Conciliarist fever through Naples/Sicily via Ancona? Couple that with a possible re-capture of Constantinople, the Ecumenical Patriarch may have to relocate, probably to Hispania. I imagine Romania will probably shift to Conciliarist as well. Who knows how the other 2 (!) Reformation events will shake out. Personally, I'm hoping for GothReformation centers in the British Isles, Scandinavia and the Middle East (anyone else psyched for the potential of a Greco-Egyptian pseudo-Prussia?).

Edit: I bet GothLP-Protestantism was at least partially set off by Crusader control of Constantinople and a poorly concealed wistful nostalgia on part of the Latines towards the days when the peninsula was free of Constantinople's meddling.

One of the coolest parts of this LP, along with a Romance Celtic Language, the non-existence of the French in favor of a Gothic Gaul and a whole lot more Dutch, and Manicheans remaining relevant well into the Crusades.

If Gautes is based off of Catalan to a certain extent, does it have that "soft c > th" lisp-like thing (forgive my linguistic ignorance) going on when spoken?

Awesome update!

Conciliarist really makes a lot of sense for Gothia, considering the Arian heritage of the realm. Not that Gothic Conciliarism seems liable to reject the Trinity, but the history of local church autonomy was probably a rallying point for many Gothic Conciliarists who knew of their history. I was personally hoping for Gnostic Gothia, but oh well.

Edit: Once the situation in the New World starts heating up you should post separate screenshots of the New World at the end of updates.

Edit: The irony of Tiuderic's push for religious reform leading to an unwanted type of governmental reform, that itself is in line with the ethics of the religion that he pushed on the masses, is just too awesome to pass up.

If option A passes, Gothia is going to be a weird mash-up of OTL nations:

- England (protestant parliamentary monarchy)

- France (latinized germanics with hegemony over Gaul)

- Spain (latinized Gothic state engaged in early colonial endeavors)

- Prussia/Germany (non-Roman protestant "heirs" to Roman "Legitimacy")

On top of this, honestly, I've seen enough of Goon Participation Paradox LPs for the shine to wear off. Votes are OK every once in a while but having a parliament, even if it's not being totally goon-run, just leads to everyone posting in character after every single update about how they're Lord Farthuffington III and Outraged I say, Outraged at this reform or that change. I'm a bit bored with that so let's go off the rails.

I'm really just happy with anything but South. Loegria is already pretty active there and I don't want too much in the way of border gore.

So far it seems like just Gothia and Loegria playing the Colonial Game. Anyone else getting involved that we haven't seen yet? I expect it's only a matter of time before Mauretania and Francie get colonies up and running, but beyond that I have no idea who else is going to be colonizing the New World.

From running approximately a bajillion observer games, the usual colonial suspects aside from who you mentioned are Norway, Armorica (Gothic), Lusitania (Hispano-Roman), Deywr (Welsh Briton) and Gallaecia (Hispano-Roman).

Considering that Norway is even weaker here than in vanilla EU4 I'm surprised by how often it colonizes an imperial fuckton (1.6 metric fucktons) of provinces in the New World.

Any particularly weird observer games that you could tell us about without spoiling potential events in this game? (not necessarily just colonization stuff)

I love how the first permanent European New World settlement North of the Rio Grande is Armorican Goth Charleston. Looking forward to when Mauretania and Francie finally decide to start colonizing.

Edit: Let's get this straight, Francie is Dutch France in Germany. Gothia is Latinized Germanic England/Spain in France. Loegria is clearly Celtic Castile, while the Spanish Minors are Italy/Germany. Romania somehow managed to end up as the Low Countries, and both Mauretania and Lusitania are Portugal.

Starting to wonder what the colonial cultures that are developing are like.

Are the economies plantation based? What are the cultural differences between Brithenig speaking colonies and Gautes speaking colonies? What motivates the colonists from each nation to go to the New World? Are Colonial Missions commonplace, especially given that the largest colonial powers are Concilliarist and Reformed respectively? How are relations with the Native Americans?

Also, could you post a religious map?
