had an interesting game so far, my 30 martial 16 health irish germanic count won a 30 year prepared invasion war against the byzantines, at which point I swore fealty to the remnants and was promptly elected emperor. That guy lived to the ripe age of 110, and reformed the norse faith, now my family is greek and the main norse world is the mediterranean. My question is, to reform the roman empire you have to have blah blah provinces and also be orthodox. However I'm aiming for a true, pagan roman empire.

Can I convert to orthodox, reform the empire, and then switch back? Will I lose the fylkirate by doing so? I wouldn't particularly mind losing it, so long as other rulers actually join the great holy wars. I've declared one so far, which I won by myself as no germanic rulers hopped in.

I did a bunch of tests on this because I'm planning on doing this as a pagan republic in an ironman game, although I'm still getting jerked around by the republic merging glitch. Yes and almost certainly yes. I didn't actually check to see if the fylkirate dissolves when someone of an organized religion holds it, but I would bet money that it will. There's ways to do it on ironman, but it's an exploit and really gamey, and there's really no point in dealing with it if you don't have to because it doesn't flow at all. If I was you, I would wait until your current ruler is old enough that you're aloof to him dying, then pause the game, and grant the fylkirate to your heir through the diplomacy menu. Then console your religion to orthodox, console any prestige/piety/gold he'll need to form the Roman Empire (shouldn't be much if any if he's been an emperor and a fylkir for a long time), then form it and kill yourself so your heir inherits. Then you should be good. Just in case you don't know any of the console commands you'll need

"charinfo" will let you see a characters ID number when you hover over their portrait

"religion orthodox" or "religion orthodox <charid>" will change your current characters religion to orthodox. you can also use iconoclast or whatever orthodox heresy. The console can get a bit touchy sometimes.

"piety x" "prestige x" "cash x" where x is the amount of piety/prestige/gold you want to add

"kill <charid>"

Then you should be golden. The Augustus and Born in the Purple traits will continue to work as designed, but you won't have access to the imperial reconquest CB, although you should still have the events pop up when you do restore a Roman provinces borders. The bigger issue is that the Pope has already probably hosed up Rome really bad by filling it with temples, so it's probably useless as a capitol.

a good post, thank you. I believe I will give the fylkirate to Rome, I already renamed the title Pontifex Maximus. I may have a look through the files to see if I can't change the adjective from fylkir to that as well.

Can't say I agree with that, feastings fine as it is, and costs gold like it should. Plots dont cost any gelt. Carousing should be reworked a little maybe, with an invite all vassals button or something its a pain in the arse when youre a kingdom or empire to get everyone involved.

I, I guess you could turn feudal if you lost every single coastal county and were forced to move your capital inland? Maybe?

Or it might just game over you.

If you wanna use the console, it's 'set_government feudal_government "charid" '
HUHHHHH


Thanks. Each of my patrician houses has a coastal duchy. and I currently hold the kingdom. If I was to turn myself feudal, does anyone know if each republic vassal would gain their own patrician houses, since the top title had changed government?

a merchant republic with thousands of ducats and the assassinate for gold option turned on is truly terrifying. It's like having seal team 6 at your disposal
