Alpha Version of the Byzantium Antiquity mod for testing purposes

This is an alt history mod where in 1327 the Byzantine Empire repelled the Turkic onslaught and Preserved one of the longest standing empires in human history. Key Nations of this mod are Byzantium, Venice, Bavaria, and Georgia. Fun playthroughs of minors include Jerusalem, Bosnia, Knights Hospitaller, Egypt, Antioch, and the Hansa.

Byzantium: Byzantium had pushed out the Latin crusaders but werent out of the woods yet. Andronikos II with good counsel reunited the western side of the empire and his successor, Andronikos III would reclaim the coast of Anatolia from the Turkic Warlords. However, upon the death of Andronikos III, the Palaiologos family was overthrown and in 1444 only rule Bosnia, Jerusalem, and are minor landholders in modern day Albania. Now, with unrest growing from the Turkic subjects, and ambitious enemies surrounding the empire, will Byzantium hold out? or be carved between ambitious powers yet again?

Venice: The venetians played an essential role in the 5-8th crusades, earning a fortune and playing a major role in establishing the crusader states of the near east. With this wealth they secured a chunk of Anatolia and trade hubs further expanding trade influence in the Mediterranean. This however is a time of crisis, with neighboring powers looking upon the Patrician's wealth with aspiring eyes. Will Venice hold off its neighbors and remain the Mediterranean power? or will it fall to its neighbors?

Bavaria: The Habsburg dynasty flourished in this timeline, marrying into titles across the Holy Roman Empire. in 1380, they forced the Emperor to recognize the family as the kings of Bavaria after uniting the Bavaria. They also have begun to marry into the eastern dynasties attempting to expand their influence. Bavaria is poised for greatness under one of the most prestigious families of Europe, the only question is will they move east into the wealthy kingdoms or unite the German people for the first time in history?

Georgia: The ancient kingdom of Georgia led firmly by the Bagrationi family saw an opportunity in 1350. With the Byzantines pushing back against the Turks and Venetians moving in, Georgia seized large swathes of Anatolia. But now on the edge of Christendom the Ilkhanate has remained a constant threat, and now that the byzantine empire is back on it's feet its only a matter of time before they send an ultimatum.
