Description
This mod covers the suggestion for how to model a hypothetical re-founding of the famous Varangian Guard for Byzantium, along with a few related flavour events, especially if the religious stars align.

In addition, there is also an event chain for when the inevitable war between Byzantium and the Ottomans begin, where the Merchant Republics of Venice and Genoa decide how much, if any, aid to send to Constantinople.

Let me know what you think, and if these suggestions feel balanced!

For people who still have this mod on their playsets, I have a new mod which aims to reintroduce the content from the suggestions list on top of the landscape that Paradox sculpted in King of Kings and Winds of change. Not everything I built has been incorporated into it yet, but I hope to add what is appropriate over time. Feel free to check it out and I hope you enjoy it!

@Ckasaron Actually, all other byzantine mod series of this author's are compatible with 1.37 except for this one. The issue of this mod's compatiblity with 1.37 seems to be relevant to the estate files, so I simply merged the rest with another byzantine mod and it works fine.

@RMS Oceanic I really love your mod series to expand ERE sensibly without artificial debuffs like what 1.36 KoK did. Do you plan to update your mod series to 1.37, and if at all possible either help make it compatible with Europa Expanded or make a standalone mission tree to pair with your mods?

When I updated it, it pretty much messed up all my other mods so I had to uninstall

Just so people who enjoy this mod are aware, I unfortunately am not in a position to update it for 1.36. Not only does 1.36's content steal this mod's thunder a little, but I'm in the process of updating my computer. Once I'm established and have experienced what 1.36 has to offer I'll see what can remain as future suggestions.

@RMS Oceanic Hi! What do you think about changing the government type for Byz to elective monarchy? In my mind this change will give additional challenge and also show the unstable situation in government. In addition, this is quite historical, because from a legal point of view, the title of emperor was not hereditary in the european sense.

Nice! I love your mods, they're super high quality and honestly very well written

This is awesome! Thank you!

@Datguy47 eventually, though that may be if an when I finally figure out what form a mission tree would take.

Do you plan to make one big mod that incorporates all your byzantium mods in the future?
