Greetings! Thanks to everyone who has subscribed to this mod.
First, I would like to mention that I now have a definitive plan for adding in the ancient Mesopotamian Religion to the Mod. It will be a reformable pagan religion with its own Monastic, Warrior, and Cult Societies, the former being formable by decision. It will also feature several unique religious events, including an event chain that will allow high martial rulers to fight the Bull of Heaven like Gilgamesh in the legends.
Second, plans are in place to make this mod EU4 converter compatible, which will also include a free fix to several cultures that don't normally convert over properly between games (i.e. Coptic, Slovak, Bosnian, etc.)
Third, a formable Aramean Empire is coming, for anyone that wants to make Antioch or Damascus the capital of the world!

I will continue to keep everyone updated as progress is made. Thank you again for your support, and may the RNG be ever in your favor!

I know it's been a long time, but I finally have an update regarding the Ziggurat Great Work! I finally created a Ziggurat portrait based off of e-sfera's own design on Sketchfab. Please support their amazing work, as I could not have gotten past a major creative block without them. If you would like to view their model, please folow the link here: https://skfb.ly/6DG6V

- August 30: Mesopotamian Religious Societies

Most of the coding for the Mesopotamian religious societies has been completed. The four new societies are: The Followers of Anu, a monastic order; The Keepers of the Old Way/Brotherhood of the Anunnaki, a secret cult for unreformed and reformed Mesopotamians respectively; the Sons of Nergal, a demon worshipper cult; and the Disciples of Ashur, a Warrior Society. The Sons of Nergal will also be formable for anyone of Assyrian, Chaldean, or Aramaean Culture, and I'm currently working on giving high-ranking followers of the god of war and disease the power to unleash a unique plague upon their foes.

Update:
I have decided to move the three new cultures into their own culture group to make it compatible with some other mods I have been working on in my spare time, such as a cultural retinue and buildings expansion pack.

A spoiler for future plans:

Once I finish this update, I'll be working on new mods and versions 2.5 and 3.0 of Mesopotamia Reborn. But one of the mods that is in the pre-production phase, Princes of Egypt, will be part of a future mod bundle with Mesopotamia Reborn, called the "Near East Expansion Pack".

Princes of Egypt will feature a new culture group for Copts, which will be divided into Sahidic and Bohairic to represent the two major Coptic dialects, as well as new events, bloodlines, creatable titles, and more. Be on the lookout for this upcoming mod release!

Now that Version 2.0 has been released, I'm going to focus on other mod concepts in development. I will continue to support this version in the meantime.

I also have plans to continue the development of this mod after I have finished with other releases. I have the following additions planned for Versions 2.1 through 3.0:

- Three ancient cultures formable through special events and decisions: Sumerian, Akkadian, and Babylonian.
- The Bull of Heaven Event Chain, inspired by the Epic of Gilgamesh.
- Tigris and Euphrates flooding events.
- Sons of Nergal Improvements.
- ...and much more!

I'm now working on major fixes for the next version of the mod. Aside from bugfixes, here are some of the new features besides the promised ones from much earlier:

- New Oriental Christian sects. Miaphysitism will be further subdivided into the Apostolic Church in Armenia. The Maronite Church of Lebanon will also be added to the map.

- The Order of Saint Paul will be replaced by the Order of Saint Ephraim, based on one of the actual monastic orders o the Syriac Orthodox Church.

- New holy orders are slated for the next update, including a Mesopotamian holy order. After watching the Apostolic Armenians get annihilated and completely wiped from the map multiple times by Arabs and Turks, I now understand just how vital they are to the survival of anyone within earshot of the Abbasids, and how useful they are for large, unwieldy empires in the early game.
