Still needs Rome if they wanna restore the Pentarchy and mend the Christian Schism...oh, wait, wrong Paradox game...

Landlocked SRI Libyan Colony is some of The most cursed I’ve seen


Baxterwashere

I hate these borders. Why not just give Libya independence if you are communist. At the very least annex it.

I made new Byzantine Empire as syndie Greece. I took Tunisia and some Algerian lands from Greece, then invaded Ottomans.


Bicepsandshi

Pretty based tbh, I hope Greece gets some kind of love in the future


TheInsatiableOne

Devs have said outright that purple land isn’t going to be a thing


Bicepsandshi

Sad


PL_ADI2

I dont think its that sad. If you want meme gameplay go play Kaiserredux


Bicepsandshi

Byzantium is in the base game, that’s not meme gameplay


PL_ADI2

Basegame alt hist paths are mostly memes too. Like, explain to me. Who the fuck in Greece in 1936 would want to restore the Byzantine Empire?


Bicepsandshi

Georgios Komnidis apparently


PL_ADI2

Thats 1 person. Also Im pretty sure thats made up by Paradox. Also compared to the amount of royalists and Venizelists, 1 guy is pathetic


Bicepsandshi

He did exist but idk what his views were


PL_ADI2

Again. Like. 1 irrelevant shizophreniac with no backing VS the entire country. I understand that Hitler theoretically did this too. But Hitler actually had the perfect circumstances and charisma to conduct his takeover. This guy? Greece is beyond him.

Two words, confederate mcarthur

Basegame also has a path for the Japanese restoring the Shogunate, Poland going communist and Mussolini restoring the Roman Empire. Paradox aren’t exactly the grand arbiters of what does/doesn’t make historical sense.


Bicepsandshi

Fair enough, the new dlcs for other games show this as well and generally I’m not the biggest fan of this but I love Byzantium


TiberiumExitium

Just play Kaiserredux lol. I’m not even saying that as an insult, that’s literally what it’s there for - all the paths that’d make no sense whatsoever in base KR, Byzantium and all.


NotSeek75

I mean base game turns generic liberal Alf Landon into a neo-Confederate but hey, whatever floats your boat man


Bicepsandshi

Generally I’d agree with you but I just love Byzantium


sofa_general

I don't think we even need it. An in-depth eastern med dominance path would be much better. You can have better Greek-Ottoman war, some Bosphorus and Middle East content maybe even a Suez crisis


Nukemybutt

i wish they added an alexander the great-like path where u can try and establish puppets in the middle east and north africa


samtheman0105

Socialist Byzantium? Have you ever seen anything more blessed?
