So if I got the interlude chapter right, are these Germanic dudes looking for Rome from Rome on the Elbe?

Yeah, it's either Romano-Germans or Romano-Norse looking for Roma and mistaking Tuscany for Latium

I wasn't sure how these votes would turn out, so I left it ambiguous enough that it could either be the Roman-Germanics from Rome-on-the-Elbe, or Vikings inspired by Roman culture/religion looking for the place they've heard so much about

I liked the idea of ascendant Numidians taking over the coasts, Egypt could go either way following the revolutions over there, and the Seleukids don't have any external threats, but might have a new trading partner in India?

I like to imagine the randomness is things like how hard the climate change encouraged Germanic migrations and so forth

:siren:Vote!:siren:




The second vote concerns the dominating event that would define the era between Imperator and CK3 — the barbarian migrations. Driven by a range of factors that includes climate change, population pressure and plague epidemics, the various ‘barbarian peoples’ would flood into the Middle East, Europe, Africa and India over the course of several centuries, starting with…


Attila and the Huns

Attila, the scourge of God, is not remembered kindly in the histories… but those are not our histories. Will he leave a legacy of destruction and devastation, such that the generations and centuries will remember his name as a byword for tyranny and cruelty… or will he falter and his people fail, and disappear into the pages of the forgotten past…

Where does Attila lead his hordes?

A — West (to Germania at least, and possibly Gaul, Britain, Iberia, Italy, Africa)
B — South (to Pannonia at least, and possibly Italia, Illyria, Thrace, Greece, Africa, Egypt)
C — East (to Scythia at least, and possibly Russia, Anatolia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, India)
D — who’s Attila? (they never rise to prominence)

-

The Germanic Invasions

Before and with and after the infamous Attila, the various Germanic peoples would have their say. There are the Goths, the Vandals, the Cimbrians, and possibly the Franks, the Alemanni, the Frisii, the Angles and Saxons and Jutes… and whilst some would be settled relatively peacefully, many others would be driven into a rampage of conquest and blood that would not only torment a continent, but could well determine the fate of their peoples for decades, centuries, even millennia into the future…

The only question is, in which direction were these Germanic tribes unleashed?

A — West (to Gaul at least, and possibly Britain, Iberia, Africa)
B — South (to Italia at least, and possibly Illyria, Greece, Anatolia, Africa)
C — East (to Russia at least, and possibly Scythia, Mesopotamia, Persia, India)
D — what Germans? (they don’t expand beyond their current borders)

-

The Slavic Migrations

Towards the end of the Late Antique period, the Slavs would undertake a series of stunningly rapid migrations — and with the people, came their languages, traditions, religions and more. Again driven by changing climates and overpopulation, there is little doubt that the Slavs will have to strike forth from their homelands east of the Vistula and Volga rivers, and seek greener tides…

But where do the Slavs end up?

A — West (up to Germania at least, and possibly Gaul, Britain, Iberia)
B — South (to Pannonia at least, and possibly Illyria, Greece, Anatolia, Syria, Egypt)
C — East (to the Steppes at least, and possibly Persia, Mesopotamia, India)
D — what’s a Slav? (they don’t leave their homelands)


———

Again, there will be dice rolls associated with the winning options — two, in this case.

First dice roll will be to decide the extent of the migrations, so for the Germanic peoples for example, if option C wins then based on the dice they might settle Russia alone, or they might invade and settle everything between Germania and Persia…

Second dice roll will be to decide their ‘staying power’, i.e. whether the invading peoples will rule as an elite class over native populations, or if they convert their subject populations as well. So for the Huns, for example, this might include a ‘Hunnic’ culture emerging in the the lands they invade and settle, or it could comprise a Hunnic king and court that rules over native cultures.
