I haven't played vanilla in god knows how long; I recommended 1066 because they should be divided and you should have a decent chance to get marriage alliances while still getting to choose between multiple viable options.

The Red Army is making slow, but steady progress against the vile fascists. They seem to have run out of manpower reserves, as every offensive runs into less and less resistance. The Bulgarians and Romanians have seen the light and defected to the righteous side of Communism. The Bulgarians were, unfortunately, lost quickly to German forces in the vicinity that were able to consolidate their positions in major Bulgarian cities before Red Army units could reach their new Bulgarian allies. They were made to pay. The Anglo-American forces were largely pushed out of the Balkans, although they were able to force several other landings throughout the continent. Meanwhile, Soviet scientists are racing to create new plane designs that can make full use of new jet technologies.

The first 50 years where not that exciting. Rome is peaceful and mostly warns its neighbors, staying true to history.

The barbarian tribes do however war some, with the most significant being the Gepid conquest of Dacia, it will be another 100 years before the Dacian people once again rule themselves.

Both Rugii and Hermunduri also expanded their borders through conquest of their neighbors, splitting the Lombardy tribe between them.

Alemanni and the Goths also grew some, assimilating the smaller tribes around them. This arrangement of five tribes (Rugii, Hermunduri, Francia, Alemanni, and Suebi) will prove to be a quite stable balance of power for at least the next 200 years.

The two most significant event during the years 100-150 AD were the Gepid conquest of the Goths and Burgundy, making them the largest tribe in Europe, and second only to the Romans, their glory days will be short, however.

The other was the unification of the British Isles by the tribe of Corieltauvi, who from being one of the smallest tribes on the British Isles went on to conquer and annex all its neighbors, with the exception of Iceni.

Rome has expanded into Crime in multiple wars against the Sarmatians.

Meant 50-100 in that post, my mistake. Anywho.

We now see the fall of the Gepids, starting with numerous rebellions in the south resulting in the release of Dacia, the northern tribes of Venedi, and Burgundy break free. The Hermunduri tribe seizes this opportunity and they as well expand into former Gepid land.

Rome continues its march into the Crimean area, but a new horde, known as the Huns have banded together just east of the Empires newest expansion.

The Hermunduri tribe, who had for over 150 years been one of the five strong Germanic tribes falls. The newly released Burgundians attack them in a period of weakness, and in this era of relative political instability in the Barbarian kingdoms, the Hurmunduri are quickly divided up between its neighbors. Rugii grow stronger still, with Alemanni expanding modestly.

The war between the Suebi and the Quadi was a much more bloody conflict, at least as far as Barbarian wars go. Quadi eventually wins and replaces Sebi as one of the stronger Germanic tribes.

The newly free Dacian people soon have their freedom taken away as the Roman Empire period of Pax Romana seems to have come to an end, and Dacia and its people become part of the immense Empire.

Are the scenarioes in hoi3 any fun? I kinda like the idea of focusing on the war in north africa as the british.

>>152887347
The five great Germanic tribes have become three. Rugii, Quadi, and Alemanni. Building on their success against Suebi the Quadi peoples look to the east, conquering parts of the Gepids, who for a short twenty years no longer held any sovereignty.

The Rugii expand aggressivly, conquering Jutland to the north, forcing the people of Denmark to take shelter southern modern-day Sweden. They also expand east, in a war against the Burgundian tribe. The Gepids reclaim their freedom from the broken Burgundy tribe and now control almost none of the homeland.

Rome seems to have halted her expansion, perhaps a sign of internal instability, but only time will tell.

It goes between 2-9999 according to the mod author, but I will probably only narrate up to 1800, with shorter intervals between posts the closer to 1800 we get.

If you ask me any timeline extension (past perhaps 10-15 years) for EU4 is rather daft for an actual game, since it doesn't model mechanics very well, but it makes for fun (if not realistic) alt-hist scenarios.

Unfortunately the years 250-300 AD were rather uneventful. The Rugii tribe continued its expansion east, splitting the Burgundians land in two, and conquering the Gepids, a people once more in the role of slaves rather than masters. This war against the Burgundians is quickly followed by later wars, eventually conquering most lands to the east, forming the largest barbarian tribe since the days of the Gepids.

Massive rebellions sweep the Empire, different barbaric peoples united under the banner of their Germanic faith take up arms against their overlord. The rebels and the Roman legion clash on the fields of battle, but the fire is burning from the Gauls in the west, to the Greeks in the east, and the Roman armies can only march so far in a day.

The rebels begin to argue among themselves, and soon breakaway factions are formed. The Dacians no longer agree with the Vandals, and the rebels begin fighting within their own ranks, however, the damage has been done.

Then something unprecedented happens. For the first time on over 300 years, a barbaric tribe attacks the Roman Empire. It is the Rugii.

The Roman Empire has officially adopted the Chalcedonian faith in this time of troubles. Among the strife of religious unrest, barbarian invasion, and massive rebellions pretenders have risen up inside the empire. In the Greek provinces a young general known as Gordian Salvidienus has taken up arms. He wields an army 2/3rds the strength of Rome, her reserves severely drained by the conflicts.

As all hope seems lost for the Empire, the young Salvidienus marches on Rome.

A broken empire accepts his ultimatum, and he becomes new Emperor of the Empire. In five quick years he manages to put down most rebellions with minimal concessions made. Only a few tribes, the Vennes, the Dacians, and Venice are given sovereignty.

The war with the Rugii is ended equally swiftly. Concessions are made and Rome signs a peace treaty, and for the first time in over 300 years the Empire has lost land.

The young general crowns himself Constantine I Salvidienus.

Times are changing however, the Vennes are no ordinary barbaric tribe. They are the first of the feudal kingdoms.

The peace does not last long however, and a mere 12 years later rebellions again start to sweep the Empire, this time concentrated in the Gallic lands. The people surrounding the new Vennesian kingdom wish to be free of their Roman masters.

Again, striking at a weakened empire, the Rugii attack.

Peace. The Empires borders have been pushed west by continous rebellions in the far east, and the Vennes, Alemanni, and Rugii have made further expansion into Roman land. Although both the Iberian peninsula and the North African provinces are plagued by rebellion, the largest ones in the Roman homeland have been put down. Something tells me this peace too will only be temporary. The fall of the Empire has begun.

The Rugii tribe decides to attack the other two large tribes that border it, the Alemanni and Quadi, who quickly band together to stop the expansionist Rugii.

30 years later the Empire is a mere shell of its former self. The Sarmatians have taken back their land in the east, the Alemanni conquered most Roman land down to the Swiss mountains, before splitting up into three separate tribes, the Hermunduri, Alemanni, and Suebi. These people now resurfacing after being part of the Alemanni kingdom for almost 350 years.

The Vannes and Frisians have taken large parts of modern-day France, and much of the North African provinces have either declared sovereignty, or are in the fires of rebellion. Aemelian I Salvidienus, grandson of Consantine I inherits an Empire in flames.

The Rugii continue their expansion, and having won the war against the Quadi and Alemanni, they annex almost all of the Quadian tribe's holdings.

In the north, it is rumored that the savages known as the Geats have entered the world stage.

BIG FUCKING NEWS. The split of East and West Rome has happened, and the Rugii tribe has released a bunch of smaller tribes within itself.

Emperor Aemelian I Salvidienus has moved the capital of the Roman Empire east, to Constantinople, named after his grandfather. A rival senator, and rival to the throne of Emperor Titus Rangoni denounces the practices of the Salvidienus family, citing the rapid decline of the Roman Empire, and declares himself Emperor of Rome and all Her holdings. The empire is split in twain, east and west.
