What is the mod called, and what is its point?

Don't have a name for it yet and it's point is to split power among a variety of factions so that not 1 or 2 factions have all the power.

It encourages diplomacy with more factions and leads to different tactics and situations while also having fun using your imagination.

Think of how the Sassinids will actually have to deal with 4-5 different factions on it's borders. That right there adds much needed challenge to the Sassinids.

Both Roman empires are much smaller but can be built up, focused upon, and expanded instead of getting overwhelmed right off the bat.

I've made this mod 12 turns per year and I'd say the mod is good for long term end games since there are so more factions to deal with.

Sorry, I don't want to be rude but it looks really stupid.

Why is it stupid?

I know lots of people want something like this.

I don't think this is stupid... I was actually looking forward to something similar

May I ask you which tables you modified in order to get to this result? I plan to create custom units unique to each of the Roman successor factions and probably to implement them (the custom units) in such a "divided empire" scenario.

Seems like an interesting starting map to me. Perhaps I should be rude though...

This looks interesting. Have you broken the Roman factions to be based on the historical Praetorian Prefectures?

I think the factions are based on regional rebels. So the regions where you would get British rebels as the Western Roman Empire is given to the British (roman) faction, where you would get hispanic rebels is given to the Hispanic (roman) faction etc. etc.
