The beginning of the Athenian golden age saw the publication of one of the earliest codified laws in its society. Just as constitutional norms began to be set across imperial democracy, an ambitious young demagogue began to threaten it.

The kind-hearted Eucrates the Younger took an unprecedented step in Athenian politics when he stood once again for command status in the elections. Of course, he had constructed the important justification that it was to help with the war in Lydia.

The Lydians, under the guidance of the corrupt Queen Mother, had taken to trying to pressure and dominate the politics of Miletos, to try and recover dominance over Anatolia. Athens, having just come from the consolidation of Macedonia and the recent rotations of Greek politics with the Spartan withdrawal of relations from the Athenian sphere, the soon saw it in their interest to take any efforts necessary to weaken and beat down the outlying Kingdom of the East.

Seeing opportunity, Eucrates built up public support for an alliance with Miletos and soon lead an army of 18,000 men to Lydia itself.

Eucrates was coming under criticism once he took a third consecutive term. There was a faction of aristocratic Athenian citizens who started to both run a propaganda campaign against the "would-be tyrant" that Eucrates was, his "irresponsible" war effort in Lydia, and the productive stagnation beginning to take ahold in the home territory.

However, Eucrates had developed a system of keeping things in check. While he was still out winning victories in Lydia, he had a priest, Philocrates of Tyre, advocate for him at home. There was a new set of reforms under way in Eucrates' administration, where scholarship was being promoted so he could promote a great court that would aid him in maintaining control at home.

The next victory Eucrates won was his victory in Sardes, where he had been prosecuting a long and hard siege. He ordered the citizen army of Athens to completely plunder the city, having the slaves and treasure brought directly to Athens as a means of intimidating his domestic rivals.

Imperium Universalis

Coming from a considerable and glorious victory in Lydia, gaining for the Athenian state a new colony in Thrace, Eucrates had gained two more terms as the head and face of Athenian democracy. At the same time, however, it was worried by many that his amassing of glory and power was serving as a way to subvert the Constitution of Athens. There were a multitude of issues that threatened Athens; the foremost of them the issue of slavery and the fact that the slave population was once again rising rapidly.

Things came to a head when the moment there was a general peace, the slaves of Larisa declaring a general revolt against their masters. To prove his legitimacy once again (as well as gain the support of the "slave owning" class), Eucrates personally lead the 18,000 man army to Larisa and destroy the rebels.

yeah france vs germany just doesn't really work as a big war in kaiserreich, the weltkrieg feels just like the franco-prussian war or something, rarely do i see france vs germany last more than 2 years

imo germany vs savinkov or wrangel's russia would make for the best war that has a truly massive feel (even if it is too similar to our timeline), but it rarely happens. alternatively an entente with the usa and russia in it vs a totalist europe/latin america/india could be cool as a war in the late 1940s

There was unbounded controversy and choruses of execration when Eucrates won his sixth command in 314. Once again he had used a military campaign as the justification for it, and now he had a posse of philosophers, politicians, and specialists operating in Athens that served his doing. Because of his plentiful successes, Eucrates, still ambitious, had now become a locus for other politically ambitious Greeks who saw much wealth and success in the shape of the growing Athenian Commonwealth.

But this wasn't only an informal ring of power, Eucrates made actual, institutional reforms in Athens as a means of solidifying his legacy on the politik and procedures of its state apparatus. In the military sphere, he set up officer schools and military academies staffed by veteran friends of his, he revised the equipment and tactical standards of the Infantry, the backbone of the Athenian army. On the home front, he let Philocrates appease the religious establishment of Athens while he made appeals to the growing intellectual base all around Greece to attract them to Athens as a place of thought. He underwent great projects in Athens, building up the Great Marketplace, paving the roads, and establishing theaters, libraries, and temples in the city. All of this was paid for by treasures conquered from abroad.

riddle me something, has slaves been fixed? Last time I played a while ago I gathered too many slaves and the modifiers glitched out and I had all 4 slave modifiers in effect at once, giving me an extra 10 unrest nationwide
Could you show your slave modifiers if it's not too much to ask?

Gonna try my luck again Any tips on how to git gud in Waking the Tiger? It's weird, I can't even take fucking Yugoslavia with Hungary anymore, no matter whether I hurry and strike early or wait a while.

At first I went with 6 inf, 2 art and support eng. Yugoslavia has no hardness to speak of, so I didn't bother with anti-tank, TD or whatever. Then I read somewhere that tanks were buffed considerably, and that supposedly even light tanks are feasible in combat now. Went even worse when I tried integrating some of those.

Any ideas where I'm fucking up?

Shut up reddit nigger

I haven't noticed a whole lot of problems in the slave system? It's all just hard to read. I'm also rather new to the mod, I will be completely honest. Like I heard something about culture changing through colonization, but I haven't seen anything happen from that. It would really help with the Macedonian provinces though.

For colonization on the province view there's a top right button that for 300 ducats (doubled for each colony you have) the province undergoes 'colonization" where events fires that add a progression % (5% then +15 for 25 dip mana, etc) and when it's completed it flips to your culture and religion

Isn't the standard template 7inf 2art?

It is, I think, but Hungary is low on manpower early on and Yugoslavia used to go over like nothing. The problem can't be one battalion of inf, can it?

I mean, Dixie culture isn't accepted in the US after a Union victory in the civil war IIRC, so it would certainly be possible.

But again, it was more convenient to post everything to Reddit than it was to use the Paradox forums.

I am kingdom rank, so I guess I might need to be above. Well, I'm going to probably just take the effort to get myself to Large State status.

The war on the behalf of Athen's barbarian allies in Thesprotia proved to be an unpopular and weak excuse for the continuance of Eucrates' command. Becoming slightly desperate, if not simply eager to once again aggrandize himself for the glory of his growing Athenian Empire, Eucrates decided that it was time to assert himself deeper in Greece. Specifically he wanted to subjugate the Aetolians and their allies the Phocians. Having them under Attic patrimony would guarantee that Athens would have a solidified hold in both Beotia and around the Peloponnese.

He set out his legate Prymneus to go and incite the appropriate incidents to allow a widespread invasion of inner Greece. It's at this point that it's important to emphasize other things that made Eucrates the Youngers' command rather controversial. He was known by some (disparagingly) as Eucrates the Macedonian not because of any actual heritage on his part, but rather because he spent little time in Athens itself but rather off in the Macedonian province trying to build up a personal power base for himself right there. It was humiliating for the other demagogues and reformers in Athens to see an errand boy go back and forth with messages from the man who was supposed to be the public slave. As Eucrates wrote proclamations and reforms from Pella, whether it was an expansion of the Athenian navy, or a treatise where he claimed complete support for Athenian democracy.

His documents on politics reveal a very different sort of figure and mind from his own actions, emphasizing the importance of democratic norms, a vigilant public, the rotation of officials, and countering the problem of faction.

I made the Judaism Submod for After the End, and after the dev team went into hiatus I got permission from them to make my own version of the mod. I got a team together and managed to get v0.1 of our new version out in around a month.

We've added all the stuff from my Judaism submod, as well as a few other things, like adding the new Jade Dragon Chinese portraits for Asian characters and Monastic Feudalism for Gaian characters. We've also fixed a shitton of bugs with the old version, so it should run perfectly well on the newest CK2 patch.

Well, fucking thank you for updating it. What are you going to do now?

We still haven't added secret religions, societies, or off-map powers, so our next three updates will focus on adding all of those things in that order.
There are also a few more things we want to improve on, like the lack of flavor in parts of South America or the fact that certain Christian religions don't have heresies for some reason.
