Alevilik is a some sort of school under Islam who are followers of 4th caliphate Ali (umayyads usurped caliphate from him). In today, there many alevi living in anatolia.
They raped him?? Are you a Shiite or a fool? He was killed because of the hatred of the people of Kufa against him because of his wars that killed many of them. And do not forget his refusal to arbitrate, and this reduced his legitimacy among Muslims.
Fun names origins: Sweben comes from the suebes, a german tribe that migrated in Galicia OTL. Soxony comes from the soissons, a short-lived Post-roman kingdom in northern France. America comes from Armorica, the Gaullish name for Brittany.
Hello! I'm the reddit goofball in question (the creator of the alternate history timeline the mod is based on). I'm happy you liked it, the mod team worked really hard on it. For any confusion, take for granted that there is an actual in-universe explanation and a true explanation, which is "I thought it would be funny."
Haha cheers bro, definitely very creative. As an alt-history lover (I have my own alt history mod), I respect it! "I made it up" is a perfectly viable explanation in my books
alevilik is called "turkish/anatolian shia" often by religious experts. it is literally a sect of shiaism but influenced with turkic/turkish and a little bit of shamanistic/nomadic culture. people who follow this sect are called alevi in Turkey and they practise the most secular type of islam in the world.
Longobordia refers to Longobards who eventually took over Italy and later referred to as Lombards and northern Italy as Lombardia. Sweben refers to Suebi who controlled that part of Spain before the Consolidation of Hispania by Visogoths.
...Is Serbia up there only because it's a few letters from "Siberia"? Pretty sure Saxangle = Anglo-Saxons. Just in case anyone was wondering. So they never made it to the Britain like they historically did and instead remained on the mainland, whilst the Norse instead migrated to Britain.
Saxony failed to get their personal union with Valtea, which is the Polish-Lithuanian union of this mod, so they got stomped whereas they normally dominate that part of the world.
Africa under the Sahara and South East Asia have no changes yet, but they will arrive in future updates. Mexica are the Aztecs migrating East instead of South. Sometimes Rhomania wins and than it over for that region.
Assuming the timeline diverged before the Great Schism, and with the East becoming Muslim the centre of Orthodoxy disappeared and resulted in Catholicism becoming the predominant branch of Christianity in Europe
Well, it does make sense, actually. According to slavic linguists, it comes from Polish word "ślęg", which refers to the wetness of the area. Which works perfectly well for the lakelands of Finland.
Dawg I feel the same way about Byzantines beating the Ottomans scenarios or pretty much all the endgame of chewies simulation where all the middle east gets taken by Poland or whoever gets to the scraps of the Ottomans first, sh*t the only surviving Muslim power is always in India or Bengal taking China again and thats because some Bengali call scammer cursed Chewie years ago to always have Bengal be a lucky nation with some luck icing on top even when the settings disabled.
Without having read the lore, this looks like the devs just wanted LOLsorandom. Some things really bother me, like Austria in the Balkans - in our reality Austria's name derives from being the eastern march of the Charlemagnic empire, here it is just a random name attached to a random territory.
"Can we get the Ottoman Empire?"
"Sweetie we already have the Ottoman Empire at home-"
*The Ottoman Empire at home:*
The better Ottoman.

its basically a turkic tradition x islam and some shia elements into it.

It’s probably a play on words from Alawite who believe Ali is god

@Chewbert it's more of a "reverse-engineering the funny idea into something vaguely coherent" but still, thanks!
hai coso :3
man, what impotian is supposed to be?
5:25 never thought I’d see the day where I’m glad the Roman Empire falls in EU4
Then you must be pretty butthurt about OTL Personally I think the Hagia Sophia looks beautiful as a Mosque
Never thought I'd see the day where I'm glad they dont!
@@0rph33 nah it looks much worse, minrets detract from it, but to each his own

I'm orthodox but Islamic Eastern Rome is halal af
I’m Muslims and I’d like to think that the explanation is that heraclius accepted the prophets letter

There is a good solid chance for that
Or the Slavs migrated east, as I assume the mods lore says
@@sammylastname8776 North actually, Scandinavia is Slavic in this timeline.
i have seen the Holy italian empire maps on reddit once, didnt knew it was for a eu4 modding project

Red Legion getting that many troops just seems absurd
@@derekskelton4187 They lose them all at the end of the Crusade, they aren't really your troops as like any Crusades they are there for themselves
The original scenario on /r/imaginarymaps is a favorite of mine
Where TF is orthodoxy in the game? what is this nightmare?
Assuming the timeline diverged before the Great Schism, and with the East becoming Muslim the centre of Orthodoxy disappeared and resulted in Catholicism becoming the predominant branch of Christianity in Europe
Islam is the new orthodoxy
Impotian is the closest to orthodoxy in this mod
Silesia makes no sense in Finland since the name of the region is most likely named after a local geographical feature.
nobody cares bro
@@Chewbert I care, and your words are very hurtful bro 😔
JK

The creator of the mod said that he did thing's just because he found them funny
fresh ass video
Yo Chewy, thanks for showing this off man!
Dude no way, is that Trappist?
You bet!
I was so happy tp see Silesia doing well, yeah they started in Finland but i was really happy
Alt history can't go too far... unless you are talking about whatever happened here lmao
It will be cool to see you play this mod.
The alt hist intentionally makes no sense iirc lol
Islamic roman empire cant hurt you
Islamic roman empire:
Isn't that just the ottomans?
I'd love to see Chewy play this Islamic Byzantium on his other channel.
more schizo posting mods but this one looks pretty cool
HRE in italy? Huh... I wonder...
gerudo valley in the background kinda hype
Absolute banger
half of this is just stupidly dumb
i love it
I cant bring myself to watch this one dawg

why does rhomania have an h?
i hate it..... i feel sick looking at this its so wrong XD
Romanistan
Wow so Rum got big basically?
Not the Sultanate of Rum, but the actual Eastern Roman Empire converted with much difficulty to Islam

This Austria is an Gothic Kingdom, with Austro meaning South, since there is Cotia which are the actual Goths more up north
iirc Austria is just an anglicized version of Ostereich which means "eastern realm, but yeah, getting fired up about it is cringe lol
LUL WHY DID YOU CALL OUT BRUNEI as a shitty place lmfao. I'm sure you have atleast one or 2 viewers from there
If it really is they probably agree idk 😂
I think brunei is cool unlike the cringe man above me 👆
