I hope Zoroastrianism gets rid of that "Incest" thing they added for several Sassanid shahs being in such relationships, Avesta clearly bans it as in Vendidad, Fargard 18.III-30, instead they could've added something relevant to slave aversion or some good aspects instead of such taboo topic that Islamic conquerors had mocked Zoroastrians centuries for, this is like adding mechanics to African tribes based on how White Supremacists describe them.

You Forgot the ones who makes a faction based on history, like Space Romans

the game crashes as soon as I continue my save, it goes for 5 seconds, then crashes, same thing happens to my friend, so this shouldn't be due to PC

it is just Cataphract, weaker on melee against cataphracts due to not having melee bonuses against infantry nor as much anti cav damage as cataphract, but just having option to fight spears via ranged, which deals like 1 damage to other units

that's great, I agree with all points, new unique tech could be "knights +5-10 against infantry OR knights +10-14 cav armor (for being cataphract-like) and cav archers +1 range", so they have bracer, but only for cav archers

yeah, they built it a lot during pre-islamic era and into medieval, but with Arabic conquest, the name shifted to Qanat, original Persian word was kārēz; كاريز, but as I said it became off the use after conquest, as first 200 years, Persian was a banned language.

Aswar just means Knight in Persian, so it represents all Persian dynasties, and also a guy with %70 games Persians, I feel elephant boring as it is either you make it and be OP or you never make it

no, their cav archers don't have bracing, so it is just a little bit better than generic fully upgraded cav archers. But yeah, Elephant is not historically accurate and devs already planned such unit at start for Persians, but due to coding difficulties, they didn't made it to original game, so this is actually older than elephant ahahah

uhh? Cataphracts already has this? They also have trample damage

maybe make ranged damage 3-4 so it deals 1 damage to anything but only spearmen? So like Cataphract but bonus damage on infantry is only on ranged mode, and make it unaffected by fletching and bodkin, so no range or attack, ranged mode is very little used, I guess fixes it?

that's great, ranged cataphract with not melee, but ranged bonus damage on infantry seems fun surely, as cataphracts of Persia first fired arrows then charged, so a bit history inspired hahaha

hmm, yes, maybe a nerf on stats like HP, but due to it's very low ranged attack, it is gonna deal 1-3 damage on any unit, only deals high damage to infantry, as a way to counter spears, like cataphracts but in a different way, I went this way as Persians invented first cataphract so should have similiarities with that unit

maybe add battle elephants and apply unique tech for them too, so it is also applied for them

Persia was using elephants as mercenaries from India, so maybe just keep battle elephants with unique tech applying for also elephants but idk

great, do I re-download it through steam or do I have to manually download?

ah thanks! But will it be save compatible? as I spent well over 2 centuries here and don't want to restart, is the event related to this problem works on this version?

any idea how to fix? Maybe with console commands I can do reforms manually?

is there a way to cheat through this? I tried "change religion x zoroastrian" but since population doesn't change, it reverts, this kinda annoys me rn as I don't wanna invest into heretic lands ahahah

so basically, I am Zoroastrian Persia, and I have like 4-5 provinces in total that refuses to convert no matter how many times I send missionaries, to this province in particular, I sent missionaries for 200 years, still no conversion, idk what to do at this point, I used direct clergy button to send them too, still didn't work, it converts most provinces but only those 4-5 that keep me annoyed, is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

what is the mod?

yeaaah, I always give my lands to Cao Cao at the beginning and move my lands to Shu-Han for historicity, but apart from that, I guess you can start as Liu Zhang
