This mod is a sequel to the original "Third Odyssey" made by "Lichtkang", and would not be possible without my co-modders. It has grown a lot since it branched off from the original, adding tons of new content for you to enjoy!

Oprindeligt skrevet af Lichtkang:

This mod started out as a desire to colonise the new world as a faltering Byzantium and has grown out to be a much larger project than originally expected. Discover a new experience as a young, technologically and philosophically advanced nation in a New World, with all its wonders and perils.

The new Nation of Elysia has great potential to grow and become a local superpower. A ton of events and decisions give a lot of context and flavor to the nation and shapes its growth and feel. There's allot of events to discover, and depending on the choices you make your experience could change completely! Will you remain a loyal orthodox christian, or denounce the God that refused to help at times of great peril in favor of the old gods? Will you take along every possible artifact that may be of great boon, or will you take as much supplies and people as possible to avoid collapsing your economy and being overrun by natives? Consider your actions carefully, you can never know what future trouble may arise out of seemingly easy choices...

Gameplay:

• Rhomania - the new world nation originating from the Byzantine empire
  
• Event chain surrounding the trip to the new world, influencing how you will play the game
  
• New religions - a revived Hellenic faith, Orthodox offshoot, and syncretic pagan faith for Mesoamerica
  
• Fully custom tribal development, native governments and confederations
  
• Vikings! Another old-world origins power, now a rival in the new world, Vinland
  
• Emerging successor state in Mesoamerica, Spartakon
  
• Various new minor nations, whose fate is steered through your choices
  
• Return to Europe and reconquer the ancestral lands guided by an extensive event chain
  
• New songs for the Exiled Nations, found in the music submod
  
• Unique estates, idea groups, events, decisions...
