This is for example the situation when the Roman Empire was divided in Prefectures, the Prefectures was not Emperors but commanded the same respect and, indeed, with the Tetrarchy they became effectively Emperors, but one of this Emperors held all the others as his vassals. Outer the Christian world we have similar situations any Muslim Emperor tried to become a Caliph and only after this is Emperorship become factual, a Persian Zoroastrian Emperor was a semi God, in China and Japan they were practically the Head of the Church.įor this mod a concept of tier above Emperor is present some Empires are so bigger that could be logically divided in two or more Empires and for sure had Emperors as vassals. In the Orthodox world similar situations with the Byzantine Emperor and the pretender Empires of Bulgaria and Serbia could be tough. Regarding the third point this do not implicate that this mod will remove ahistorical Empires because for the developer(s) point of view, they, indeed existed at least the ones in Western Europe: they are, indeed, the remnant of the Roman Prefectures but a Christian ruler will call himself simply King not Emperor for respect of the Holy Roman Emperor in any case creating one of the so called Prefecturial Empires give access to one interesting possibilities: try to convince the Pope that you are the real Roman Emperor and get the Imperial crown for yourself, doing this will upset the false Emperor that will declare war on you. There should be only one Empire in the west, the successor state of the Western Roman Empire is only one!.The fact that his should elect the Pope because The Emperor is indeed a Cardinal!.
