Known issues:

I didn't assign any specific apparel to the Yiddish or Neoladino cultures so I think they just default to something. I might change this if it becomes a problem

Wonky localization for Reform religious titles

Yiddish culture uses Nordic barony graphics. I don't know why this happened, but I don't have too much of a problem with it because it's what Russians use in Vanilla and Yiddish rulers already have East Slavic portraits so I don't see why the baronies can't match as well

Goals for future versions

Add custom art for the Yeshiva events

Flesh out the Jewish rulers more. As it stands, I mostly just took the corresponding vanilla AtE rulers and changed their culture and religion. The only one with custom traits is Lazar Rothschild.

Frequently asked questions:

Why is every county in the Duchy of Catskill Yiddish and Orthodox?

Why is there only one Reform county? Aren't most American Jews Reform?

Why is the main Jewish culture Yiddish? Shouldn't it be a Jewish-American culture?

I only wanted to make one culture for the entirety of the former US and Canada, and I decided to use an already-existing one because that's easier. Wouldn't it be more fun to play as a real mensch than as a "Jewish-American"?

Why is there a holy site in Charleston?

How come Jews don't consider Zion National Park or Southern California to be the Holy Land like I want them to? Why didn't you also add Muslims and make Islam and Judaism rival religions, boiling down a centuries-long history of conflict full of pain and suffering into a series of really weird and kind of offensive jokes? Why didn't you do this, that, or the other thing?



WARNING: THIS VERSION OF THE MOD CONTAINS A GAME-BREAKING BUG. PLEASE GO TO PAGE 506 TO FIND AN UPDATED VERSION.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce thatSo, what exactly does the After the End Judaism Submod add? Besides the obvious, I mean.I'm glad you asked! It not only adds the Jewish religion, but it also adds two new cultures - Yiddish and Neoladino - and adds five playable Jewish characters to the mod!The mod re-adds the Jewish religious group to the game, with one main religion (Orthodox) and one heresy (Reform). Both religions have the following holy sites:Most of the vanilla events involving Judaism have been re-added, including the Jewish courtier and physician events.Orthodox Judaism is more or less the same as vanilla Judaism, but there are a few important differences. For one, you can't create the Kingdom of Israel, because Israel isn't on the map. However, you can still build a new Yeshiva in Brooklyn (equivalent to the Third Temple in vanilla) and create a religious head for Orthodox Judaism - the Grand Rebbe - through decision. The requirements for building the New Yeshiva are as follows:If the above requirements are met, you can begin constructing a new yeshiva and a new synagogue in Brooklyn. Both of these buildings are grouped together into one entity and referred to as the New Yeshiva. After the New Yeshiva is built, you can install a Grand Rebbe, who will act as a religious head for Orthodox Judaism.Orthodox Judaism is present in five counties at the start of the game: Brooklyn, Trenton, Shawangunk, Otsego, and Schoharie.Reform Judaism is a heresy of Orthodox Judaism that exists in exactly one county at the start of the game: Palm Beach. Unlike Orthodox Judaism, women can be ordained as rabbis, and the Absolute Cognatic succession law is available for all Reform rulers. However, you cannot create a religious head for Reform Judaism.Religious map in 2666:This mod also adds not one, butnew Jewish cultures!Yiddish culture is the main Jewish culture at the start of the game, and is present in six provinces at the start of the game - Brooklyn, Trenton, Shawangunk, Otsego, Schoharie, and Palm Beach. Yiddish is part of the Amerodeutsch culture group, has the New York Militia cultural retinue and associated buildings, and a custom name list incorporating Hebrew, Yiddish, and English names. Yiddish characters use East Slavic portraits, or just Western portraits if you don't have that DLC.Neoladino culture is to Yiddish what Sephardi is to Ashkenazi in vanilla. Although no provinces start with Neoladino culture, rulers south of the border will be given Neoladino courtiers and doctors from those events instead of Yiddish courtiers. Neoladino is part of the Mexicano culture group, and uses the same longbow retinues as most Mexicano cultures. Their name list is similar to Yiddish, but with some Yiddish and English names taken out and replaced with more Hispanic ones.Culture map in 2666:Five Jewish playable characters are available at the start of the game.Lazar Rothschild is the last remaining member of House Rothschild, one of the oldest merchant families in the Republic of New York. Lazar holds the County of Brooklyn and the City of Flushing, making him one of the more powerful lords on paper, but the glory days of his house have passed, and he isn't considered a serious candidate for the next election. Can you reverse the fortunes of House Rothschild and bring back the glory days of this once-great house?Levi of Monmouth took the County of Monmoth after leading a successful peasant revolt, making him the only independent Jewish ruler in North America. However, this also means that he is completely diplomatically isolated - he faces threats on all sides from Americanists, New English pagans, and the Anabaptist realms. His only potential ally is House Rothschild, but he does not yet have any children with which to form an alliance. How long will this upstart count survive? (Traits are random.)Leonard's family - House Horowitz - has held the county of Palm Beach for generations, which is no mean feat considering how volatile South Floridian politics can get. His house isn't in any danger of extinction - he is under the protection of the Caribbean Empire and has a young son ready to inherit his title when he dies. However, perhaps House Horowitz has a greater destiny...Unlike his counterpart to the north, House Blumenkrantz is a new player in the Republic of Miami, having taken an older house's place when their last living male member died mysteriously. House Blumenkrantz is the first and only Jewish family in the Republic, and if Adam doesn't get married and have kids soon, he might be the only Jewish patrician period. Can House Blumenkrantz rise from humble origins to dominate the trade of the Caribbean?What, did you think I was just gonna tell you who every single Jewish ruler in the game is? I'm keeping one of their identities hidden for now. I'll give you a hint, though - look south of the border. Like,south.Me, myself, and I. Oh, and User:Gilgamesh from Wikipedia, who created the Star of David I used for the religion icons. Thank you for using Creative Commons, Gilgamesh! (Obviously, this wouldn't be possible without the wonderful team behind AtE and without Paradox Interactive. Thank you both for making this amazing game and this amazing mod!)Once again,! Don't be surprised or angry if your game crashes or something doesn't work as advertised or some of the localization is messed up - just make a note of it and tell me so I can fix it for next version!Also, there are a large number of Hasidic Jews living in Upstate New York as it is, so it's not inconceivable that they might end up becoming the majority in the Catskill region like how the Amish became the majority in eastern Pennsylvania.Yes, most IRL American Jews are Reform. I myself am Reform. However, I suspect that many Reform Jews would either abandon Judaism entirely or join Orthodox communities and becomein response to the literal end of civilization and a subsequent massive increase in antisemitism, like what happened in America after the Event.The Jewish community in Charleston was actually the largest in North America until the late 19th century, and it was an early center of Reform Judaism in the United States.It's my submod. If you want any of those things, why don't you make your own submod? I'll even let you use mine as a base. Seriously, do it.(I'm open to suggestions, but I won't suddenly change major parts of the mod like that.)Thank you for your support!
