    The Eternal Empire: Emperor Maurice dies before being overthrown
    Threadmarks: Part 1: Emperor Theodosius III

    Kievan Rus convert to Catholicism

    Essentially what might happen if instead of converting to Orthodox Christianity the Rus instead converted to Roman Catholicism. I am not sure how to achieve this, maybe the Hagia Sophia isn't as beautiful, or the observers don't decide the Catholic Church is dull.

    WI: Sealion is launched
