Religions & Cultures
Every religion in Voltaire’s Nightmare has some kind of custom mechanic. This could be something as simple as a unique set of Personal Deities, but we have also re-used most vanilla religious mechanics from outside the zone of the mod’s map to let you experience things like major incidents in the history of the Nestorian church or modernization reforms in the multiple pagan faiths of the Caucasus. It’s up to you whether you want to try playing as a Cappadocian Iconoclast destroying icons, a Dalcassian Lollard fighting off Crusades, or perhaps even revive the religion of Ancient Egypt and become a Coptic Napoléon.

Interesting Starts
Since Voltaire’s Nightmare covers such a vast timeline with hundreds of added nations, we thought the best way to give you a snapshot of the mod would be to highlight just a few scenarios from the 1054-1444 period that might pique your interest.The Kievan Rus


New England

The Crusades


The Reconquista


Beyond the Middle Ages
We hope you enjoyed this little look into the world and features of Voltaire’s Nightmare. To really get a sense for the mod, we suggest you try to explore the timeline yourself and see if anything sticks out to you. Maybe you could be the first player to start at the height of the French Empire in 1812 and manage to conquer the whole map before 1871?
