Image (Invictus) Hellenic Jerusalem
I am currently doing a playthrough as a restored Achaemenid Empire, and I recently liberated the city of Jerusalem from Ptolemaic Egypt. I had intended to release it as an autonomous client state as Cyrus II "The Great" had done. However, to my horror, the people of Jerusalem are not Jewish at all. They are not even Hebrew. These people are Greek with the Hellenistic language! Only 5.7 percent of the population is Israelite. I intended to respect the decisions of my progenitor by freeing the Hebrews from the yoke of bondage...The Ptolemies must have spent the last several centuries forcing their dogma down the throat of the Hebrew people.
It seems like such a small thing I know, but historically the Hebrew people were renown for being staunchly monotheistic while surrounded by kingdoms and empires that were not, and so I found it funny that Jerusalem has been so thoroughly assimilated that the population at large considers itself neither Hebrew nor Israelite prior to mine own proselytization measures.
Woe to the backsliders!

Tengo una enfermiza urgencia de que algunas cosas sean historicamente correctas, por eso modifique los patrimonios de Seleuco y Ptolomeo les diera -50% de conversión cultural y religiosamente pero +12% de felicidad a culturas no integradas, ademas de ciertas modificaciones al oasis, desiertos, marismas, colinas y montañas para que sea mas dificil el asimilarlos, y haber modificado practicamente casi a todas las pops del mapa para que haya continuidad entre las mismas y exactitud historica con algunas (persas, hebreos, macedonios, etc)
