After the End (AtE) is a total conversion mod set in a 2666 A.D. post-apocalyptic America.
It allows to play as a character in North America and rampage/conquer/bring the True Faith to over 900 provinces, 25 Kingdoms, 4 Republics, 1 Theocracy, 5 Tribes or Nomads and 14 Religions to choose from.
Key milestones
The project started in August 2014.
The last version (0.9) was released in March 2017.
Beginning of 2018 the mod creator announced that the mod was effectively on hiatus, and that the team would let other modders fork the project.
A project named After the End Fan Fork is focusing on making the mod fully compatible with the current CK2 patch, incorporate new vanilla gameplay features from recent patches, and add entirely new features.
Background
Official History from the Wikia
AtE is set in North America. In the far-distant future, centuries after the general collapse of society, the people of the North American continent have begun to rebuild their disconnected societies into something approaching civilization. However, quite a lot has changed in six centuries: The nations of the old world are nothing more than legends, and the surviving societies have had more than enough time to form their own identities and cultural and religious traditions.
Gameplay
After the End's game play is similar to the vanilla Crusader Kings experience. The main difference is the setting, as apocalyptic North America is filled with many new religions and cultures. The interaction of these cultures is where the game differs from the vanilla game-play. The setting also allows for the the introduction of salvaged modern technology in the mostly neo-medieval setting and several invasions and events that change the game-world as time goes by.
