The Kingdom of Man and the Isles was more often called simply the Kingdom of the Isles. If the nation is referred to as The Isles then it doesn't need any cultural union tag at all.

On that Manx note, the Italian flag needs a triskelion in there somewhere, heraldry be damned. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/ba/Flag_of_Sicily_%28revised%29.svg

Wiz posted:I don't mind changing province names as long as people make the suggestions for me. Changed Sudety to Plsen and Breslau to Wroclaw. Could you please change province #759's name from Diamentina to Diamantina if it's not too much trouble? It probably won't matter to this (or any future) thread, but it's a personal pet peeve of mine. Also Diamentina is just plain wrong.

Oh man, Wiz, I can't wait until you start the EU3 portion of the LP. For some reason I'm really digging the fact that Azerbaijan is so god drat tiny, should be a fine challenge. I wonder what the odds are of some major power in the area, like Persua, completely running poor Azerbaijan over within the first few updates.

Instead of hordes, I have a nomadic tech group, which Golden Horde is in. Countries in nomadic tech group: - Get bonuses to their shock, manpower and land forcelimits, and cheaper cavalry, but more expensive artillery and buildings. - Get awesome starting units, but never get any new units from tech. - Have the slowest tech speed. You can reform out of nomadic tech group with a decision that requires 0 or less centralization, 0 or less innovative and an ADM 7 ruler.

Gladi posted:Bright day Hello, fellow countryman! This kind of suggestions reminds me of the various nationalist groups from the Balkan area, which is kinda unpleasant. Though... Wiz did say he doesn't mind changing the province names... and ofter all, he's the one who made the amazing Historically Accurate Balkans mod. OK then, I took the liberty to reformulate your and steinrokkan's posts to an easy to use list: ---- * Erz (original) > "Reichenberg" (German name for the main town there) or "Liberec" (Czech name for the town). * Sudety (original) > Plzen (You wrote "Plsen", Wiz, which is a mash-up of the German and Czech spelling. This is a very, very minor nitpick.) ---- It would also be cool if you made one of the Bohemian provinces German in culture - ideally "Erz" (rename to "Reichenberg" if you use German culture). Bohemia used to have a huge German minority (about 1/3 of the population) but for some reason Paradox didn't notice in EU or CK (they got it right in Victoria, though). Yeah, I realise these changes are all prety minor but as long as we're talking about pet peeves...

Wiz posted:I'd rather keep Bohemia Czech, there's few enough Czech provinces and a ridiculous number of German ones. Fair enough. Speaking about minor cultures, are there any Wends left? I know that CK starts with a lot of pagan Wendish provinces on the German/Polish borders. By the end of the game, they've usually all been germanised. Did that happen even in this playthrough? I don't think we've seen the culture map. It might be nice to have Wendish Pommerania or something.

A player might be able to pull it off, starting with that many cores that won't decay is such a huge advantage it really breaks the difficulty of playing as a smaller nation.

I'd been assuming it wouldn't, although even with them it's a pretty challenging start. Wiz posted:Keep in mind the Latin Empire is an Italian vassal, so anyone that DOWs them will have to deal with Italy. Well, that reduces the chance they get killed early on, but in some ways it makes the start even harder. This isn't a criticism, though, there's nothing wrong with some countries having really rough starts!

Odds are the Latin Empire will be diploannexed by Italy and they won't be able to hold on to it because it is isolated and will spawn 12k rebel stacks.

Kainser posted:I've seen it happen quite a few times in Vanilla. Yeah, a messed-up Ottomans+Greek Patriot Rebels right off the bat will give the Byzantines most of Greece back, and if they're coupled with Bulgarian Nationalists they'll have a fully-cored, weak northern neighbor to prey on (as well as leaving Albania the only Ottoman province in Europe, and sometimes even that breaks off). I've seen some pretty powerful AI Byzantiums.

We had powerful Byzantium, powerful France and powerful Germany in the original Hohen LP, so I'm definitely pretty interested in seeing a timeline where they aren't major players- at least to the same extent. Even if we are going to be watching from the sidelines.
