How do I form Golden Horde anyway? I'm playing with Izium with Paganism, already conquered all province, but it only ever changed to Cumania. Did a lot of reload but Cumania is all that popped up.

Hello, I think Greece, Türkiye, Morocco, Spain, many Middle Eastern countries and North African countries are missing.
PanzerKumar 14 Aug, 2024 @ 6:20am 
I figured it out, thanks for the clarification and the overall guide created you guys are helping a lot. The game makers should create some basic guides and help text but that's not happening and hence your help is greatly appreciated. :steamthumbsup:
Crudelis 12 Aug, 2024 @ 12:57pm 
The names stated here are the province names, on the ingame map the city names are displayed.
Look at the end of following guide, there is a summary where both names are stated:

This is a great work... As the game lacks any official documents to help people your work is much appreciated.

But, Somehow the names are completely messed up in the game...

The names of most cities are not the same as those given here...

For example, the requirements to unite France are not the same in the game as given here...I find it very hard to search online for the historical context of each city name given here and to match it in the in-game map.

Any bright ideas?

Re: Golden Horde. Played as Alania with orthodox as my religion. When I captured the last territory I received two messages, Unite the Steppes as Cumans or as Golden Horde (I chose Golden Horde). Did not need to be pagan.

I found this after accidentally forming Spain yesterday in my first full run-through of the game as Castile. Nice little surprise for me.

Ruthenia was formed by ai in my game when I noticed them they own: Kyiv, zhytomyr, lutsk, bratislav, kamienets, halych, yash, rzeszow, cetatea alba

is there a way to unite aragon?
VanCro7 6 Apr, 2023 @ 12:21pm 
I think there are more formable nations. I may be mistaken but I think in one of dev playthroughs "Latium" was formed. So I presume there could be more.
