In the 1204 start date, added some scripting to make Kılıç Arslan III abdicate in favor of Keyhüsrev I after a few months (AI only).

Added mottos to Percy and Neville dynasties; Neville motto is left untranslated because it would ruin the pun.

Added titular duchies of Mainz and Trier.

Removed Chinese title history and characters to perhaps make it more compatible with mods that add East Asia. They never affected anything anyway.

Removed landless AI ability to swing scales of power since it seems to crash the game.

Set William d'Avesnes (1337) to have his starting capital in Hainaut instead of in Holland.

In 1337, added new de jure Duchy of Saxony (no longer using d_angria) to avoid nonsensical de jure territory. It is in the western half of vanilla Lausitz.

Changed Kufa to Imami.

Changed Batticaloa from Sinhalese to Tamil.

Farsi Shi'ite provinces no longer change to Qarmatian in 936.

Made Dithmarschen a vassal of the HRE in 1204 instead of Denmark.

Replaced placeholder character in Mangyshlak in 1337 with a Jochid.

Made Kilij Arslan II's sons be his vassals in 1187 (some of his sons remain unlanded because the county layouts don't match up with the territories they governed).

Added Lezgi culture in Derbent. Because there is no widely accepted Latin alphabet transliteration scheme, I made up my own. Name list might suck.

Added flavorization for Turkish royal princes (çelebi), for imperial princes and princesses (şehzade and hatun), and for queen mothers/empress mothers (valide hatun).

Modified Cadyou/Hamilton coat of arms to have ermine spots on the cinquefoils.

Made Shiraz-Farsi be called just Shiraz.

Merged Husaynid and Hasanid dynasties into an Alid dynasty.

Changed Edward III's education from stewardship to martial.

Changed Jean the Good's DNA and changed his beard.

No longer have a DLC check for characters' beards, since Paradox doesn't seem to care about that given they use DLC beards for many characters' fixed appearances.

Changed Frederick Barbarossa's hairstyle.

Changed Robert the Bruce's hairstyle and beard.

Revised death reasons of some characters from death_hunting_accident to different reasons, because the hunting accident death reason's text was changed to specify falling from a horse.

Made Robert d'Artois be in Edward III's court.

Added Darnley branch of the Stewart family (unlanded).

Corrected Stewarts of Menteiths from being of the original Menteith dynasty to being a new "de Menteith" FitzAlan cadet branch.

Changed Turkish equivalent of Queen from Sultan to Hatun (same as Empress and Princess).

Added hyphens to "the Bulgar-Slayer" and "the Roman-Slayer".

Changed German and Russian localization for Avaric from the equivalents of "Dagestani" to the equivalents of "Avar", since Lezgi is in the game as another Dagestani culture now; this has the problem of those languages having the same word for the Avars in the Pannonian basin (Awarisch, Avarskiy), though the noun is different in Russian (Avartsy vs Avary).

Renamed Urmiya to Urumiyah (medieval form of modern Orumiyeh), Ushnuya to Ushnaviyah (medieval form of modern Oshnaviyeh), Aba-Qomi to Farahan (was a duplicate of Aba in Hamadan), and Karaj-abu-Dulad to Karaj-abu-Dulaf.

#Additions

#Removals

#Misc. changes
Changed mod's "the Elder" to have a different key than the one in the base game (which didn't exist when I added it), since the description wouldn't make sense (my mod's "the Elder" nickname is the opposite of "the Younger" rather than meaning the person is old).

Changed Rus' (e_russia) coat of arms to have Rurikid coat of arms on top of the eagle instead of Muscovite coat of arms.

Made Delhi start with lower crown authority in 1337 so vassals can fight each other.

Made non-Muslim vassals of Muhammad bin Tughluq have religious protection.

Made 1337 the default bookmark instead of 1204, since I put the most work into 1337.

Adjusted Northeast Caucasian county layout.

Slightly changed Adhari culture's color to make it easier to distinguish from Caspian.

Altered Durdzuk, giving it is own language pillar and changing its pillars.

Changed Ziyarids from Persian to Caspian.

Renamed sons of 1337 Muzaffarid ruler to "Jalaluddin Shah Shoja" and "Mahmud".

Made Sisodia a cadet branch of Guhilot.

Changed ruler of Chitral in 1337 from Oghuz to Kashmiri.

#Title history changes
Made Crete/Malta independent and feudal in 1204.

Made Muzaffarid 1337 ruler hold all titles directly instead of having two counties held by his infant sons.

No longer have Baraq Hajib as a ruler in 1204 (ahistorical; he did not yet migrate to Iran).

Corrected starting capital of Sarbadars from Nishapur to Baihaq (AKA Sabzevar); AI will move it to Nishapur immediately, sadly.

Changed Almohad and Marinid court languages from Arabic to Berber.

Adjusted situation in eastern Arabia in 1337: Jarwanid ruler is now independent and controls more land to the northwest, but no longer controls al-Awal (Bahrain Island), which is now held directly by the Hormuzi ruler. (I had misinterpreted "Bahrain" as referring to the historical region and not the island.)

Adjusted de jure titles in Iberia (de jure Galicia, León, and València exist again, and Andalusia is spread further). The AI shouldn't create these titles. Rulers still only start with Galicia, León, and València as duchies because I don't want partitive inheritance or factions to split the kingdoms. The intent is to make the struggle ending decision easier.

No longer set Mongolian court language as Chinese in 1337 (now is Mongolic).

Adjusted 1337 Delhi, giving him several new vassals (a couple of which are not necessarily historical people, but Paradox does the same).

Changed localization of collective nouns for Belarusian, Great Russian, and Rus' in Russian localization.

Renamed Rajputana to Rajasthan (Rajputana is anachronistic).

Renamed some Northeast Caucasian titles.

Changed spellings of Durdzuk names to use a slightly modified version of the Chechen Latin alphabet instead of romanizing using Russian transliteration rules. Ƶ does not display in CK3 font so I substituted it with ž.

Update: 12 Apr, 2023 @ 1:22pm

#Additions
Added Arabic cultural name for Alarcos.

Added Dmytro Dedko as the count of Peremyshl in the Kingdom of Rus' in 1337.

Added custom scripting for Rus' in 1337 based around the build-up to the Galicia-Volhynia Wars. Liubartas starts as Yurii Boleslav's heir, but if Yurii Boleslav has a child, that child will be the heir. This scripting does not account for if Liubartas dies or Yurii Boleslav's child(ren) die. Additionally, if Liubartas inherits Rus', then the kingdom becomes independent from the Golden Horde. Lastly, the game begins with a murder plot active. Note: There is a bug where, for some reason, there is no game over if playing as Yurii Boleslav and dying without an heir, and it lets you continue as Liubartas.

Added more Circassian rulers in more start dates.

#Removals
Removed Great Russian cultural name of Berestye (Brest), as that name is derived from Polish.

Removed ability to play as Temüjin in 1187 until I fix Mongol invasion.

Added a few names to the Ruthenian name list.

Moved a coat of arms from the barony of Ostroh to the county it's in, Zaslav.

Replaced Yurievich coat of arm image with one that better matches the vanilla Rurikid tamghas in thickness.

Made it so that AI won't transfer Ryazan vassalship to Muscovy immediately at game start.

Made Romanian Struggle ending criteria easier; no other realm can have 30% instead of 20%.

#Culture changes
Adjusted hair color percent chances for Ruthenian and Novgorodian (not adjusted in CFP/EPE compatibility patch).

Made Turkish culture have a 10% chance to use Arab portraits and a 5% chance to use Asian portraits, instead of using Mediterranean portraits 100% of the time.

Split Iranian language pillar into Persian (Persian, Khorasani/Tajik, Luri) and Northwestern Iranian (Kurdish, Adhari, Caspian, Baluch).

Changed Arran to Turcoman in 1337.

Changed Talish to Adhari.

#Title history changes
Changed Navarrese court language from Ibero-Romance to Occitano-Romance (representing Navarro-Aragonese).

Navarrese court language is no longer changed to langue d'oïl in 1337.

Changed Moncastro (Cetatea Albă) to be held by the Genoese in 1337.

Swapped Obizzo and Niccolò in Ferrara/Modena.

Changed Cuneo to be a vassal of Naples in 1337.

Adjusted development in some locations in 1337.

Moved Volodymyr and Cherven from Lithuania to Rus' in 1337.

Made Belz the de jure capital of the Cherven Cities duchy in 1337, since Cherven was destroyed by the Mongols and Belz became more important. For the same reason, made Kholm the county capital of Cherven in 1337.

In 1337, changed Lithuanian court language to East Slavic.

Corrected title history of Rus'/Galicia-Volhynia.

Changed Arborea to independent in 1337.

Moved Safavids to Ardabil and added a new ruler of Gilan (mostly fictional due to lack of sources).

In the English localization, renamed the baronies of Luarca and Gijón to L.luarca and Xixón, renamed Mugan to Mughan, renamed Azov to Azaq, renamed Babruysk to Babrujsk, and renamed the Empire of Abyssinia to Ethiopia (kingdom remains the same).

In English, changed all instances of Rus' to Rus’.

Changed spelling of Khurshidi dynasty to Khorshidi.

Fixed Aragonese culture not being updated to use Occitano-Romance as its language like the current CK3 version.

Fixed Nuremberg 1337 realm capital not being set properly to Ansbach and 1081 Croatian capital not being properly set to Knin.

Fixed Chełmno being independent in 1081.
