Update: 13 Sep, 2021 @ 2:14pm

Additions
  • Re-added basic support for Russian, which I had silently removed in the last version. It is now up to date with the current version of the mod (with most of the mod's content in English, though title and culture names are translated, and some dynasty and character names are translated).
  • Added more Tatar male character names, from Golden Horde khans.
  • Added missing title history for some French counties.
  • Added some holders to certain areas of eastern Africa in 1337. Borders not final, and tribal governments may be replaced with clan/feudal later. Nubian/Coptic holders in Beja areas are inherited from CK2 and will likely be changed to Beja/Ash'ari in the future.
  • Added new bookmark descriptions for 936 and 1337 rulers except for Stefan Dušan. Provided by DarkyPwnz. Currently English localization only.
  • Added Zaydi Imamate title. Title history is incomplete for now, but its incompleteness doesn't affect gameplay.
  • Added de Balliol characters in 1187 and 1204 northern England. Due to lack of information, some fictional characters were created to fill the gaps and preserve family ties between the known people.
Changes
  • Changed Adrien, Prince-Bishop of Dole in 936, from French to Arpitan.
  • Made Brittany start at war with Nantes in 936, since it was in the process of reconquering it.
  • Renamed Tornsfall dynasty (a Norse dynasty in 936) to Törnsfall.
  • Changed Arpitan name "Savêtro" to "Savétro"
  • Replaced Albanian name "Skender" with "Aleksandri" (different Albanian equivalent of Alexander). This is because Skënder is inappropriate for CK2's timeframe, since it was borrowed from Arabic/Turkish (Iskandar/İskender).
  • Changed Gothic names "Saurus", "Thorismod", "Goiswinthia", and "Cixila" to "Sarus", "Thorismund", "Goiswintha", and "Cixilo".
  • Renamed al-Ikhshid to Muhammad, with al-Ikhshid as a nickname instead.
  • Changed deceased father of Muhammad al-Ikhshid (936 Egypt) to Karluk culture.
  • Added deceased father of Ahmad ibn Tulun (867 Egypt).
  • Changed one of Dyre the Stranger's traits from Bastard to Bastard Founder.
  • Made al-Abbas (firstborn son of Ahmad ibn Tulun, who was added as part of the Holy Fury/Iron Century character data) hold the duchy of Cyrenaica in 867.
  • Changed Olaf Guthfrithson's pressed claim on Northumbria to an unpressed claim on York, since he ruled southern Northumbria (represented in CK3 by the Duchy of York).
  • Gave Eirik Bloodaxe an unpressed claim on York.
  • Changed York's title history between 936 and 1066.
  • Changed Russia's de jure capital from Kiev to Moscow in the 1337 start date.
  • CFP/EPE compatibility patch only: Changed Turkish culture's clothing from Iranian to MENA, and gave them a chance of using Seljuk graphical culture instead of only Greek graphical culture.
  • Made Tabriz Oghuz in 1187 onward.
  • Changed Mat (Arbanon) from Catholic to Orthodox in 1337. Durrës was kept as Catholic.
  • Gave Sultanate of Mesopotamia (Iraq) to the Abbasid Caliph in 1187 and 1204.
  • Merged Shansabani and Ghurid dynasties in 936 since they are two different names for the same dynasty.
  • Made Ruthenia be called "Kievan Rus'" in 936.
  • Removed German "Vegl" cultural name for Krk.
  • Removed Greek "Polai" cultural name for Pula.
  • Made Labourd stay Basque in 1187 and onward, even though the province is too large, I thought it was better this way.
  • Gave Charles of Alençon and Chartres in 1337 the nickname "the Magnanimous".
  • Made Hugh the Great, duke of Anjou in 936, have the counts of Maine and Anjou as vassals.
  • Made the count of Blois and Chartres a direct vassal of France in 1187 and 1204.
  • Changed dynasty of Maria, wife of Charles the Magnanimous, from her mother's dynasty to her father's dynasty.
  • Changed Rouen's holder in 1337 from Philippe d'Évreux to a bishop named Pierre-Roger (aka Clement VI), who is a vassal to France.
  • Changed David II of Scotland and Joan of England's marriage in 1337 to a betrothal.
  • Made Giovanna of Naples be betrothed to Andrea of Calabria in 1337.
  • Switched wives of Joscelin de Courtenay (i.e. made his living wife in 1066 dead, and his dead wife in 1066 alive, and switched children's parentage). He also now holds Montargis in 1066 instead of his wife as a result, since she is dead.
  • Gave Árpád Zolta the raider trait.
  • Removed nemesis relationship between Hakon the Good and Eirik Bloodaxe.
  • Added exception for Aquitaine so that it can't be created on confederate partition if the character holds France.
  • Renamed Raoul of France to Rodolphe, because, while conventionally called Raoul, he called himself Rodulfus, as did contemporary documents.
  • Gave "the Black" nickname to Hugues of Burgundy in 936.
  • Added fixed traits and base stats for Hugh the Great that he had in CK2's Iron Century.
  • Changed East Francia's adjective from East Franconian to East Francian; I assume it was an error on Paradox's part.
  • Changed Bologna's adjective from Bolognian to Bolognese.
  • Changed Verona's adjective from Veronian to Veronese.
  • Made the Maldives Muslim and independent in start dates from 1187 onward.
  • Changed Rasulid (Yemeni) capital in 1337 to Zabid, and gave the Rasulids the Sultanate of Yemen title.
  • Changed Mahra's holder in start dates from 1187 onward to the Ayyubids (1187, 1204)/Rasulids (1337).
  • Gave Garen dynasty a coat of arms.
  • Renamed Drăgoșești dynasty to Drăgoșescu (changing from plural to singular).
  • Put a university in Zabid in all dates.
  • Put a university in Oxford and Cambridge in dates after 1096 and 1209, respectively.
  • Gave Frederick Barbarossa the Crusader trait in 1187 since he already participated in the Second Crusade.
  • Changed "Orhan Osmanoğlu" to "Orhan Gazi" on the 1337 bookmark screen.
  • Made Ferlix and Penllyn vassals of Llywelyn the Great in 1204.
Bug fixes
    Fixed error where Trebizond's title history had every character listed twice.
  • Disabled Switzerland formation decision in 1337 since Switzerland already exists there.
  • Corrected Alarcon still being Visigothic in 936.
  • Corrected spelling of Croatian cultural name that I applied to Szerém (Sjirem --> Srijem).
  • Corrected Pecheneg duke of Halych in 936 from feudal to tribal.
  • Fixed error where two unrelated characters in 936 shared the same dynasty (Taremaa). A new dynasty (Latgale) has been created.
  • Fixed Gaelic culture not having a color set when using the EPE/CFP compatibility patch.
  • Fixed Hugh the Great not being married to Eadhild of England in 936.
  • Removed duplicate of Heinrich der Löwe.

Update: 4 Sep, 2021 @ 7:33am

Additions
  • Added decision for the Sultan of Rum to change realm culture from Oghuz to Turkish. French localization currently not added.
  • Added decision to form the Kingdom of Albania in start dates other than 1337 (where it already exists). It can be done either as an independent Albanian duke of Durrës or as the king of Sicily. French localization currently not added.
  • Added prefix for Sicily (Siculo-).
  • Added some more character names for Arpitan culture.
  • Added missing county holders in 1204 k_kipchak.
  • Added a Circassian ruler of Zichia in 1204 named Tukar, who was supposedly killed defending against the Mongols circa 1237. No other information about him exists (such as when his reign started), so I gave it the benefit of the doubt and added him as a character to make the map more interesting.
  • Added titular duchy of Zichia used for the Zichian rulers in 1204 and 1337.
  • Added Seljuk-Rum cadet branch of the Seljuk dynasty.
Changes
  • Changed the following Anatolian counties to start as Oghuz/Maturidi in 1081: Kapadokya, Zengibar Kalesi, Alt Galatya, Harsianon, Kayseri, Azysia, Elbistan, Batı Galatya, Likaonya, Bozkır.
  • Removed Thessalian and Thessalonian counties from Alexios Komnenos's personal domain, and gave them to his brother Isaakios as a vassal. This is ahistorical, but it was done to make the Byzantines have fewer levies.
  • Gave Isaakios (brother of Alexios Komnenos) a pressed claim on the duchy of Antioch in 1081.
  • Corrected spelling of Basiliakos dynasty to Basilakios.
  • Made church holdings a valid holding for the non-playable fake holy orders.
  • Renamed Angouleme to Angoulême. Renamed Abauj to Abaúj.
  • Removed custom "Powys Fadog" and "Powys Wenwynwyn" names for Penllyn and Ferlix that had been applied in 1187 and later.
  • Replaced fictional(?) Guglielmo de Larsa, count of Demetrias and Neopatras in 1204, with Othon de la Roche (lord of Athens), who has been given a pressed claim on the duchy of Athens.
  • Changed characters of the Genève, Savoie, and Forez dynasties from French/Occitan to Arpitan (changing most of the characters' names to Franco-Provençal forms in the process), and renamed the dynasties to Geneva, Savouè, and Forês.
  • Renamed Sheperds of the Romans mercenary company to Shepherds of the Romans.
  • Moved Stefan Dušan's event troops' location from Skopje to Dibër.
  • Changed Abaúj and Zemplén to Slovak (Slovien) culture in 1066 and later.
  • Represented Carpathian Rus': changed Ungvár and Bereg to Rus' culture in 936 and later. Máramaros was also changed to Rus' in 936 and later, except in 1337 where it is still Vlach.
  • Made Hotin stay Rus' in 1337 instead of turning Vlach.
  • Changed Hotin to be part of the Principality of Halych in 1187 and later instead of being owned by Cumans/Tatars.
  • Leveled up the Hotin Fortification building in 1337.
  • Filled some holdings (mainly in Hungary) in later dates.
  • Altered French localization to refer to Muscovy as a grand duchy and its ruler as grand duke, instead of grand principality and grand prince. While modern historiography refers to it as a grand principality, older sources called it a grand duchy (e.g. Estat de l'Empire de Russie et grande duché de Moscovie, written by Jacques Margaret in 1607). This also distinguishes it from the duchy rank grand principalities.
  • Gave baronies in the de jure Kingdom of Thessalonika (that had buildings in 867 and 1066) upgraded buildings in later dates.
  • Adjusted borders in 1187/1204 Transoxiana.
  • Made "Negroponte", "Candia", and "La Canea" cultural names also apply to the capital baronies.
  • Changed names of some Croatian kings from Kresimir to Krešimir.
  • Changed Ildeguzids of Azerbaijan in 1204 from Persian to Oghuz (but changed the dynasty founder from Oghuz to Kipchak).
  • Fixed omission that I had made when changing Baranis to Maghrebi in Sicily/Malta in start dates other than 867/1066/1081: Made Maghrebi culture valid for the Sicilian culture spread events. Maghrebi holders of Baranis counties won't trigger the Sicilian culture event, and neither will Baranis holders of Maghrebi counties.
  • Removed Malta from the "Special Sicilian Culture" region so that Sicilian culture won't spread to it automatically with the event, and it will stay Maghrebi/Baranis unless changed with the steward task.
  • Gave Alexios Megas Komnenos a pressed claim on Tmutarakan in 1204.
  • Changed al-Nasir Muhammad (Sultan of Egypt in 1337), his dead brothers, and his children to Kipchak culture. This has the unfortunate side effect of his title changing from Sultan to Khan.
  • Changed Visigothic in 936 al-Andalus (which I had originally kept there to simulate Mozarabs) to Andalusian (for Muslim counties) or Galician/Leonese/Castilian/Aragonese/Catalan (for Catholic counties).
Bug fixes
  • Made Order Member trait thing only apply to AI in case a player swears fealty and is granted a title, or if a player grants a title to a character with the trait and inherits the title when that character dies.
  • Fixed capital barony of Isauria having the wrong Oghuz/Turkish cultural name.
  • Fixed error where count of Friuli/Treviso had the wrong liege in 1066 and 1081.
  • Fixed Illyricum region, removing Carinthia and adding Lower Bosnia.
  • Fixed some instances of missing localization (two Albanian dynasty names, multiplayer start date descriptions).
  • Fixed some typos.

Update: 28 Aug, 2021 @ 12:43pm

HOTFIX: Changed Order Member trait thing to be done only via inheritance and title grants, so that conquering provinces won't give the order member trait.

Update: 28 Aug, 2021 @ 12:01pm

Additions
  • Added Petty King of Munster to 936. Due to lack of a suitable county (CK2's Locha Léin and Desmond being a single county of Desmond), and because I didn't want to get rid of the vassal in Desmond, he holds Ennis when he should be in the Cork region (CK2's Desmond).
  • Added Lorraine conquest story event (which should trigger 1-2 years after game start) and Italian conquest story event (which should trigger 10-15 years after game start). These events may be buggy. The AI will currently reject the option to do the war with Lorraine and France, but will do the war with Italy. For both events, the option to start the war will not be present if Otto is allied with the potential target.
  • Made rulers of the landed fake holy order government type use holy order clothing. However, they do not do so when using the EPE/CFP compatibility patch, because, when I applied the exact same change to the compatibility patch, it inexplicably made almost everyone outside of western Europe either become shirtless, wear a holy order helmet, or both.
  • Added fixed appearances for 936 bookmark characters.
  • Added Eirik Bloodaxe to Hakon's window on the 936 bookmark screen.
  • Added nicknames for some Welsh characters: "the Little" (translation of Fychan), "the Old" (translation of Hen), and "the Younger" (translation of Ieuaf). For characters whose in-game names contained their byname (Fychan/Hen/Ieuaf), it has been removed from their name and replaced with the nickname.
  • Added missing holder of Speyer/Worms in 1081 (Engelbert von Sponheim; these counties seem to represent Sponheim in 1066 despite Sponheim being a barony in Koblenz in the game).
  • Horse archers are now available to the Turkish, Chagatai, and Tatar cultures. Hussars are now available to the Slovene culture. Picchieri are now available to the Dalmatian culture. Mubarizun are now available to the Coptic culture.
  • Added blurbs for bookmark characters who had not had them. I tried to make them more of the CK3 style rather than the CK2 style. Ones from CK2, along with Uroš Dušan's and Ivan Kalita's, will be rewritten later to fit the CK3 style. French localization courtesy of Aliocha.
  • Added death reason for Frederick Barbarossa in the history (death by drowning).
  • Added Turkish/Oghuz cultural names of the kingdoms of Nikaea and Trebizond, using the same names as the counties.
  • Added Arpitan (Franco-Provençal) culture, present in the following provinces: Besançon, Chalon, Dole, Neuchâtel, Mâcon, Bresse, Geneva, Aosta, Forez, Lyon, Savoie, Viennois. No characters are currently set to start with this culture, and no titles have cultural names for it.
  • While Frisian culture is not a new culture added by this mod, it isn't used at all in unmodded CK3 other than in leftover history data for 769, so this kind of counts as an addition: Westfriesland, Frisia, Dokkum, and Ostfriesland have been changed to Frisian culture, and characters of the "Cirksena" dynasty of Ostfriesland in 1337 are now Frisian.
Changes
  • Adjusted parts of India in 936 that I accidentally forgot to adjust the history files from vanilla CK3.
  • Changed al-Jannabi dynasts from Bedouin culture to Persian culture, except for Abu Tahir and his brother.
  • Renamed Abu Tahir's father from Sa'id to Abu Sa'id.
  • Made Abu Sa'id be Isma'ili in 867 instead of Qarmatian.
  • Changed Iraqi and Iranian Isma'ili counties to Qarmatian in 936.
  • Made Ardabil Mazdayan in 936.
  • Added Vengeful trait to Olga (wife of Igor the Old in 936).
  • Changed Mozhaysk to Rus' culture in 936.
  • Gave duchy of Connacht to Tadg mac Cathail in 936, and duchy of Meath to Donnchad Donn in 936.
  • Made Oriel independent in 936.
  • Removed Kingdom of Mann and the Isles title from Olaf Guðfriðsson in 936.
  • Gave kingdom of Ireland to Flann Sinna in Ireland's title history.
  • Changed Al-Qatif back to a castle holding in 936.
  • Changed Buyid brothers in 936 from Persian/Isma'ili to Daylamite/Twelver; their deceased parents were changed to Daylamite/Zaydi.
  • Changed a few Avar provinces in 867 (Keve, Temes, Krassó, Hunyad, Fogaras, and Barcaság) to Vlach/Orthodox (same provinces that are Vlach in 936). 1066 and 1081 are still untouched from vanilla with regard to what counties are Vlach, however. Additionally, Iași and Orhei were made Vlach in 1187 to have an artificial bridge between the Moldavian cultural borders of 1066 and 1337.
  • Made Telegdi a cadet branch of Csanád.
  • The Duchy of Bar has been made de jure Lotharingia in 936 so that the event-called war can be performed properly (will be reverted should I find a better method).
  • Made Ferrara feudal in 1187/1204.
  • Switched Just trait for Callous trait for Dietrich von Altenburg.
  • Removed two of Erik Bloodaxe's five personality traits, since 3 is the standard in CK3.
  • Re-dumped custom bookmark portraits so the correct beards and hairstyles will show up on the bookmark screen when using CFP/EPE compatibility patch. Some characters' clothing colors on that screen will have changed as a result.
  • Changed Upper Lorraine's de jure capital from Trier to Nancy in all start dates.
  • Changed Samiran's holder in 936.
  • Made Tmutarakan stay Circassian/Orthodox in 1187 onward instead of becoming Cuman (1187/1204) and Greek (1337).
  • Changed Sponheim dynasty members from Saxon to Franconian.
  • Changed holder of the duchy (march) of Krain (Carniola) in 1066, 1081, 1187, and 1204.
  • Removed duchy of Alania title from Alan vassal of Golden Horde in 1337; now he is just count of Maghas and Carbadinia.
  • Renamed Mercaeur to Mercœur. Renamed Uses to Usès (Occitan name of Uzès). Renamed Cevennes to Cévennes. Renamed Moutiers to Moûtiers. Renamed Besancon to Besançon. Renamed Neuchatel to Neuchâtel.
  • Switched Duchy of Thrace's holder in 1204 from Theodoros Laskaris to Baldwin of Flanders. Switched Duchy of Paphlagonia's holder from Alexios of Trebizond to Alexios, brother of Theodoros Laskaris, who already had the counties. Made the duchies of Strymon not have a holder in 1204.
  • Gave Enrique Alfónsez de Trastámara a pressed claim to Castile since he doesn't get automatic claims as a Bastard Founder.
  • Made David, brother of Alexios of Trebizond in 1204, a member of the Megas Komnenos cadet branch.
  • Reduced Bulgarian Empire decision requirements from a realm size of 60 counties to one of 50 counties.
  • Made Kaloyan of Bulgaria start allied to the khan of Cumania in 1204.
  • Changed Valentinois's culture to Occitan.
  • Changed Thouars's culture to French in 1337.
  • Added Just and Ambitious traits to Suleyman ibn Qutalmish and increased his martial education trait from level 2 to level 4.
  • Changed Honorias's holder in 1204 to David (Megas) Komnenos as a vassal of Trebizond.
  • Removed Neuenburg cultural name that I had added for Neuchâtel.
  • Changed Ostfriesland from a vassal of Holland to a vassal of Saxony in 1337.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed omission where Uusimaa and Circassia cultural names for Nyland and Alania weren't in French, German, or Spanish localizations.
  • Fixed typo that resulted in Mozhaysk not having the proper holder in 936.
  • Fixed typo that resulted in French localization for 936 bookmark screen not showing up.
  • Fixed error where Chalon was independent in 1066.
  • Corrected Kõszegi dynasty name to Kőszegi (Paradox's error).
  • Corrected sex of Garsinde de Béziers in Béziers's title history.
  • Fixed new leaders of the fake holy order government type not getting the Order Member trait,
  • Fixed typo that resulted in Waddan having the wrong holder after 936
  • Fixed hovering over Eudes's uncle in 867 bookmark screen saying that he is 10 years old instead of 46.
  • Corrected liege of count of Pecheneg/Yaitsk in 1204 to Cumania.
  • Corrected spelling of Futuwaa to Futuwwa.
  • Fixed duchy of Thessali having an unlanded holder in the 1204 start date.

Update: 19 Aug, 2021 @ 8:13pm

Additions
  • Added 936 start date. No scripted story events have been included yet, and many locations on the map are unfinished (such as Siberia, Subsaharan Africa, and the steppes). Bookmark characters also don't have scripted appearances. These things will be finished on a later date.
  • Added Bulgarian and Oghuz/Turkish cultural names of Adrianople (Odrin and Edirne).
  • Added coat of arms for Bahrain; it is extremely anachronistic as it is based on the modern country's coat of arms, but a coat of arms is needed for the 936 bookmark screen and that was the best option I could think of (if anyone has any better ideas, let me know).
  • Added Finnish cultural name of Nyland (Uusimaa).
  • Added Circassian culture, and an independent Circassian count of Zichia in 1337. Character names are from EU4, while dynasty names were provided by Patlichan.
  • Added Dragoș (who would become the first prince of Moldavia) as the count of Máramaros in 1337, replacing the son of Meggyesi Miklós. Dragoș is a direct vassal of Hungary and not a vassal of Transylvania. He has claims on the Moldavian duchies.
  • Added a count named Lack of the Hermán dynasty in 1337 Transylvania (count of Csanád, Arad, and Hunyad). His sons Lackfi István and Lackfi András have claims on Transylvania.
  • Added Balgarsko dynasty coat of arms (based on the one from CK2) and Asen dynasty coat of arms.
  • Made cultures start with heraldry in 1187 and 1204.
  • Added a count of Velbazhd in 1337 Serbia named Jovan Oliver of the Grčinić dynasty.
Changes
  • Changed Castelo Branco from Asturleonese to Galician in 1066 and 1081 (and 936).
  • Removed kingdom of Serbia title in 1187 and 1204 as Serbia did not become a kingdom until 1217 (rulers are now dukes of Raška and Zeta). They have enough counties to form Serbia as soon as they get enough gold, though.
  • Made Raška (Serbia) slightly bigger in 1187 and 1204 by adding Zelengora and Zahumlje (cf. CK2).
  • Set Petar II/IV of Bulgaria (1187 ruler, called Petar III in the game) to have Teodor as his birth name.
  • Changed 1081 Annandale holder.
  • Pula is now Croatian culture in 1066 and 1081.
  • Pitten is now Slovene culture in 867 (and 936).
  • Made Otakeren a cadet branch of Aribonen.
  • Made Gascogne area Basque in 867 (and 936), like CK2. It also makes the Basque dukes there make more sense. Labourd remains Basque in 1066, like how CK2 has Marsan and Dax stay Basque in 1066. No county in Gascogne is Basque in 1187 onward, however, since CK3 Labourde is too large compared to CK2 Dax.
  • Made de Béarn and de Comminges cadet branches of de Vasconia.
  • Renamed Bearn to Béarn. Renamed Chalons to Châlons. Renamed Macon to Mâcon. Renamed Marmaros to Máramaros. Renamed Brasso (capital barony of Barcaság) to Brassó. Renamed Csanad to Csanád. Renamed Gyor and Györ to Győr. Renamed Visegrad (Hungarian duchy and county) and Hungarian barony of Višegrad to Visegrád. Renamed szászkézd to Szászkézd. Renamed Uwal (modern day Bahrain Island) to Awal. Renamed Coruna to Coruña. Renamed A Corunnã to A Coruña. Renamed Ipuskoa to Gipuzkoa. Renamed Viscaya to Vizcaya.
  • Changed unavailable decisions in later start dates from being decision criteria to having the flags already be set in those dates (doesn't really affect gameplay but is a better way of doing it).
  • Changed Karakorum back to Kerait/Nestorian in 1187 since Temüjin didn't conquer it yet.
  • Changed Wallachia and Moldavia to be called "principalities" instead of kingdoms and their rulers "princes" instead of kings.
  • Adjusted Laskaris coat of arms.
  • Changed Ibadi counties in de jure Africa to Ashari in 1187 onward, like CK2.
  • Changed Zayyanids and Tudjinids from Baranis to Butr.
  • Changed German localization's name of Muscovy from Moskowien to Moskau.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed an error I made where 1066 Annandale had the wrong holder, which had resulted in the duke of Strathclyde being unlanded.
  • Updated Harald Fairhair to current CK3 version where he is Harald Tanglehair in 867 start date and has harald_tanglehairs_vow_modifier character flag.
  • Fixed history error with Uiska, Uraltau, and Karabash.
  • Made Carantania de jure HRE instead of Germania in 1066 and later.
  • Fixed an error by Paradox where countries could only start with high partition if their culture had Heraldry but not Hereditary Rule, which was supposed to be that it has Heraldry but not Primogeniture.

Update: 9 Aug, 2021 @ 11:13am

Additions
  • Added more French translated material courtesy of Aliocha.
  • Filled in holders for 1204/1337 de jure kingdoms of Ob, Angara, Khakassia, and Tuva. The chieftains within the latter three are vassals of Mongolia in 1337.
  • Added dynasty coat of arms for Farnese, Montefeltro, Este (Bonifazi), Gonzaga, Polenta.
  • Added dynasty motto for Gonzaga, "Lead us to the mountain" (Ad montem duc nos).
  • Added (anachronistic) dynasty motto for Stewart, "Courage grows strong at a wound" (Virescit vulnere virtus).
Changes
  • Added Stuttering trait to Michael the Stammerer in Byzantine title history.
  • Changed Naiman dynasty from Mongol to Naiman culture, and Buryat dynasty from Mongol to Buryat culture.
  • Changed Karakorum to Mongol/Tengri in 1187/1204 and Mongol/Nangchos in 1337.
  • Corrected position of the Central Asian Kirghiz culture borders in 1337, and did other cultural and title adjustments around the area for 1337.
  • Changed Scala and Gonzaga dynasties from Italian to Cisalpine.
  • Changed Bologna to feudal in 1337.
  • Gave the county of Veneto to Verona in 1337.
  • Renamed "Polentano" dynasty to "da Polenta".
  • Corrected counts of Zollern to be the Hohenzollern dynasty (title history imported from CK2 barony with addition of Burchard I). This also affects 1066, meaning you can play as the Hohenzollerns in 1066 now.
  • Corrected Hohenberg's title history to have Hohenzollern counts of Hohenberg from 1120 onward (title history imported from CK2 barony).
  • Renamed Zollern to Hohenzollern in 1204 and 1337.
  • Gave Ansbach to Nordgau (Franconian Hohenzollerns) in 1337.
  • Changed Palaiologos dynasty's coat of arms from the vanilla game's cross to a more appropriate double-headed eagle with three crowns.
  • Changed Paleologo Montferrato coat of arms; the new one is anachronistic, but it has basis in reality unlike the previous one I used.
  • Changed names of Irish-cultured characters of Anglo-Norman families to the Irish forms of the names.
  • Changed more Anglo-Norman characters in 1337 Ireland to Irish culture; the only living ones that are affected by this are Edmund de Burgh (now Éamonn) and his sister.
  • Added disinherited trait to Maud (elder sister of David de Brus, king of Scotland in 1337) so that Robert Stewart is heir presumptive.
  • Corrected Robert Stewart's birth date.
  • For accuracy: Renamed Robert Stewart's wife to Elizabeth, changed her age, gave her a Mure dynasty, and changed her and Robert Stewart's daughter into an infant son named John (future Robert III).
  • Changed Ayrshire to Scots culture in 1337.
  • Reverted Gowrie culture change from previous version, so it is now Gaelic in 1337 again.
  • Made it so that Angus and the Mearns do not change culture to Scots in 1187 and are Gaelic in all start dates except 867.
  • Changed culture of some Mamluk sultans in the history (does not affect gameplay): Baibars I, al-Said Barakah, Solamish, and Qalawun (though not Qalawun's children) to Kipchak, and Kitbugha to Mongol. Baibars II was not changed because there is no Circassian culture in the game.
  • Removed Banu Kanz dynasty from Beja areas in 1337.
  • Changed some Nubian counties to feudal in later dates.
  • Renamed Niš (c_pomoravlje) to Pomoravlje (after its internal name), and instead made Niš the Bulgarian/Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian/Slovene cultural name of Naissus (c_naissus) instead, since Naissus and Niš are two different names for the same place and not two separate places.
  • Renamed Chatenois and Chateauneuf dynasties to Châtenois and Châteauneuf.
  • Renamed Branicevo barony to Braničevo.
  • Made Skopje Orthodox instead of Bogomilist in 1337.
  • Filled some more holdings in later dates.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed Sevsk not having a holder set in 1204 which resulted in it being an independent county.
  • Fixed 1066 countess of Hohenberg being the mother of her son's children (vanilla CK3 error).
  • Made Trebizond lover thing from last version actually work; I had misformatted it so it didn't work.
  • Fixed vanilla error where barony of Segura (b_segura) was incorrectly called Albacete, which already exists as a separate barony (b_albacete).

Update: 5 Aug, 2021 @ 10:24am

The mod has a new name: "Additional start dates and cultures".

Additions
  • Linked Tudur dynasty (aka Tudor, counts of Anglesey/Ynys Môn in 1187, 1204, and 1337, future kings of England) to the Brynffenigl dynasty that Paradox put in the 1066 start date, by adding the father and grandfather of Ednyfed Fychan (count of Anglesey/Ynys Môn in 1187). Tudur is still a separate dynasty and not a cadet branch, however.
Changes
  • Renamed Masri (Egyptian) from egipcia to masrí in Spanish and from égyptienne to masri in French. Currently still called Ägyptisch in German.
  • Set "Eirene" (mother of Basileios of Trebizond's bastard children in 1337) as Basileios of Trebizond's lover.
  • Changed Baranis to Maghrebi for Sicily and Malta in 1187, 1204, and 1337 (Malta only in the last one), because they weren't really Berbers (they are still Berber in 1066/1081 because of the Berber counts ruling it, however).
  • Reduced starting fervor in 1187 and 1204 for Catholicism (1187 only), Ash'arism, and Almohadism from 100% to 75%.
  • Reduced Catholicism's fervor in 1204 back to 50% because they just won the Fourth Crusade. Instead, Orthodoxy gets the fervor boost to 75% since they just lost.
  • Renamed Orleans (duchy and county) to Orléans.
  • Made certain cultural and regional innovations unlocked by default for some cultures in later start dates.
  • Re-renamed Latvian (vanilla: Latgalian) to Lettish (older term used before the creation of the Latvian state). Note: The reason I renamed it from the vanilla name in the first place was because the Latgalians were only one of the four Baltic tribes represented with the in-game culture.
  • Changed Gowrie to Scots culture in 1337.
  • Changed de León dynasty in León's title history to a cadet branch of Lywigildinga.
  • Corrected Aimery de Lusignan's capital in 1187 to Acre.
  • Removed unlanded "holy orders" in 1187 and 1204 because they were bugged and turned feudal for an unknown reason; they were purely cosmetic so nothing of value is lost.
  • Changed "Kanzid" dynasty in 1337 to the Banu Kanz dynasty because they are intended to be the same but Kanzid was the old Ck2 version and Banu Kanz is the CK3 version.
  • Corrected spelling of Rajasthan (from "Rajastan").
  • Renamed Cerdanya to Cerdagne in the French localization.
  • Changed Ednyfed Fychan from lv 4 stewardship education to lv 3 martial education.
  • Corrected adjective of Trebizond/Trapezous (the county) to Trapezuntine.
  • Changed a Bori vassal in 1337 Kanem-Bornu to Ash'ari.
  • Added diacritics to more Turkish names.
Bug fixes
  • Fixed Coptic culture erroneously being called Coptisme, Koptentum, and Coptismo in French, German, and Spanish due to the internal name being the same as that of the faith. I fixed this by changing the internal name of the Coptic culture (from "coptic" to "coptic_egyptian"). A duplicate with the old internal name (that has the name bug) was added for compatibility with pre-existing saves with earlier versions of the mod. The compatibility duplicate will be removed when I update the mod for the upcoming CK3 cultural overhaul.
  • Fixed Messina being Catholic instead of Orthodox in 1066 and 1081.
  • Fixed error where Occitan-cultured d'Urgells were a separate dynasty.

Update: 2 Aug, 2021 @ 12:29pm

Additions
  • Added coat of arms for Pula.
  • Added new coat of arms for Cerdanya used in non-867 dates.
  • Added prefix for Portugal (Luso-).
  • Added Italian/Cisalpine/etc. cultural name for Theodosia (Caffa), though this will rarely be seen in practice.
  • Added Turkish/Oghuz cultural name for Philippopolis (Filibe).
  • Re-added the Goths and Vandals to the title histories of Italy and Africa because I thought it was fun that they were in there in CK2. Unlike CK2, I also put Odoacer in Italy's title history. They are portrayed as Catholic due to lack of Arian faith in the game, and Vandals are the generic "German" culture due to lack of Vandalic culture.
  • Applied the Bolghar/Komi/Bashkir cultural title names to Tatar.
Changes
  • Renamed county of Vendome to Vendôme.
  • Altered Bari's title history in dates from 1187 onward, and renamed it to Taranto in those dates.
  • Renamed Île de France to Île-de-France.
  • Except in Spanish localization, renamed Cerdaña to Cerdanya (changing from the Castilian name to the Catalan name).
  • Gave Montpellier, Cerdanya, and Girona to Majorca in 1337.
  • Made Xèrica and Ayerbe dynasties be Barcelonian cadet branches.
  • Made Majorcan Barcelonian dynasty members be of a cadet branch (de Mallorca); it split off earlier than the Sicilian branch (which Paradox had assigned a cadet branch), so I thought it made sense.
  • Made count of Vestrland and Suðrland in Iceland in 1187 and 1204 be feudal instead of tribal.
  • Applied Turkish name changes from last mod update to French localization.
  • Changed names of Uroš II and Uroš III of Serbia to Uroš II Milutin and Uroš III Dečanski.
  • Adjusted Tatar culture's color.
  • Renamed Ebu'l-Kasım and Ebu'l-Gazi to Abu'l-Qasim and Abu'l-Ghazi (changing from Turkish forms to more conventional forms).
  • In 1337, changed Gdańsk to Saxon culture and gave it lower development to represent that the Teutonic Order massacred the Poles there and destroyed the city when they took it in 1308.
  • Changed Karl (firstborn son of John of Bohemia, future Charles IV of HRE) to Czech culture because, according to Wikipedia, he had a "lifelong affinity for the Czech side of his inheritance". Also added a separate birth name for him ("Václav") and gave him the duchy of Moravia.
  • Added Václav II of Bohemia to Poland's title history since he was crowned king.
  • Removed elective succession law for Bohemia in 1337.
  • Changed Southern Baltic Empire's adjective from "Wendish" (relic from old CK2 name) to "Southern Baltic".
  • Gave Duchy of Barcelona to Aragonese kings from 1164 onward instead of it being destroyed, and renamed it to Catalonia in start dates from 1187 onward (Principality of Catalonia).
  • Changed Aragon's adjective from Aragonian to Aragonese.
  • Adjusted coat of arms of House Ponce de León.
  • Changed the culture of Mecklenburg from Polabian to Saxon in 1337.
  • Changed Tancredi de Hauteville (vassal of Sicily in 1187, future king) from a bastard to a legitimized bastard so that his dynasty doesn't change if he has another child.
  • Improved Anjou-Durazzo's coat of arms.
  • In 1337, made Bari/Taranto use the Angevin Tarentine coat of arms.
  • Changed Duchy of Durazzo to use the Angevin Durazzo coat of arms in 1337.
  • Altered title history of Chaldia to be owned by the holder of Trapezous.
  • Adjusted Laskaris coat of arms.
Bug fixes
  • Changed Tinibeg (heir of Özbeg Khan) from feudal to clan government in 1337 (fixing my mistake from the last version).
  • Fixed error in the Gothic name list where characters would be named "Symeon_Simon" instead of "Symeon".
  • Added missing localization for "Tatar" and "Megas Komnenos" in French.

Update: 25 Jul, 2021 @ 2:25pm

Additions
  • Added Albanian cultural name for the barony of Hiskampis (Elbasan).
  • Added Italian and Albanian cultural names for Buthrotum (Butrinto and Butrint, respectively).
  • Added Bulgarian cultural name for Philippopolis (Plovdiv).
  • Added coats of arms for the following dynasties and houses: Marinid, Zayyanid, Hafsid, Terter, de València (Ivrea), von Schauenburg.
  • Filled a few holdings in later dates, but not widespread.
  • Added Tatar culture for the Golden Horde. It represents the Volga Tatars and the Turco-Mongol ruling class of the Golden Horde. Tatar culture has been made unique in that it can always raid even if not tribal or if one has a non-unreformed faith (unless of a pacifist faith). Character/dynasty name lists are currently almost the same as Bashkir.
  • Added French localization courtesy of Aliocha.
Changes
  • Changed Hashshashin grandmasters from Isma'ili to Nizari.
  • Changed al-Nizar (namesake of the Nizaris, firstborn son of the Fatimid Caliph in 1066 and 1081) from Isma'ili to Nizari because I thought it made sense.
  • Renamed Tamerlane from "Timur" to "Temür".
  • Changed the male Chagatai name list so that it isn't just a combination of the Karluk and Mongol names. Female list is not done.
  • Adjusted religious and cultural borders of Egypt, mostly in later start dates but also in Sinai in all start dates (moving Masri to county of Sinai, making other two counties Bedouin).
  • Changed Duchy of Antioch's adjective from Antiochian to Antiochene.
  • Corrected Socotran rulers in later start dates from Bedouin to Yemeni.
  • Renamed barony of Kukes to Kukës.
  • Changed Serbian Empire requirements to be a region instead of being completely controlling duchies and counties (doesn't affect gameplay, just presentation).
  • Gave Buthrotum to Naples in 1337 (specifically, held the Duke of Durazzo).
  • Made Buthrotum Albanian culture in 1337.
  • Made Philippopolis area Bulgarian culture in later dates.
  • Made Casentino independent in 1337 instead of being a vassal to the pope.
  • Changed Kabarite counties to Tengriist in 1187/1204, and changed remaining Khazar counties to Cuman. However, Crimea's religion was changed to Karaite in 1337.
  • Changed de jure capital of Croatia from Zadar to Knin in start dates from 1187 onward.
  • Removed Stefan Dušan's erroneous unpressed claim on Boeotia, because Serbia never conquered it.
  • Renamed Rashka to Raška.
  • Corrected certain Italian counties to republics.
  • Gave the kings of Naples and Cyprus in 1337 pressed claims on Jerusalem.
  • Changed Rus'/Orthodox counties in 1337 Yedisan to Cuman/Maturidi.
  • Changed Anatolian Turkish emperor title name from Sultan al-Muazzam to Padishah.
  • Renamed Zayanid dynasty (Tlemcen in 1337) to Zayyanid.
  • Instead of Tlemcen starting under Marinid control in 1337, it instead starts in Zayyanid control, with there being an ongoing war for Tlemcen.
  • Zayyanids now have a kingdom title (repurposed Tahert) instead of only being dukes.
  • Gave Karl Thopia a claim on Albania so that, if Naples beats Serbia in 1337, he can start a faction to become an independent ruler of Albania instead of only becoming the Duke of Durrës.
  • Renamed County of Arbanon to County of Mat in the 1337 start date.
  • Corrected spelling of Tourraine to Touraine.
  • Renamed County of Troyes to County of Champagne in later start dates.
  • Corrected Hafsid capital to Tunis, and Marinid capital to Fes.
  • Changed adjective of Provence from Provencal to Provençal.
  • Made Saxony use the vanilla coat of arms in pre-1187 start dates when still known as Angria.
  • Changed Princely Elective description to say "Nordmark (Brandenburg)" instead of "Ostmark", since the duchy is called Nordmark in-game (though d_ostmark internally), and is renamed to Brandenburg in 1187 and later.
  • Made Golden Horde extend farther east. Eastern areas are held by descendants of Orda Khan who were in the game.
  • Swapped a few counties by the Aral Sea from the Golden Horde to the Chagatai Khanate.
  • Changed Özbeg Khan and his Mongol vassals to Tatar instead of Mongol.
  • Changed characters born before 1150 within Rum in the 1187 start date to have Turkish culture instead of Oghuz.
  • Renamed barony of Krsko to Krško.
  • Changed Zadar, Cres, and Pula from Dalmatian to Croatian in start dates from 1187 onward (meaning that Ragusa is the only remaining Dalmatian county).
  • Corrected Cres's liege to Venice in start dates from 1187 onward.
  • Changed counts of Pula in 1187 onward to feudal instead of republic, and to Cisalpine culture instead of Italian.
  • Changed Duke of Ragusa in 1337 to Cisalpine instead of Italian.
  • Changed Corsica to Italian culture instead of Sardinian from 1187 onward.
  • Gave counts of Viennois the Dauphinate of Viennois starting from Guigues le Dauphin.
  • Gave barony of Portsmouth to Hugh le Despenser (grandson of the executed Earl of Winchester) in 1337; he does not get his grandfather's county, though.
  • Corrected county of Valois's title history from 1191 onward.
  • Corrected county of Alençon's title history from 1217 onward; this change means that it will now be part of France in 1337 instead of Navarre.
  • Gave Korela to Sweden in 1337 (Treaty of Nöteborg).
  • Added diacritics to certain Oghuz/Turkish names (English localization only).
  • Miscellaneous minor history adjustments.
Bug fixes
  • Corrected prince of Ryazan in 1187.
  • Fixed problem from vanilla game: CK3 has it so that Maghrebi culture's color is exactly the same as Egyptian (renamed Masri in my mod), so I changed Maghrebi culture's color to that of CK2's Berber culture (which is internally "maghreb_arabic").
  • Fixed mistake where Corsican counts weren't vassals of Genoa due to error in history files.

Update: 16 Jul, 2021 @ 10:00pm

Additions
  • Added "Form Empire of Bulgaria" based on the one from CK2.
  • Added "the Little" nickname for Hasan (amir of Azerbaijan) in 1337, a nickname which contrasts with Sultan Hasan Buzurg of Iraq (i.e. Hasan the Great).
Changes
  • Gave Saladin a level of devotion at the start of 1187 so that he can declare a duchy-level holy war from the start.
  • Rulers of the custom non-playable Holy Order government type can now have councils.
  • Made Elvas not be Portuguese/Catholic yet in 1187/1204.
  • Major change: For accuracy, changed faith of several characters and provinces from Ash'ari to Maturidi. I may revert portions of this huge change in the future. I changed Turkic peoples, e.g. Volga Bulgaria, Seljuks, and Anatolian Turks; along with the Turkic-influenced Golden Horde and Chagatai Khanate). Ash'ari Persian counties and characters were also changed to Maturidi (Paradox even put a comment in the Islam file that Maturidi is "Persian Sunni Islam" but Persia is Ash'ari in-game). The Persian-influenced Ilkhanate was changed as well.
  • Reverted Balgarsko to being its own dynasty instead of being a Dulo cadet branch, so that titles won't be named after it (I had previously done a workaround by having Bulgaria set to be exempt from dynasty title naming).
  • Removed my custom "Iberia" name for Tao-Klarjeti in 867 because it doesn't seem to represent the actual Iberia in that specific date (the real one seems to be represented by the county of Kakheti in 867).
  • Gave the county of Byzantion higher development in 1187 (30 --> 55) which I didn't do because of an oversight; additionally, it has slightly lower development in 1204 (30 --> 25). 1337 remains the same as the previous versions.
  • Cleaned up the Iranian borders in 1187 and 1204.
  • Changed Özbeg Khan's children from Mongol to Kipchak culture, because around the mid 14th century the Golden Horde (allegedly) changed its chancery language to Kipchak. Changed some province cultures in the Golden Horde, as well.
  • Changed Sarbadars from Isma'ili to Twelver (Imami).
  • Changed Chobanids to Sunni.
  • Changed Kartids from Persian to Tajik.
  • Changed Safavid ruler (count of Gilan) in 1337 from Persian to Kurdish.
  • Changed Injuids to Sunni.
  • Made Golden Horde and Chagatai have de jure land in 1337 (replacing Khazaria and Turan). This should make them slightly less prone to explosion.
  • Removed Golden Horde's "Mongol" adjective (from vanilla game) because it made no sense.
  • Renamed Tamerlane's mother from Tekina to Tekina Khatun.
  • Made Afghan areas Muslim in 1337.
  • Changed adjective of Ninive from Ninivian to Ninevite.
Bug fixes
  • Made the automatic Genghis Khan event not fire if a character already holds the Mongol Empire, meaning it won't fire twice in 1204 start date (one being forced and one being the normal automatic one).
  • Fixed bug where the Byzantine Empire was not granted with the "Restore Byzantium" decision.
  • Fixed bug with Karakhanids in 1187 and 1204 caused by the character entries existing in both Karluk and Oghuz history files.
