New Manx Culture added to the game in the Celtic Culture Group, new names for Manx leaders as well (not just the default Scottish ones the game has, although I kept the surnames and instead added some more)

Moved German cultures around so the colours were not the same for Westphalian and Dutch

The only two confirmed/known recorded Crimean Gothic names to date are Damjanus & Harfidel
I have added both to the Gothic culture as name options

Update: 24 Jun, 2023 @ 12:07pm

More names added to Gothic culture from the legendary Wuffings largely

The Wulfings were a Geatish Clan and rivals of the Langobardic Hundings

They also play a major role in Beowulf as there is a feud due to one of Beowulf's family having killed one of the Wulfings

The Wulfings and later Ylfings of Scandinavia have been etymologically connected to the Wuffings of East Anglia and historians have suggested they share a common ancestor.

Hence my inclusion of these names.

Linguists have also noticed similarities between the languages of the Gutes and Geats to Ancient Gothic.

I've actually seen some of these first hand cause I studied Wulfian Gothic in my free time a bit.

Added several Geatish names (mostly surnames) to Gothic culture
am adding a few more including some names from the Wuffings, Gutes, and Geats

A Swedish Dynastic Surname (Stenkil) added to Swedish

Several Notable Norse Clans added to Norse Surnames

Hunding added as a surname to the Langobard Culture and a few other small changes there

Update: 23 Jun, 2023 @ 2:54pm

New Langobard Culture added, although can only be played by a custom culture, the name Spoleto means Bloody Bridge, so one of the surnames is the German equivalent, although di Spoleto is also an option.
(no primary nation for Langobards)

New names for Gothic added to the Hellenic names that exist by default, these names are taken from the names of historic Goths such as from the Amal Dynasty, Balt Dynasty, and the family of Odoacer amoung other sources.

Update: 23 Jun, 2023 @ 12:38pm

Updated, shouldn't have any errors

Update: 23 May, 2023 @ 2:20am

Spanish & Dutch names for parts of Taiwan/Formosa if owned by them

Spanish north is San Salvador (Sao Salvador if Portugal)
Which was their main settlement near Fort Santo Domingo which protected it

Ducth north is Fort Antonio (which they renamed Fort Santo Domingo to)
& South is (Fort) Zeelandia which was near a later founded the smaller (Fort) Provintia also held by the Dutch
Dutch names also apply to Germans and Flems

I could later make it so only the capitals rename

Update: 21 May, 2023 @ 11:18pm

The Aromanian addition

Aromanian added, used long lists of names to construct the culture authentically (can expand on later though)
This culture represents both Aromanians & Megleno-Romanians.

As of now however, it has no provinces or primary nation and must be placed with a custom nation.

Western Slavic Update
Special thanks to Heinith for reminding me to get to this

New Slunzoki (Silesian Slavic Culture) for provinces, accepted by Glogau & Opole, primary of Opole, also can form Silesia!

New Kashubian Culture (Includes Slovincian) in 2 provinces, no primary at this time however

Stolp changes in 1745 to Pommeranian

Both have names taken from lists of names in the language and surnames from the history of these

Other Changes

Some added Germanic names & Hungarian names

New Beothuk Culture with names from surviving last members, Norse "Vinland" Sagas, and from Mimaq names

One province in Labrador renames if owned by Scandinavian culture to Markland, more to come in a Vinland name update (although the locations are disputed for many of these names, this one is more clear)

Update: 21 May, 2023 @ 1:22pm

Changed some Prussian provinces to Polish
may make Masurian & Kashubian later!
