So Chicago was Potawatomi in the mid 1700s, the game switched the province to Illini following the French, I have made that switch instead become Anishinabe (which is used for Potawatomi in game) and I gave Potawatomi a core, although they do not own the land.

The Fox own Mascouten due to my changes, this is fine I believe as they were allies and cultural relatives of the Mascouten & Kickapoo following wars with the French & Potawatomi.

A few updates
In the minor sense I made Abkhazia have Circassians as the native ethnic group

Native Americans are where this update focuses though
On Killeroy's suggestions in the post and based around some other findings I found researching for the map I made some long needed changes. No nations were added, just cultures, though I may consider adding nations later to go with them.

A new culture group called "Bajan" I added which consists largely of the suggested Hokan Language Family as well as two isolate groups that are culturally nearby.
I have divided Hokan East & West, with Shasta, Yuman, Salinan, Pomo, & Seri being called "Pai". Including provinces 2476, 4639, 2620, 865, 876, and 2491 for Yuman. 2480, 869, 871, and 2616, being for Shasta, Salinan, Pomo, and Seri respectively.
Coahuila & the Tolan culture in Central American being called Coahuilteco.
As provinces 2499, 2666, 2667, 861, 2668, and 4593 (the last being the Tolan province).
Chumash has been added with the Chumash province as its only location at 868, and the Guaycura-Pericu people being their own with province at 866.


The Tonkawa isolate culture was added to Caddoan, which is a stand in for the Tonkawa, Karankawa, & Atakapa peoples. Due to the close cultural ties of these peoples to those around them I figured this was the best place to put this culture. Provinces are numbers 884, 888, and 4627.

The Takic Languages I have moved from Piman as territories to be Shsohone as the Takic languages are closer to Shoshone. This changed provinces 2478, 4635, & 867. 867 is called Mohave which would be "Pai", but the province seems to sit in an area less Mohave and more Takic.

New Naisha culture for Plains Apache, it exists at province 2006 near Kiowa and I wanted to place them south, but the province sizes make this impossible as it would eat away at the Comache heartland, so they disapper from the map in 1805 when the Blackfoot gain the region more alone.

The Mitchigami culture is evidenced to have had roots in the Chicago area and in South Illinois, as a result I have added Chiwere culture as a stand in for the closely related fellow Siouan Mitchigami to provinces 4903 & 4904. Chicago was Miami later on and as such will switch later in the game to compliment this.

The Fox were a major change as it is indicated they were expelled from the St. Lawrence River Valley Basin by the French and later only moved the direction where they are at normal 1444 start, so I modified all the rpovinces Fox owns, made their primary culture Mesquakie and moved them to that region until the 1650s when they will move to Michigan and continue from there. This made their new lands at provinces 4892 & 4912, while the Potawatomi gained their "old" territory and the Miami took the region south along the cultural lines as appropriate.

Fixed "sinicise" fusion cultures for China that were added recently (vietnamese korean etc)
added Norse to Scandinavian
added a few surnames
added Lousianan & Quebecois to French

1.34.5 Updated report any bugs

I also fixed Barbashimin to Barba'shimin for an Assyrian name spelling

Assyrian "new" culture
Malatya is now Kurdish to reflect Zazay Population
Antioch is now Coptic (Oriental Orthodox)
Sidon is now Roman Catholic (Maronite)
Mardin, Diyarbekir, & Mosul are Assyrian & Coptic (Oriental Orthodox)

Added Platinean to the game as I noticed a South American country with no culture.

5 changes

1. Baltic German added to Germanic in keeping with the latest update

2. Bungi Culture (Bungi is a mixed Scottish/Anglo-Metis Culture/Language) removed until late game, with Nakawe being Saulteaux instead which has been added. New Metis culture group including Metis & Bungi.
I may have to add language localisation later or potentially use different names for the general Metis & the more French Metis Culture.
I will later use these cultures more in mod updates possibly if history concurs with making some provinces Metis, feel free to let me know if you know about this already in the comments.

3. Torlak Regions (Kosovo & Nis) are now both Bulgarian. However, I may add a Torlak culture later in these regions and in some of Bulgaria.

4. Pruthenian has been added to Baltic from the lost culture group, while they had strong Germanic influence, they were still Baltic at their core, it remains unused unless you use it as a custom.

5. Livonian Culture has been added to Ugric from the lost culture group, it is unused unless used as a custom (possibly that may change later).

This is for 1.33.3 but same as above

Though I need to make sure no other cultures except Baltic German were added so let me know about any bugs if noticed.

Fixing Chuvash & Izhorian cultures which got removed by mistake in a past update, and adding names that were also lost in that update mistake to Finno-Ugric, Swedish, & German surnames

New Culture for Kleurlinge (only for custom use, not in game start!) & New names for Nguni & Khoisan
