File common/religion/religions/00_christianity.txt is the only things that messes up with compatibility of that mod, since there is no other way to make new christian faith other than changing that file
You can always ask if some specific mod compatible with that one

@Memerius Maximus works fine with Cultures Expanded, just load that mod after CE
As for religions, mod don't work only with other mods that add new christian faiths, since they change the same file common/religion/religions/00_christianity.txt. So it depends

Does your mod work for Cultures Expanded and any other religions mod?

I didn't know there was such a good mod. This mod should be more known. thank you

You can see how it looks like now at the last screenshot if you decide to move capital to Kyiv also

Some changes to expand de-jure lands of Galicia-Volhynia decision
1) Duchies of Chernigov and Pereyaslavl are now also becomes de-jure of Kingdom of Ruthenia, but they are still not required to be held for decision
Meanwhile duchies of Karachev and Novosil are transferred to kingdom of Vladymir
Kingdom of Kyiv left without any duchies and effectively destroyed

2) There is now an option to change de-jure capital of Kingdom of Ruthenia to Kyiv upon that decision

I think good idea would be adding ruthenian culture as decision. Bcs if you not playing as Ruthenian overlord in beginning, then almost all provinces will be assimilated in dozen of years. If add this "desicion" then if you need it later, you can just change your culture (as overlord of Galicia-Volhynia) to Ruthenian.

@Zarays Yes, you are right. Historical accuracy is very important to counteract propaganda that has been waged for decades or even longer. Games are a part of mass culture, so they have a strong influence on a large number of people.
In fact, it physically hurts me to see gaffes like the chicken on the coat of arms of the Rus Empire and the name Russia. 😅
Zarays  [author] 31 Jul, 2023 @ 3:52am 
@Scooby
Yes, I agree that correct name should be Kyivan Rus', just the same as Kiev was changed to Kyiv in modern english
The question though if you aiming for historical accuracy?
Both Kievan Rus' and Kyivan Rus' are just 19th century names but in different languages
If you are aiming for historical accuracy it should be called Rus', Ruthenia or Rutenia

Anyway that mod is not localization mod
The only changes made to localization are required for that mod to avoid duplicate or confusing names
Scooby 30 Jul, 2023 @ 11:40pm 
Thank you for your response. But that mod is not entirely accurate and has new logical and historical errors that it was intended to correct. Even the name of the mod is wrong. If the name of the main city is Kyiv, the state can only be called Kyivan Rus , not *Kievan.

It would be very cool to see this in your mod, not to speak of the other names of the cities I mentioned. For example, Pervomaisk is a kringle. This name of the city was created by Soviet propaganda in the 20th century)))
Zarays  [author] 26 Jul, 2023 @ 12:54pm 
@Scooby
I wanted to add some of these changes in last update
But decided not to
Because that mod is not about localization changes
And there is already a mod that does that, Kievan Rus fix

Please make corrections to incorrect coats of arms and names together with this mod or as a separate one.
For example, to remove the kringle chicken from the coat of arms of the empire, the names Russia (Kyivan Rus) and Russian (rus, ruthenian) culture
Change the names of many Rus cities on the territory of Ukraine to their original names, for example:
"Cherkassy, Chernigov, Odesa, Priluk, Novgorod-Seversky, Glukhov, Malaia Skvirka, Voznessensk, etc."
to
"Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Odesa, Pryluk, Novhorod-Siverskyi, Hlukhiv, Mala Skvyrka, Sokoly"
Pervomaisk is generally a soviet name, there used to be a town called Bohopil.

What do you think? @Zarays
Scooby 26 Jul, 2023 @ 7:31am 
Велике прохання разом з цим модом або окремим зробити виправлення і в неправильних гербах та назвах.
Наприклад прибрати крінжового орла з герба імперії, назви Russia (Kyivan Rus) та russian (rus, ruthenian) culture
Змінити назви багатьох міст Русі на території України на оригінальні, наприклад:
"Cherkassy, Chernigov, Odessa, Priluk, Novgorod-Seversky, Glukhov, Malaia Skvirka, Voznessensk etc"
на
"Cherkasy, Chernihiv, Odesa, Pryluk, Novhorod-Siverskyi, Hlukhiv, Mala Skvyrka, Sokoly".
Первомайськ - це взагалі совєтська назва, раніше там було місто Богопіль.

Цікава ваша думка @Zarays

nice job!

NEW UPDATE

Localization changes:
1) At 1066.9.15 start date volhynian culture changes it's name to ruthenian culture
2) Kingdom of Ruthenia is now Kingdom of Kyiv

Basicly volhynian, like other tribes ilmenian, severian, drevlian etc, are justified to exist in 867, but for the 200 years of relative unity it's no longer a separate tribe
Second change is made because of the first one
After decision to expand Galicia-Volhynia Kingdom it's name still will change to Kingdom of Ruthenia, not the new name Kingdom of Kyiv

Optimizations:
Made lots of script's changes to make that mod work better with Cultures Expanded mod
Which I highly recommend to use alongside
Just load this mod AFTER Cultures Expanded

Updated to 1.9

Hi @Zarays will you update this mod, or it should be fine with the latest version?
Unserious Sam 24 Mar, 2023 @ 10:51am 
Thanks for so fast feedback!
Zarays  [author] 24 Mar, 2023 @ 10:41am 
@SirCatAngry
Agree
Done
Unserious Sam 24 Mar, 2023 @ 8:55am 
What about when you making the "expand Galicia-Volhynia" the name Galicia-Volhynia changes to "Ruthenia". Because in 1253 knyaz (not official king) Danilo Romanovich was crowned by Pope as "King of Ruthenia".
That title was held as independent kingdom until 1340, and just as title until 1919.
Zarays  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 5:01pm 
Main goal of that update was to make mod more historical, so here some background:

- Rulers and lands are not converted to Greek-Catholic faith on game start now
That was some lazy modding in the first place. Now you'll not become greek-catholic until you'll get Galicia-Volhynia Kingdom

- County Ushytsia is part of Duchy Halych
That how it was at the time of Galicia-Volhynia Kingdom

- Duchy Cherven Cities is renamed to Duchy of Belz with capital in county Belz
From what I saw, there was Principality of Belz at the time of Galicia-Volhynia Kingdom
Cherven Cities is how these lands were named later by poles

- New decision to expand Kingdom of Galicia-Volhynia if you control duchies of Kyiv, Turov, Pinsk and Grodno
According to maps that was the most lands Galicia-Volhynia ever hold
Zarays  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 4:53pm 
- Replaced Greek-Catholic holy site from Alexandria to Kyiv
That's where it's headquarters are from the start and nowadays

- Replaced Greek-Catholic holy site from Antioch to Berestye
That's where it was founded and I needed second holy site, so here you go)

- Greek-Catholic faith is no longer available on game start through conversion, only via decision
Again, no lazy modding now, that church didn't exist on 1066 and especially at 867
Although you still can create it before it's historical date of creation
Zarays  [author] 23 Mar, 2023 @ 4:22pm
