Checksum: 4020, 1.29.5 Compatible

New Features/Content
- Added a new "Caspian Peasant Republic" government type for the Caspian nations Gilan and Rasht. Gilan and Rasht now start as Republic with a "Peasant Council". Peasant Council means they will have a randomized leader at the start.
- Added a new formable in Uganda, Kitara. A large empire that may have controlled the entire Great Lakes region at start of our timeframe (history is unclear on when exactly they fell apart)
- Added ideas for Bukhara, Malaya, and Arabia

General
- All Feudal Modifiers no longer have CC cost increase; however, each group has its own downside to accommodate for this now
- Moved Christians/Jews/Zoroastrians in East Africa into their own unique group Late Feudal Modifier Group (based on how they were different from nearby Africans/Muslims)
- Added Experimental Castilian Civil war events. Most of these are currently unlocalized so if you're playing these nations be sure to read what they do!
- Adjusted Western, Nomad, and Eastern Tech groups initial province discovered. This mostly affects weird interactions like seeing a Indian nation capital but only seeing a tiny bit of India.
- Updated Herat and Afghanistan ruler History.
- Reworded Samana Rebellion Sack of Delhi event to be a little less gruesome
- Tweaked how the AI uses the Expel Nestorian Community decision. (EG: Ming Expelling Nestorians, Timur, etc.) (This includes: Non-Christian Nation Crusaded, Chinese Emperor lower than 0 Stability, Timur, Ming as Emperor, Tolerance of Nestorians below 0 (Non-Christians only), and Zoroastrians never do this. More suggestions welcome!)
- Moved Cuman back to Tartar Group
- Temporarily gave Crusader States normal heirs until their mechanics can be properly fleshed out post 1.30
- Added warning to Lotharingia & Arles decisions about them being unable to form the other
