Khalaj Update!

2 new nations, using designs modern flags they use for themselves with the Khalaj culture

The Qashqai (a shiite group near Isfahan) and Khalji in Afghanistan

Khalji is the primary nation of the culture

Both can be released in 1444 and have one core (their capitals) each

They do not have unique missions or ideas, but both can form the Mughals & Persians, and have the Qizilbash estate

I have also added new names to the Khalaj culture, and the leader names and ai ideas are distinct for both countries, although they have some overlap in places.

Both are tech group wise similar to other local Turkic groups, especially Ak Qonyulu, so playing them may be similar, albeit with a harder starting position for these two.

Essentially I wanted an option to expand into India the way the Lodi, Tughluq, & Khalji dynasties did and form the Mughals in a more challenging way than with the Timurids, so here it is.

I also added a new surname to the Luri pool, and removed a purely Iranian one from the general Turko-Iranian pool.

Province Names for Slavic Nations Update (1/2)

Every province in Europe has localisation for East Slavic, and a good handfull outside of Europe as well

An interesting feature you may notice is when you form the Slavic culture group, local names are now favoured again instead of Russian spellings, and the German names Russia has no problem with, disappear in spots in favour of the Sorbian names in much of East Germany and Polish ones in Prussia, while in the East Slavic names the cities go by "Russified" German spellings often.

Localisation added for Sorbians taking from the Czech list as well as some from Kashubians/Polish lists and regional names taken from Slavic settlements in Germany (some of these are unique to Sorbia)

Similarly Slovenes have names that replace much of Austria with Carantanian names, and otherwise borrow from Czech & Croatian name lists

Bulgarians and Torlaks have very similar (but not identical name lists), as do Serbians with them, although with some more variation

Some new names have been placed based on historical names of certain places, or their historical ties to Slavic settlements


Other Changes-
Greek cultures now use some Armenian, Assyrian, and Georgian local names when no Greek names are present (in favour of Turkish and Arabic names)
Added an Armenian name for an additional province, included in the Georgian & Euphratean lists


Coming soon-
Future updates intend to make it so the Carantanian names are availible to Sorbs and Sorbian names to Slovenes, as well as some others like giving say Bulgaria, Russian names in Russia's East, in case you conquer that as Bulgaria somehow. Although this has not yet been done extensively except in regards to the East Slavic cultures, but there are hand-fulls of names all over in all of them. This will be labelled Province Names for Slavic Nations Update (2/2), but it won't be out until later next week at the earliest.

I also have a more "ambitious" update coming in a week or two at most, it's still in testing for the moment. As this is a one-man mod, it's still in need of time I can give to test it and make assets.

Bug fix, accidentally uploaded test version instead of the workshop ready version, fixed now

Added new names for mostly Tocharian & Chorasmian leaders

Also did some work toward the next big country update

Name additions & changes

A province in Iran has been changed to Luri where the Shabankara were largely located, although they are still present in Kermanshah today, the province is too large to justify changing it over.

More names have been added to Armenian, Copt, Persian, Mazandarani (some added & some removed), Behdinani, Luri, and Kurdish pools

Cilicia & Keeme (Coptic Egypt) Update

New Primary Nation for Coptic Culture- KMJ (Keeme)
-The colour is the RGB for Egyptian Blue.
-The name is the most common Coptic way of saying Egypt, written in Latin Letters.
-I used an Egyptian Coptic Cross for the flag, with a white background.
-No missions yet for the nation, it has be be revolted to spawn cores as of now.

New nation of Cilicia with a flag based on the two arms of Cilicia
-Cilicia & Cyprus are historic allies.
-Cilicia has 3 cores in 1444, and can be released, but after 50 years these cores will be lost.
-No missions yet, but you can form Armenia with Cilicia.

Minor improvement adding some better Ossetian names to the leader generation

Simple addition to make Alania a 2 2 2 in 1444, this should make conquest as them a little easier & 1 1 1 is unrealistically too little

Scythia Update Addition

Added one more claim to Scythian Missions & Eranshahr decision

One more province is required for Sogdia & Bactria

And the requirement of Kabul has been moved to the Sakastan mission instead

Added the female name Satenik to Ossetian & Scythian name pools
