Well, I think, the thing with Caucasus, is that there isn't really a right way to do it. I think Rome by the Euxine did a great job, considering the limitations, but I agree it could be improved. I have some ideas too, for example adding a couple more states in Dagestan, a couple more in Circassia, and I have an idea about Hereti. Anyway, text me, when and if you decide to do it.

Hi Moloch, I've sent you a friend request on Steam. Any help regarding research for north Caucasia would certainly be appreciated, I did notice a few inaccuracies in Rome by the Euxine which is why I've reverted Caucasia to vanilla (except for Ossetia) until I have time to do the region properly.

I'm also trying to implement the Darial Gorge but everytime I add it it looks slightly wrong.

I do feel like I'm missing out on new stuff though, with all the vanilla game updates, but I know they still haven't fixed the Caucasus, so it bums me out. If you ever plan to tackle that particular region in future, and need any help, you can always ask me. I haven't ever modded EU4 before, but I can learn. I've been developing my Caucasus mod for CK2 for the last 2-3 months, I had to learn modding from scratch, and I think it's coming out alright, although a bit clunky. I doubt EU4 is much harder to mod, so I might be of some help.

When I checked your mod (it was probably in early summer), I didn't notice it, but now I just realised, that maybe you've included the Balkans changes, and not the Cauasus changes. I remember I just checked on the Caucasus, and it was like vanilla. Not sure, if the changes weren't there, or if you've already removed them. I just wanted to say, that, being a north-caucasian myself, I simply can't play the vanilla game with such poor representation of my home region, so I'm still playing the 1.18.4 version with Rome by the Euxine mod (cause it wasn't updated).
(1/2)

Hi Moloch, I had included it in my mod but I have removed it for now, instead opting for the vanilla map for the area (although there are still a few vestiges of it left it). I plan on doing a proper overhaul of the region, probably after I've had time to do my French update.
Μολοχ 5 Jan, 2018 @ 4:03pm 
Hi, I saw on the forum, that you were gonna include the ideas from the mod called Rome by the Euxine. Are you planning to or did you decide to not go through with it?
Calanon  [author] 5 Jan, 2018 @ 1:01pm 
I've just updated the mod to 1.24, I haven't made as much progress as I would have liked and I've reverted some changes I had made, but university has been keeping me very busy.
Gronak 19 Jan, 2017 @ 9:57am 
I see in Scotland you have Lowland Scotland being of Scots culture and the highlands being 'Scottish'. Really the highlands should be of 'Gaelic' culture.
Calanon  [author] 13 Dec, 2016 @ 7:58am 
SAJMON: You will be pleased to know that Kashubian culture has been added, including the nation of Kashubia.
Williamspurr: No, both mods change the map and are therefore incompatible.

The mod will be updated for 1.19 sometime over December, I would have liked to have released it sooner but unforunately university work gets in the way.
Akatosharine 12 Dec, 2016 @ 3:58am 
Is this compatible with ET?
WIXA SRTH 7 Aug, 2016 @ 4:58am 
please add kashubian culture (danizg and some pomerania) , and events to bosnian culture group (muslim serbia)
Calanon  [author] 25 Jan, 2016 @ 4:57am 
Yeah, the game doesn't always properly display special characters, I'm going to fix that. Savoy I believe also has this issue. It's a pain.
Redesekrato)))r 25 Jan, 2016 @ 2:22am 
I have found a problem with dynamic province names. When France gained Pyrenees from Aragon there are some random characters in place of letters
Calanon  [author] 16 Jan, 2016 @ 12:43pm 
Once I've finished Europe I'll do the Middle-east and North Africa, although that's some way off yet.
Redesekrato)))r 16 Jan, 2016 @ 7:43am 
Do you have plans for some other mods that will improve the rest of continents aswell?
Calanon  [author] 30 Nov, 2015 @ 4:08pm 
The Cossacks releases tomorrow; I've done some work on the mod, mostly trying to improve Ireland and the Netherlands a bit more with events etc. before moving onto France. I'm currently busy with university work but soon I should have time to update the mod where necessary to 1.14 and implement my planned changes.
Calanon  [author] 30 Nov, 2015 @ 4:08pm 
@Seven of Nine, I'll take what you have said into account. I did however want Slovak to be a culture, I do admit though I haven't researched it quite thoroughly enough. Romanians are Slavs for gameplay purposes, Albanians aren't South Slavs either but they belong to that culture group in game. It's not about linguistics. And yeah, I agree the lack of mixed cultures certainly hinders things, alas I doubt that will change unless Pdx miraciously adds pop mechanics like Victoria II.

@Mattymoorz It possibly will be split up when I get around to that area.

@MountainMover I'm not making a separate group for the Dutch, they were Germanic enough in the 15th century and still have similarities. With the changes to cultural unions in 1.14 I may change Breton to Celtic.
Ironwaffleman 24 Nov, 2015 @ 12:39pm 
ok a couple things.

The dutch are not german and should have their own group. Also included in that should be the flanders.
Briton is connect ot irish, otherwise good
mattd_ 24 Sep, 2015 @ 12:43pm 
@Calanon Frisian should also be in the western part of holstein if you split that province in half ;)
Seven of Nine 23 Sep, 2015 @ 12:12am 
As a Hungarian I can tell you, that Romanians weren't present in Partium (West "Transylvania") in 1444, they got there only after or during the 15 years war.
Slovaks as far as I know were in a minority even in the 20th century. Many of them were forced to settle there... well, at least a few. see: Maria Theresia.
Besides that: why are the Romanians still listed as "Southern Slavs", if they are no way slavs?
Some lingistic elements in Romanian are actually make them be closer to Albanian than southern slav. (Balcaninc Sprachbund, later reformed / changed by migrating tribes and empires)
But bigger cities in Transylvania were Saxon in their nationality.

But hey, still a good mod :). Unfortunately the game's basic mechanics do not allow mixed cultures, say a regions culture belongs to two culture groups (Scots as Scots can be both Scottish, and English), or a region having two cultures / religions. That way the Balkans would be.... interesting.
Calanon  [author] 21 Sep, 2015 @ 2:13pm 
I already have Groningen, Drenthe and Friesland as three separae provinces with Frisian culture present in Friesland and Groningen. ;)
Amsterdamets 21 Sep, 2015 @ 12:40pm 
Ok good to know. (I'm not saying Salland is not saxon it is but well you know Salland is less saxon i'd still say it's more Saxon than Hollands especially historically. So yeah you decide) (I'd make Oversticht Saxon and split Friesland into three provinces Groningen , Drenthe and Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe being Saxon and Friesland being either Frisian or Dutch) (If you decide to add frisian to the game I'd be willing to give you some info on the cultural division in the Netherlands) Thanks for considering it. :steamhappy:
idefirka 19 Sep, 2015 @ 10:48pm 
I have to disappoint you but there was NO Slovak or Romanian culture in Hungary, in this area, just some hundred years later. I know, becouse I'm hungarian. Tha vlachs (no, not romaians, because they were no Romany until 1860's ) just came to our territory, aslike now the migrants to Europe. According to the real history, they were slovakian people, but only the 5-10% of the people, on this territory. And they wasn't called "slovakians" only "tót" because they were no Slovakian country (until 1919)
Calanon  [author] 18 Sep, 2015 @ 1:22am 
Johntip, I'll consider doing that in the future, bu for now it's staying as Dutch so they can still have the Netherlands form. I'll be reworking how the Netherlands forms at some point though.
Amsterdamets 17 Sep, 2015 @ 8:27am 
I meant Westphalian , Eastphalian means something else were i live.
Amsterdamets 17 Sep, 2015 @ 8:23am 
Could you make the Saxon Netherlands (partially) Eastphalian? (You could also split Overijssel into two provinces Twente and Salland)(Why? you might ask, because Twente is far more saxon than Salland) One more thing having twente as a formable nation would be great especially if it could form Niedersachsen(/Hannover) - Someone from Twente
MasterGamer 14 Sep, 2015 @ 5:03pm 
Berlin is not Eastphalian, it is Margravian. Brunswick is Eastphalian.
E 14 Sep, 2015 @ 10:01am 
Another Eurocentric mod that would make it more overpowered than it already is. Sigh.
ORGEIX 13 Sep, 2015 @ 9:05am 
Toulouse are not languedocien!!!
Flowering Knight 13 Sep, 2015 @ 7:35am 
This looks promising! Subscribing myself. :) As for the 'Flemish' and 'Kleves' issue raised below, the Dutch and the Flemish were generally known to be one people and the original push of the Dutch War of Independence (Eighty Years' War) wanted to include Flanders. The Dutch and Flemish got seperated through faith and through state borders after the partially successful independence war. As for Kleves: up to today, there is still a significant Dutchophone community that even influences the Germans over there.
aescolano 13 Sep, 2015 @ 12:17am 
If you need help improve Spain (and Castile, Aragon , Granada and Navarra) , make new events for these countries and translate your mod to Spanish , here's a volunteer!
Calanon  [author] 12 Sep, 2015 @ 11:06am 
Wotertool, yes I will add German Bohemians when I add more provinces to the HRE region
wotertool 11 Sep, 2015 @ 3:06pm 
Will you maybe add the Sudetendeutsche as culture in the Bohemian region? They should be an accepted culture in all germanic countries, including Austria, not just "tolerated".
FreyrDS 10 Sep, 2015 @ 10:43am 
it's your choice, but I can tell you that Flemish has NEVER been Dutch. They just spoke the same language. But thanks for answering anyway :)
Calanon  [author] 10 Sep, 2015 @ 9:48am 
FreyrDS, Flemish identity only really became separate to Dutch identity at the end of the game. I am not changing this. I am not spliting Dutch into Flemish, Brabantian, Limburgish, Hollandic etc. It was Dutch at the time.
FreyrDS 10 Sep, 2015 @ 9:35am 
Flanders isn't Dutch, it's Flemish
Calanon  [author] 10 Sep, 2015 @ 8:45am 
Pascaler, I changed Kärnten and Graz to Slovene by accident and forgot to fix that. With East Frisia, when I do the HRE update I plan on making the situation with East Frisia more accurate, being a chiefdom and an event where it is accepted into the HRE. As with Berg, I'll look into that. However my sources do point to Cleves having mostly Dutchophone at the time. However, I will look into it again.
Bierwolf 10 Sep, 2015 @ 8:36am 
besides is "East-Frisian" something that vanished just at the begining at this game,
they became Niederdeutsch. Also is Berg not of hessian culture just like Kleve isn't dutch
Bierwolf 10 Sep, 2015 @ 8:34am 
wow. Your knowledge is impressive low. Kärnten is not mainly slovenian nor is Graz.
Also is Baden and Breisgau Allemanic
El Keko 10 Sep, 2015 @ 6:49am 
add briton to the celtic group
