I hope you haven't take offence of my suggestions. Then there is the duchy of Saxony, for most game starts, with the stem duchy of Saxony still around, that region mighty be better off represented as the principality of Anhalt. I'd reverse the city and castle holding for the county of Brussels, Brussels was the town, the castle of the Koudenberg was the seat of the counts and later dukes of Lower Lorraine and eventually (my native) Brabant. Though Turnhout should probably be changed to the abbey (temple) of Tongerlo. In the Low Countries Loon is too far to the north, there the town of Den Bosch ('s Hertogenbosch on the river Meuse/Maas) should be a part of Brabant, Breda should be a barony (the first possession of the house of Orange-Nassau in the Low Countries) and Turnhout was a part of the quarter of Antwerpen not Leuven. Schaunberg in Bavaria/Austria is not the same as the (Low) Saxon Schaumburg (though Schauenburg is more correct for this era), the latter is however linked to Holstein (they shared counts for a while). For starters Trent (Trentino) was a prince-bishopric, there is duplicate county of Kärnten, the one around Klagenfurt could be called Friesach, while the one around Stein could be Heunburg or Jaun. Secondly I was involved in the setup of the HRE (except for the Italian peninsula, which was done by for SWMH (part of HIP), so I can help you with suggestions for that region. I would suggest not to use Salian for Low Frankish/Old Dutch though, IMHO Low Frankish or Low Franconian would be better. Originally these are all West-Germanic cultures.įirst of all great work, I like your mod, wished I found it sooner. Afterward they simplified the root development into Central-Germanic -> Dutch and also grouped into this culture group the Saxon, High German, Franconian, Frisian, Swabian, etc. In reality there was not a Central-Germanic culture (traditionally only North-Ger., West-Ger., and East-Ger.), however I guess for gameplay reasons the developers of Paradox created this culture group to create more cohesion within the northern part of the HRE. May I ask why this has been done? Because there is and never was a Salian culture.īasically the historical development is (very basic, in reality it is a bit more complicated) : Germanic -> West-Germanic -> Old Franconian (Frankish) -> Old Dutch/Low Franconian -> Middle Dutch -> Modern Dutch (compare, the historical development of Frisian is f.i.: Germanic -> West-Germanic -> North Sea Germanic -> Anglo-Frisian -> Old Frisian -> Modern Frisian). Recently I started playing CK3 again and I noticed that the 'Salian culture' mostly replaced the Dutch culture. Hi, earlier I provided some info for the low countries.
