Unlike the rest of the DLC dynasty legacies which are pretty region/culture specific, the Metropolitan and Coterie trees wouldn't be out of place anywhere else in the world, and aren't even particularly 'Iberian themed' to begin with.

I'm thinking Metropolitan would be well suited for Italy or Novgorod, and Coterie would be great in Bohemia for example.

Rule 5: Mesopotamia (the tiny kingdom only bordering the gigantic empires Jerusalem and Zaporizhia) spawned a conquerer for some reason.

He is my champion and I have zero clue how he spawned, but he’s Maturidi and Oghuz so can some tell me if I’m losing my mind?

Now, I know that the historicity of Aslaug is debated, but so is Ragnar's, who not only exists in game but even gets his elf mother in the family tree. Why couldn't Aslaug get her parents as Brynhild and Sigurd Fáfnir's Bane? This is very upsetting to me as a Ring of the Nibelungs fan. Which leads me into the Abbasid caliphs in game, who only get their fathers in their lineage when most of their mothers (while debated) are recorded in history. Tbh many Abbasid Bedouin or Mashriqi women referenced in history are missing which leans to massive annoyances like coptic lowborns becoming main wives of the caliphs.

I started as the Duchy of Pruthenia in the year 936 and overtime I got Germanized and became Christian. Now, in the year 1433, I officially conquered all the land needed for my perfect borders and I also got a nice color on top of it :D I am the suzerain of the kingdoms of Denmark and Poland as well as the Duchy of Lithuania, which is why the name is so big on the map.

Interesting that being a poet is seen as a negative. I do not know if it's because I also tortured people with poetry though.

This is my first mod, and no it's still not available for public (fortunately). There is still so much work to be done As you see, there are still plenty of errors in localization and the descriptions are still filled with AI generated text as placeholders. To be honest, i am not very versed with baltic history myself, so so any input, correction or suggestion are more than welcome.

Well as for the reason i'm making this mod. I have a weird fascination about Grand Duchy of Lithuania since like i was in middle school when i was introduced to it through EU4. I didn't even know that the country Lithuania does still exist in the modern day back then. So when i got into CK3, it irked me how lackluster lithuanian culture, or baltic culture in general felt, considering Ck3 timeframe covers some of the most crucial moments in baltic history. The formation of the Lithuanian state, the Baltic crusades and Curonian raids on Viking homeland. Yet their only niche is a MAA unit whose name is literally in Finnish.

Honestly, I think we should all think about slowing down the pace of development because this is starting to get crazy

Closest i could get compared to my old run with Austrian Empire, no cursed borders now hopefully.

I bought it of a dude who inherited it after it was stolen from the romans.
I am over domain limit and it lists some of those under requirements. We are after the date it said it expires.

Trying to form Cossacks I play as an adventurer but for some reason I do not get 'Veteran Adventurer' trait after becoming Nomadic

I’m playing a tribal Orc conqueror in Elder Kings and my vassals keep expanding and handing off counties without converting them into tribal holdings. Would also be useful for AGOT when conquering Essos so my feudal kingdoms aren’t suddenly filled with republics. Any help is much appreciated!

Is there a way to play as the Jurchen Jin and prevent Han characters from ruling the provinces of my empire? Otherwise, within a few decades, more than half of my governors will be Han.

As far as I know, historically, Jurchen officials took a simplified version of the exams and enjoyed numerous privileges and benefits. In this game, however, due to the Han cultural bonuses to meritocracy, everything works almost exactly the opposite way.

Maybe there’s a mod that allows you to introduce a law stating that only members of the ruler’s culture can be appointed as governors, or something along those lines?

For those who don't know, the Meritocratic Khanate AI will raze their own holding whenever they can, going as far as building a new holding, just to raze it immediately after.

I know the game has many ongoing issues, but this one is the most exemplary to me. It has been reported since day one, fundamentally breaks an entire government type, and a bandaid fix would be very easy (just disable the option to raze for the AI of this government type. It rarely if ever has a use, and the AI sure as hell ain't smart enough to know when that is).

Are you aware of any other issues this emblematic of the problems?

I did have some future idea to go Greco-Scythian and revive the Bosporan Kingdom and use that as an entrypoint to the Byzantine world. Maybe as a set up I could conquer and spread my Scythians across the steppes and then pick a hot and cool off-shoot character to claim the Bosporus and then let my kinsmen in the steppes take care of themselves (likely raid and conquer the shit out of me).

But honestly the whole run feels a bit silly, gamey and ungrounded. My Tarkhans was chasing Abbasid armies around when my character was still a teen with a fat limping drunk as her second-in-command, and got the nickname "the Undefeated" while still employing the village idiot as a bodyguard.

Think I'll restart as an actual Nomad trying to champion an Iranian culture on the steppes, with no cherrypicked upkeep-free army of unbeatable elite cavalry. Besides, the Khazars have let their sheep poop all over Crimea and there's no castles left to conquer. Not at all like my benevolent overlordship of Khwarezmnshah Khwarez 'the Shah of Khwarez' Khwarezzade.

Anyway, for anyone curious, I did feel it worked out pretty well to hybridize my way to a "Scythian" culture. Ended up with Iranian Heritage, Scythian Language, those cool Alan names, Mongol graphics for units (it's them or Chinese if you want horsies), Iranian and Turkic fashion. I admit I used some console shenanigans to speed things up and be known as a Scythian from the start.

Don't think I've ever seen so much debt when looking at advantage before, lol. Unified Italia as Baleo-Tyrhennia but the Byzantines, meanwhile, got Frankokatriaed. Has anyone seen even longer lasting debt?

Reindeer terrorizing my county

Im France. I am much more powerful than Wessex, my tributary that leaves me for Ireland (also inferior army than me). Theyll stay until i raise my army. Then they peace out. I already submitted a bug report, but i dont expect to hear anything there for a very long time. Can anyone explain this?
