When the political map mode and the locations map mode are the same picture... but seriously, I agree that they need to create a more in-depth river mechanic, rather than just making sea tile border gore. Rivers can have some sea-like functionality while having a few special mechanics. It's something that could definitely happen in DLC or updates, but it would be nice to see it implemented at start; the current solution leaves something to be desired.

4:45 small correction, the old Swiss confederation was founded in 1291 and already exists in the game, but as an international organisation (probably, not confirmed yet, but Johan indirectly nodded in that direction responding to a question). Each Swiss canton will be an independent state and will remain so even at the end of the game (if taking the historical route, of course). As a Swiss, finally Switzerland is represented correctly in a grand strategy game! Making it a single nation, while understandable for gameplay and granularity, is actually incorrect, especially in this time period. Note that the modern Swiss state is actually more close to a federation “with some elements of decentralisation” (so a federation “tilting toward a confederation”) BUT was established in 1848, after the end of the game. By consequence there may not be the chance to form a single country of Switzerland (unless they don’t do as with Germany in EU4, where you can make it earlier). Representing it as an international organisation is closer to the historical situation, to give you an idea, the old confederation was more decentralised than the European Union currently is, but we do not consider the EU a single state. Now what I’m really curious to see is the chance to create the Helvetic Republic, the shortly lived unitarian Swiss state (long story short, it’s Napoleonic shenanigans). Maybe even having the chance to create it as a vassal/subject when defeating the Swiss Confederation or to release it as a vassal if controlling enough swiss locations, to mimic the fact that it was a French puppet state.

I actually worked on an archaeological dig in Landsberg, now a small town, then an important settlement with large territory west of Meissen. We dug for old castle walls on the lone mountain in the middle of town, where only the old chapel from the middle ages remains. We actually found walls and an old tavern or kitchen with an oven and a lot of pots, plates, and animal bones.

The Gryfs of Pommerania could be interesting. In the 1300s Pommerania and the Gryfs were in the middle of Germanization. The Gryfs were descendants of Polish adventurers and they had hold on to their Slavic identity thus far as their subject were Slavs, just look at CK Pommerania, but in the 1300s the Germanization of Pommerania is in full swing, and the Gryfs just like their subjects are becoming more and more German.
@rodolfodeoliveira6383 ай бұрын
Yes, pretty much it. Pommerania (or at least the western part of it) became completely germanized by the late 1400s, and that remained until the end of WW2 when there was forced exile of german speaking pommeranians (the overwhelming majority of the population) by the soviet and poles in the recently conquered lands. Nowadays Sttetin holds barely any of it's cultural history, the pommeranian language (a variant of low german) is not spoken in Europe anymore (only remains in parts of Brazil and the U.S.) and the polish gov. continues to force kashubian culture in the western pommeranian lands. Kashubians were a small subculture of the original slavic pommeranians, and while the other pommeranian slavs became germanized, they held into their slavic culture, mainly cos they were agrarian peasants from eastern pommerania and had no incentive and need to germanize. Basically, pommeranian culture originated as a slavic sister culture of the polish, became completely german (to the point of being of the provinces with the most votes for the mustache dictator) and then got wiped out as war spoils.

In the culture section, you said that they (presumably germans) all spoke the same language, which while broadly true, I kind of doubt a speaker of Plattdeutsch in the north would be very intelligible with a guy from austria. This is true today in parts, and back 700 years ago I think it was even more stark, traveling like 100 miles meant the dialect was sufficiently different to be hard to understand.
@RainBrain263 ай бұрын
As someone with a history degree who did a ton of translations and transcriptions of handwritten texts, not only from the last 200 years, but also occasionally from the middle-ages: they're very different. You go for 50km and they even write differently. Lower German (northern) and Upper German (southern) were the endpoints of that spectrum and very different. Bavarian dialects and Plattdütsch already got more universally understandable with time, but are still very much unintelligible to each other now.
@DaDunge3 ай бұрын
14:15 They speak the same language today, they did not back then. Even in north Germany middle low german and middle high german is not the same language. Low saxon, Westphalian, Eastphalian, holsatian, and Angrian spoke middle low german (they would since they are a single culture) While Brandenburgers and Saxons speak middle high german. Which Markish speak depends on what it represents. Usually Markish is just another name for Brandenburger but here they seem to be in Pommaernia which makes me think they're the germans there, if so they should speak middle low german too. If they're more linked to the Brandenburgers they should speak middle high german, the western pommeranians if tey represent the germans in the area would speak middle low german otherwise they would speak a slavic language.
