Faction's real world equivalent ?

[✪︎DΞ︎AD_iwnw]

My personal opinion for each faction and their equivalent is as follows:

Empire - Western Roman architecture but Byzantine-styled troops
Vlandia - Normans/ English
Battanians - Celts
Sturgia - Kievan Rus
Khuzaits - I actually don't think they are the mongols. I think their armor more resembles that of the Turks/ Cumans.
Aserai - Moors

What do you guys think?

Khuzalt is Cuman

Khuzaits are probably Mughals or Timurid's or Cuman. Something Turco-Mongol anyway.

Vlandia - more Frankish with some Norman influence. Very little, if anything, English
