Slightly More Interesting Crimea

Description
About

Slightly More Interesting Crimea is a mod that makes it more interesting to play in and around the crimean peninsula by adding a new culture: the Crimean Goths. They're one of the last remnants of the eastern germanic people.

Features
  • A new culture, the Gothic culture, present in the county of Kerch
  • Comes with Central Germanic heritage and language
  • Comes with a custom name list
  • Impacts both 867 and 1066 start dates

Historical accuracy

While the existence of the Crimean Goths is pretty well documented, the limitation of the CK3 engine can't exactly translate the reality (or at least what we know of it). For that reason, the culture in the whole county of Kerch has been set to the new culture, while most probably Kerch wasn't totally gothic. The historical strategos of the area in 867, Petronas Kamateros hasn't been changed from CK3 to keep historical accuracy, which means that there are no playable Gothic ruler in any of the start dates.

In the end, I believe that this mod is a bit more accurate than vanilla CK3, but still not totally accurate.

Compatibility
Achievements Compatibility

This mod is Ironman Compatible but will disable Achievements.

Known incompatibilies
  • Talamu-Anu: Full Culture Expansion also adds Crimean Gothic to the area. I prefer my implementation to theirs, and mine only touches Crimea, chose one or the other.
  • Total conversion mods are logically not compatible
  • Any file that changes history/provinces/k_pontic_steppe.txt will be incompatible. I play with a rather large mod list and have found no other mods than the one listed above that change this file.

Good catch @Antak, didn't around to playing with them yet. I'm fixing it now

Seems like you forgot to add innovations to the new crimean gothic culture

Not bad but the goths were eastern Germanic, not central Germanic. Gothic is about equally closely related to German as it is to the Scandinavian languages. So it would be even better if they got their own heritage and language.

I second @Archduke of Pjërym on making East Germanic Heritage and East Germanic language, then they can go nomadic government w/ G+ and go on migration to Pannonia or Poland without being too buddy-buddy with Franconians, Bavarians or Thuringians

Thank you so much. Too many times I would wish they would add Gothic culture in CK2 and 3 but this will do very well
