Yet another Baltic overhaul mod, how long will this one last do you reckon?

---

NOTE: DESCRIPTION IS OUTDATED (2023-08-23)

---

I made this since I play a lot in Latvia, usually as some kind of Latgalian saviour or hero figure, since they for some reason always get genocided by Estonians in my games. (Funny how in real life they kinda assimilated everyone else, afaik).

This mod began with just adding Livonians, Curonians and Semgalians, but the deeper down the rabbit hole I went, the more I added. Reading about the Curonians lead me to the Osilians (funny guys these ones), which then lead me to the Estonians which lead me to the Ugandians (mainly Võro), and so and so forth.

As a consequence to adding 14 new cultures, I had to change and split some provinces to accommodate the newly added cultures. In the future I might make a lightweight version of the mod where I don't touch province and history files.

---

So, what's next? Well, I'm not entirely satisfied with how religion is working in the region yet, so that's something I'll work on. Other than that I'm looking into adding features from discontinued Baltic overhaul mods, although that will probably not be the first thing I do, since shifting through old code can be kind of tedious.
