They may took some tribes(like with Lithuania in 867) and give them well-known names(Viatichi or else)
There is another thing I do not understand. The trailer speaks of Charlemagne as of the man "who built the Roman Empire". I may agree with that. So why the hell do they show the Empire of Francia on the map?
Hopefully this has to do with the "Customize kingdoms and empires" option.
I thought Visigothic Spain was mostly the ruler caste with everyone else going from Latin to specific Iberian cultures over time.

Because he ruled Francia? It was still Francia when he died - one of his descendants created the Holy Roman Empire, but Charlemagne was the one who laid the cornerstone. He was Emperor of Rome and King of the Franks.There is another thing I do not understand. The trailer speaks of Charlemagne as of the man "who built the Roman Empire". I may agree with that.

Yes, that's what I hope the most: that with this expansion they would finally revise cultural spread.While I'm currently a wee bit underwhelmed (but will wait to see what PDox all has in this, as there's precious few details), I would remind everyone that ToG had similar work in progress maps released early around its announcement that were later significantly updated before it hit the virtual shelves. Given we're probably a good ways off still from the actual release I would highly expect much of this to change.
And here's to hoping for that cultural mechanics overhaul CKII could really use!

So I would prefer that the realm were named "Empire of the Romans and the Franks" or an appropriately shorter equivalent phrase.
all over Northern Africa, no less.I noticed unified Arab culture in that map, or am I imagining things?
Yeah, I'd hope that's WIP.all over Northern Africa, no less.

Why did you wonder about the Saxons? Dutch didn't exist at this time. It was a dialect of Frankish (not Old French or Romance, Germanic Frankish). So it will likely a split from Frankish (I hope Frankish in this screen is Germanic Frankish and not again French...)
