(and geographical inaccuracy, but we'll get to that later)
This thread is specifically about the messed up cultures in the balkans (no, the threads won't stop until it is fixed; would you stop posting threads if France was upside down, english cultured with 3 french provinces in Italy?) as well as the messed up geography. I won't touch up all the inaccuracies, since I'm sure there are more than I know, so I'm going to focus on what I know about and bothers me, greatly.
Let us start with the culture...
First, we have the Vlachs. A culture that from what I could infer is supposed to be romanian culture, which at the time of writing has an estimate of about 28 million total romanians (living in Romania, Moldova and diaspora). They have all been bunched up in 3 provinces, with only a single vlach count in the Old Gods start (867) and no vlach counts in Charlemagne.
This brings us to the avars, who have suddenly become the sole culture in all of Pannonia, all the way up to the Black Sea, even though they were a nomad tribe that pretty much disappeared after the magyars came there; not to mention Transylvania "suddenly" becoming majoritary romanian by 1500-1600, through supposed emigration I'm guessing? It really makes no sense and also detracts from the joy of playing the game whenever I even come close to this region.
Then we have the Dniestr, which between 768 and 2014 has shifted about 400 km east, and is continuing its movement until it will end in the steppes of Mongolia, and the Danube which, incapable of moving east due to being perpendicular to the black sea, has grown a delta instead, trying to grasp for the nearest escape from a horribly inaccurate region.
