Hi, I haven't played this game in a while but I came back, I wanted to do a Lithuanian campaign and I saw this:
Now, I'm a Lithuanian, so most foreigners wouldn't think anything of it, but I'm confused and would like to figure out what the developers were thinking when they made these changes. Don't take this as me whining or whatever, but I'm kinda upset how they managed to mess up so many things. You could easily say 'no one cares', but I'm sure that a lot of Lithuanians do
1. First off, the weirdest thing: Kaunas, or rather, Kowno which is the Polish name for it. Why is it named Kowno? I have literally no idea.
2. Novogrodek. That county basically eats up half of the historic Vilnius county. If you were to unify Lithuania, it would look so ugly. Ugly borders aside, the old borders were pretty much accurate in terms of Lithuanian inhabitants and political borders, and somebody decided to change that for whatever reason.
3. Lomza-Trakai border. The old borders, again, were pretty much accurate. The Yatviagi, or Jotvingiai, were a Baltic tribe, and inhabited most of the old Yatviagi counties territory. In whatever update changed this, its basically split up now, and a new county named Lomza appeared, taking a big portion of Lithuanian territories with it.
4. Trakai. If you take a look at google maps and search for Trakai, you'll quickly find out that the location where Trakai is placed in the game is not accurate. Once again, the old county placement was accurate. In real life, Trakai was a capital for some time, and for the time frame where CK2 takes place, it should be even more important than Vilnius really.
Those are the weird things I saw and I would like to figure out what happened here. How did they screw up so many things, including placing one of the historical capital locations completely elsewhere from where its supposed to be? It's certainly nothing game breaking, but its immersion breaking to say the least, and it comes as a big surprise from a company who usually pays a lot of attention to these kinds of things.
