Terra Mariana
Also known as Old Livonia, Terra Mariana corresponds roughly to the areas of today's Estonia and Latvia. My main motivation to this mod was the fact that I didn't like the way Estonia and Livonia were split between Finland and Lithuania in the vanilla game. As theocracies cannot craete kingdoms, I believe it won't affect the Teutonic Order at a later start date.
So I added another de jure kingdom between Finland and Lithuania composed of the duchies of Estonia, Livonia and Courland. The county of Daugava was joined into Livonia. Vodi was removed from Estonia and put into Finland. There are some other changes in Rus and Poland too to make borders smoother.
The coat of arms is just a simple argent, a cross sable. It uses a copy of the file for the Breton band mercenaries.
Another significant change in this mod is the inclusion of the Estonian culture which replaces the made-up and completely not-real culture called Ugric Baltic (whatever that is supposed to mean). It includes a set of names that are supposedly old Estonian names (i.e. pre-christian). I also changed the culture of the local rulers in the history files.
If you have any suggestions, I would be glad to hear them.
Personally, I think these points need to be addressed too:

Personally, I think these points need to be addressed too:
- Adding the Livonian culture.
- I don't know much about the Baltic tribes (Latvians), so if you have any ideas to improve the Latgalian culture, let me know.
- Any other culture that needs to be added.
- Changing the province borders, and names.
- Revising all the names of the baronies. I know some of them are wrong but that is a lot of work.
- Adding political entities and history files for pre-Crusade dates.
- Other language translations, currently the texts are only in English.
