Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
I am comparing 2 very pseudo historic ethnic groups in game within games timeframe. As I see it if you can answer affirmatively the question "Do these people had a habit of getting into boats and sailing to raid other people at some point around years 867- 1066?" then they get longboats and ability to sea raid. I think Curonians qualify. In any case Im not sure why you are so hanged up about boats, like, its one of the least fucked up things about setup of Baltic region.
What do you mean here? I don't quite get what you mean by "keep track of important events."
"Curonian" (c(h)ori, curones) was a geographical term up until the 13th century and the "Curonian" raiders were most likely Finnics living in Curonia which was majority Finnic until the 12th century. Those "Curonian raiders" were either fully Finnic or had been Finnic rather recently. Those are the most popular hypothesis at this point in time.
Curonians were named as a people at least as early as the 12th century. Wikipedia cites the Norna-Gests þáttr saga:
It's also referring to events in 750, so it's quite possible that the name goes at least that far back.

I'm referring to something akin to CK2's message system, which would inform you of important events such as inter realm wars being started or titles of people you are following being lost, etc. As an example, I had pinned a duke (and vassal) I was conspiring against, but then found out later he had lost his title. I had to go to the tile history screen to find he had lost it over a month prior in a war for the title, a war which I never knew about even though it was among my own subjects. But pinning characters really only helps you find them or know when they die, so unless you're clicking on various people all the time you'll get very little news about what's going on.
Ah, ok. Thanks for explaining!

The Curonians, the tribe, they were Baltic, yes. That is a fact. Curonians the people from Curonia is different. The thing is that when Curonians are mentioned in written sources then up until the 13th century it could denote either the Finnic Curonians (Livonians or related to the Livonians) of the Curonian peninsula or the ethnically Baltic Curonians. It came from geography, as both groups came from Curonia. When Curonians are mentioned in pre-13th century written sources then it was not an ethnic term but a geographic one. Just like everyone from the British Isles in the CK time frame aren't English.Curonians were named as a people at least as early as the 12th century. Wikipedia cites the Norna-Gests þáttr saga:

I'm not quite sure where you got the notion that the notion of the Curonians being Finnic is "the most popular hypothesis at this point in time." I'm not very familiar with the topic, but the little bit of research I did seems to show that the view of them as Baltic is quite dominant, with a very small minority believing they were Finnic.
(I'm talking about scholars here - I have no idea what the man on the street believes, nor does it matter.
If you dont reform Pagan you wont have acces to Holy wars with is really needed If you wanna expand and pope still calls crusades against you
Yup, those are among the trade-offs. To raid you need to be either unreformed or tribal.
