Implementation in another mod: You may take this mod and kill it, stab it, even burn it, under the condition that you credit me as the mod author.

Nice mini-mod.

I think I'd like to integrate this sometime in the future, if you don't mind.

As a suggestion, perhaps similarly to the English melting pot, a Bosnian culture could arise if the Kingdom of Bosnia is founded? If I can integrate it I'd think of doing something like that, so if you don't feel like doing it I can provide you the code once I get around to it.

I was actually hoping you'd say that.

Take it, burn it, stab it, do whatever you want with it.

The only problem I see is making an actual Bosnian culture, since using the one on the New Cultures thread is just bad (It contains obviously Muslim/Turkish names like Emira and Dženana - for Christian Bosnians). Making a copy of the Croatian culture would be easiest.

 

[SBolshevik]

Updated with some minor new stuff!

Awesome stuff. Is the Bosnian name list you have based on your own research or is it just copypasta of Croat names and so on?

A copypasta of the Croat names. I'm planning to redo the entire Serbo-Croatian subgroup's namelists, though.

 

[SBolshevik]

Just started looking through the Serbo-Croatian name lists, and oh, OH!!!! I remembered how awful they are.
A few examples:
-Grana = branch
-Kera = female dog
-Duga = rainbow
-Namena = intention
-Majka = mother
-Luka = port/male name Lucas (it's a female name in the files, too)

I've heard some users say on other threads a while back that the Slavic names in general are pretty bad, to put it politely, including the Croats and Serbs and Russians. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any revamps of these Slavic vanilla cultures on the new cultures thread

Maybe I can "save the day"!
Here's some work done on the lists, mostly removing nonsensical names:
Serbian:

                male_names = {
		    Vartolomej_Bartolomeus Boleslav Borna Branimir Budimir Danilo_Daniel Djordje_George Dmitar Dobroslav Dragija Dragos Dragutin Gavrilo_Gabriel Godimir Goran
			Grgur_Gregory Ilija Ivan_John Josif_Joseph Josip_Joseph Konstantin_Constantine Krsto_Christian Lazar Ljudevit Luka_Lucas Marko_Marcus Matija_Matthew Mihailo Mihovil Milorad Milutin Miroslav_Miroslav Mislav Nenad Nikodim_Nicodemus Nikola_Nicholas
			Ninoslav Petar_Peter Porin Prvoslav Radoslav Rastko Ratomir Sinisa_Simon Slavko Slobodan Stefan_Stephen Teodosije_Theodosios Uros Vladimir_Vladimir Vladislav_Vladislav Vlastimir
			Vuk_Lupo Vukan_Lupo Vukasin_Lupo Vukoman Zoran Zvonimir
		}
		female_names = {
			Agata_Agatha Barbara Branimira Desislava Dubravka Elena_Helen Jelena Karolina Lovorka Marija_Maria Milka Neda Radica Zdenka Andjela Antonija
			Biljana Bojana Dejana Dragana Dragoslava Dusica Gordana Jabuka Jagoda Jovana Jovanka 
			Ljubica Malina Milinka Miljana Mirjana Nada
		}

Croatian:

                male_names = {

Waited for something like this for ages.
Will try it out now!
:laugh:

Added some South Slavic cultural names for provinces and duchies in the area - and this is beginning to look a bit more like a general South Slavic flavour mod. I haven't forgotten the original focus of Bosnia, and I'm thinking of adding a small element of what the mod is named after.

Ignore this, what I wanted to do involved modifying the map, and what I wanted to do was extremely hard unless I completely change the entire region's map, along with moving the Danube where it actually belongs.

 

[SBolshevik]

Just in case nobody noticed, I put up a small update last night.

 

[Antrolf]

Great mini mod. The only thing that I dislike is the colour of the kingdom, but that's easy to fix myself I guess.

I'll take the colour from EU, and maybe give Croatia and Serbia their EU colours, too.

Yeah, that would probably look nice.

 

[SBolshevik]

Here's what it looks like with EU4 colours:

Looks quite a lot nicer, to be honest.

 

[cybrxkhan]

Croatia's green looks too similar to Sicily's for my taste, and it kind of doesn't fit with the other reddish/pinkish colors in the Balkans, but Bosnia and Serbia look nice.

Hmm...I'll get the old colour of Croatia back, to see if it fits nicely with the rest.
BTW, this'll be released when I get more names into the name lists; The Bosnian one is killing me, since I'm not sure how exactly to make it different from the other two. Maybe it wont be very different from the Croatian one in the end.

 

[Antrolf]

Nice! Looking forward to the next release.

Edit: Also I have a question. Did there exist a Slovenian culture (or most likely a predecessor of it) during the Ck2 time span? If so, are you going to add that as well?
