Sure! I wish I told you sooner. It must be really annoying and a big waste of time. When I get home I will try.

I havent started to try and fix it yet, my guess is the char ids in some of the files are too long, so if it is the char files I'll know where to start.
Hi @Damarrocarion
First off - great mod, thanks for filling the gap between the dark age and the true middle ages, I still don't know why PDX hasn't done this themselves.
That being said I just wanted to give some feedback. I started as the Duke of Kent in 935 with no other mods. With some effort and a tiny bit of console help
I managed to kill of the invading Dubliners and was rewarded a few years later by being elected King. It is now 1005 or so and I am having a great time, having centralised the kingdom and subdued both Wales and the Duchy of the Orkneys (some damned raiders just pushed me TOO DAMNED FAR !).
Every once in a while I like to stop my games and walk around the map to see what's happening in the world So far its all good - France and Aquitaine are still in a death grip, the HRE is still chewing up the east and pushing into Italy, the Christians are slowly pushing back against the Ummayads in Spain and after a brief revival the Abbies are at 100% decadence and set to explode. All is good in the world !
I did find however that at least three rulers had the culture of "noculture", including the High Chief of Island, the Sultan of Egypt and the Duke of Cyprus. It seems that their parents all had no culture as well, I console killed the Sultan of Egypt (and somehow opened it up to a Turkish clan taking over two generations later), but I kept the rest as they had already spawned dozens of kids and I was too lazy to console culture change the lot of them. I checked your history files and the only possibly strange thing I could pick up was that character 2001010101 (Olaf Guthfrithson) has culture ="norse" rather than culture = norse, I'm not sure if that makes a difference. I couldn't find the other characters in the lists, but I must admit I haven't dug too deeply yet.
I have just reads through this entire thread and I am not sure if this related to a bug you had earlier this year or just a simple typo or bug error, so this is just a head sup.
The second thing I have noticed is that there seems to be very little fighting going on. This could just be my playthrough as I know a lot of this is dependent upon circumstance, but at once stage I checked and only found half a page of wars going on at once rather than the usual 2-3 pages. My guess is that since there are very few claims at the start there aren't enough CBs available to get everyone fighting, now that 2-3 generations have passed I expect all the pretenders to come out of the woodwork and start making a mess of Europe. Just some feedback for your consideration.
Once again though thanks for the mod, it really is great having an option between the Abbablobs and Willie the Bastard.

I will look into the culture thing. I don't think it makes difference if the code is culture=norse or culture="norse" though. If there are issue with cultures, then it is an error in cultures.txt or in those particular characters like having typo culture="nose" or something of the sort
For example, there was a bug in east_african culture group which made Nubians "noculture" because it missed a bracket in code.

Thanks for the reply. I'm getting more characters showing up as noculture so it might just be a vanilla thing.
Still loving the bookmark !
I think this might be related to education bug discussed earlier. Nobody starts with noculture but they might somehow lose the culture during education. Can you observe these noculture dudes whether they get traits, etc?

I experienced some crashes with this mod initially.
The mod loaded fine and I could play a new game fine and save my progress. However, when I resigned my game to the main menu I would get a CTD, and every time I tried to load a save game I would CTD.
I may have found a work around. If I load the mod, start a game in 935, save that game, then quit CK2, unload the mod, then restart the game I can load the save file in 935 without a CTD.
Not sure if this will mess up anything else in the mod but will see how it goes
Save game issues aside, this is a fantastic mod that demonstrates a huge amount of work and dedication. Thanks for creating it

I thank you for this - being able to play in this time period is something that I've always wanted to do. Now, I'm currently having a problem, which I'm unsure if it has been seen before. Basically, whenever I attempt to load save games from starts in this mod, the game immediately terminates, leaving with me looking at my desktop. This is the only mod that seems to be doing this, vanilla is fine as well. Any ideas on how to get those saves back? I really want to get back to reconquering Persia in the name of Ahura Mazda and the Great Shah Mardavij.
Not sure really. Perhaps the trick above could work? I hope to tweak this MOD a bit when next DLC hits.
Personally I have not met those crashes yet,
at least consistent.
I also have AD 821 coming up after being requested a bookmark between CM & ToG where you can play Babak Khorramdin.
I had the same peoblem but it works just fine if you load the save file without the mod enabled.
The loading without activating the mod seems to work, but some characters culture has seemingly been changed to noculture.
If someone is more qualified with Validator, perhaps he could help me check if there are massive errors in character files. Some character files might also been saved in wrong format like was the case with education bug (for example, bulgarian.txt was wrong) when I have done updates.
Likewise, if anyone has suggestions on adding people, giving claims, friends/foes etc. feel free to give them here as I will update this MOD when next DLC hits.

Nope. They are free to make it so but I think this is not professional enough for them.
Changes which will appear to next patch:
- Add some rulers under Ziyarids, including land to current (Sunni) Karen dynasty member in Bavandid court so he can be played initially and historical Baduspanid ruler to Rayy. Technically both should own a baronies at this stage)
- Make Mahoyapuram county religion Nestorian to simulate presence there (bit like 1066 Daman is Zoroastrian to simulate Parsi diaspora)
- Ruler of Salerno is missing, this will be fixed.
- Orbatello now holds prince-bishopric under k_italy and is unplayable. This will be corrected.
- Vassals hating their liege in k_italy will simply be assigned as rivals.
- Mardavij will get d_eshefan as his primary title
- Remnants of Suebi/Visigothic culture will be removed from map (this might cause a culture bug)
If people want me to add claims, friendship, etc. tell me.
