The Brythons of Dumnonia are what I would term the Romano-British. I also haven't decided if I want to go with implementing my drastically different Britannia with Sarmatians in or just keep a tamer version in game.
The Saxons are a nice idea, I would have Wessex, Merica, Northumberland. Perhapse remove the christian Danes, and cut the Danelaw area into competing groups. Scotland is good apart from some missing localisation for the celtic pagans, High chief ect. A clique of Samaritans ruling over bythons would make sense somewhere. I imagine they would be Arian?
I would rename England as something as it seems a bit generic ATM.

I'm finding that I'm unable to spread my religion with my court chaplain in any religion. Usually I would give the land to my heir if I wanted to keep this county to convert it, but my court chaplain's no matter how high their learning is refuse to convert counties, but they'll do courtiers. D: I sometimes have to use the console and cheat a bit or it'll ruin the whole game when a heresy just keeps on spreading.
With Saba, I inherited Makuria, and I remember that I turned some provinces into Almaqah following ones. So, conversion is posible n.n
Conversion is quite possible! Large religious blocks always form later in game. I will look into it though. I might up the chance of conversion somewhat.
Conversion chance even with a good chaplain is currently under 3%. I've had some success with conversions, I've also had chaplains sitting on a province for decades on end without a conversion.
I might be a bit rusty on the Sarmatians but where they ever in Britain? I would leave them out for now anyway and concentrate on areas less finished and then maybe at a later date write them in if you feel strongly for them but again Britain???
Hmmm, I honestly did not realize it was quite that low. I will tweak it.

Yep, the Sarmatians were not only in Britain but in a lot of other places as well.
I'm not touching Britain yet though in anycase.
I have seriously not been able to find anything about the Samaritans being in Britain other than they may have some ties genetically with the Celts in France but that is about it. It must be a legend I am not familiar with or some other piece of history. Well never mind if you want a tribe of Iranians in Britain that is your call. But I am curious now if you could point me in the direction of a piece that puts them in Britain because that sounds cool and I am sure Redrooster would find it somewhat helpful for his a matter of Britain mod thx.
I have read that they where at the Danube river and places in France but never in as one of the Legions in Britain. I would love to read about that because as stated that is so cool and would mean that the Scythian-Sarmatian tribe travelled much farther than I suspected.
edit:Found some texts myself and ahh I get where this is coming from the film King Arthur was based partly on these theories that Sarmatians was being brought over by the Romans and that it is still an ongoing discussion wether they came, stayed or did not come, came but did not stay and so on. I see this is actually feasible with Sarmatians in Britain in this mod carry on and I will give the info to Redrooster as well for his mod.

RedRooster himself posted this link earlier in the thread after I showed him my Sarmatian British stuff from the timeline:

It's a fun read.

I've GREATLY upped conversion rate. (too much I think - please give feedback on how it works in practice).
I've also lowered mercenary vassals hire costs (again too much i think - will expect feedback on that too hopefully)
I actually just read a theory that the Sarmatians adopted the dragon from China and that they brought it to Britain which actually makes kind sense when you think about it.
I'm lazy so rather than make a new Illyrian culture and put Dardania in, I put in a Gothic Kingdom remnant of the Ostrogothic Balkans. I've also upgraded Coloneia to the Kingdom of Cappadocia.
That's awesome.
Could possibly the Ostrogoths be given their own culture like the Visigoths?

Maybe in the future atm they're under the Teutonic umbrella, like the Ostrogoths in Crimea. I think playing the Goths of the Balkans is going to be a fun hardcore experience... They start with a strong bastion with the Adalinge Herjis legendary tradition, I also made their leader a brilliant strategist...a descendant of High King Theodemar. It's going to be hardcore but if all the stars align maybe a new Theodoric the Great will rise.
EDIT: I also think they have the coolest flag
and a proper color for their kingdom hehe, you will see what I mean.
I am thinking of making an easter egg ninja change to the setup I won't mention. MAYBE.
In any case I've also given the Ostrogothic High King wannabe the ambitious and zealous traits to help him out a bit.

I think I'm going to post the update soon because the fixes to creatable empires are worth getting out and the other various tweaks and fixes. Please tell me what else you think needs tweaking.
