As I've had a lull in the workload at the university, I decided to revisit those Britannia events I have been working on, and re-discovered how strange the cultural layout in Interregnum seems to be. This is just a thread to comment on them, and possibly find out why they are that way.
Firstly, Cymric. Why is it its own culture, rather than being part of Gaelic? If Eire controls it, it becomes Gaelic anyways. The only other country with Gaelic culture is Scotland, and it usually loses it by the time it is in position to annex Cymru. I propose simply integrating Cymric into Gaelic, and maybe giving Scotland a tax penalty if they take it.
Secondly, the strange distribution between Slavonic and Romanian. The three Romanian provinces essentially cut the Slavonic area in half. Also, Wallachia, Bulgaria, and Moldova own one of each, requiring them all to have both cultures, and kind of defeating the point of having a separate Romanian culture. Furthermore, why does Byzantium have Slavonic culture? They rarely, if ever, expand in that direction.
Thirdly, Settled Turcoman vs. Nomadic Turcoman. Every nation that has one of them as accepted has the other and they seem to be scattered about, hampering the various GH revolters such as Kazan and Crimea, since they only get one of those. Maybe some sort of event-based conflict between nomadic turcomen and the settled ones? Have event options to make you choose between which of the two cultures you will favor, leading you to either get more troops (make the nomadic provinces high-manpower) or more money (by concentrating tax in the settled areas).
Fourthly, what is up with Bedouin? It seems to be randomly scattered about Arabic areas. It seems like it could be a similar dynamic to the settled vs. nomadic turcomen though. Hmm... event sequence ideas...
Fifthly, the Mongol culture is divided into two sections - one near China, and the other in the Il-Khanate. Furthermore, it is divided into two by Uighur, which is also a somewhat mongol-like culture.
Sixthly, the random spot of Malay culture in Champa territory (southern Vietnam).
Seventhly, Taiwan, as well as all of Zimbabwe, have Unique culture. This is made even more peculiar by the fact that Zimbabwe has Shona as its state culture.
Eighthly, Quiang. What is it supposed to represent, and what is its point? It appears in one province only, and is not a state culture for anyone.
I am not criticizing anything, was just curious if there was/is a point behind those specific decisions that I seem to be missing.
