Russia and the Steppes

[Undead Martyr]

So is there any chance of getting a patch or integrating Project Oikoumene? Letting Novgorod (the city) be the actual republic capital, plus boosting the steppes, seems like a good idea. The Khazars in particular inevitably die way too quickly in the current version.

Novgorod is a republic in SWMH for later start dates. And the Steppes have not been overhauled in SWMH yet. Perhaps it will become a bit more competitive once it receives some more provinces/holdings.

I think he meant that the capital of the Republic is not in Novgorod but in some random province north of the city - I agree that this must be rectified!

And the only way to do that is to make Novgorod a coastal province- hence the PO creator making the lake/rivers between the Baltic and the Black sea zones.

I support this idea, although during winter it should be possibly closed off maybe? (not sure if possible engine-wise)

The Ilmen Lake is coastal in SWMH thankfully Just makes a Novgorodian capital in Ingria all the more jarring.

And I think closing off a port is not possible

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post (and would appreciate someone pointing to the right place).

I'm new to HiP, coming from CK2+, I love all the work that was put in to Eastern Europe.
The only major thing I would like to see is adding more cultures under the East Slavic group, for more variety and fun based on whatever historical justifications.

I assume you mean for 867 because they don't really make sense for 1066 as far as i'm aware?

As long as your suggestions don't include making the cultures too small (a criteria for adding a culture is that it has to have a certain size, more than 1-2 provinces is the minimum) and as long as you don't split up cultures where the regional variations are small enough that although adding a culture could be justified it would be slightly pointless, then the team is usually all ears.
