Here's a little extra thing that I posted on the Vanilla mod forum:
Real Gjermundbu and Coppergate Helmets
The Scots culture is fully fleshed out. This issue is caused by a conflicting mod. Do you have any mod (other than HIP and NHO) that edits 00_cultures.txt?Have the Scots characters not been added to the history files yet? Whenever I go to the 11th Century and onwards bookmarks, the south of Scotland is noculture/noreligion.
@Erilaz
I've checked the new helmets and they're compatible with HIP'S CPR but not with BLG's compatible version, since the frames are all over the place.
Will you give it a shot when you're not busy?
Cheers.
Would Better Balkans and Carpathians cause this? It's the only other culture mod I use.The Scots culture is fully fleshed out. This issue is caused by a conflicting mod. Do you have any mod (other than HIP and NHO) that edits 00_cultures.txt?
You can also post your list of mods, so I can check.
Ah, I thought you'd already seen my answer:

Yes, our two submods are unfortunately incompatible.Would Better Balkans and Carpathians cause this? It's the only other culture mod I use.
No worries mate.Oh, I must have missed it. Sorry about that.
I was wondering whether it would be better to turn off CTA if starting with later bookmarks. I like playing the HYW bookmark in England and it seems, from what I've read, that it would be more historically accurate to play without the CTA submod activated in this situation. I was just curious whether you agreed or if I was mistaken. I think CTA is awesome but more appropriate for earlier bookmarks.I'm not sure, but if one would prefer to use the liege levies exclusively for later administrations, that's possible. The issue would be balance since a liege with CTA would be able to raise a lot more troops than someone with only liege levies.
Personally I don't see a reason to change it though, it's only relevant for very late game, if at all, and it would cause too many issues.
I'm not sure which approach is most appropriate for later bookmarks, but yes, I think it's best to go either or - since mixing the two systems is problematic at best.I was wondering whether it would be better to turn off CTA if starting with later bookmarks.

From my point of view (which admittedly in this case is mostly based on linguistics, and a limited historical knowledge of the areas) it would make more sense to have something like a three-step melting pot:
1. Pre-Rus Eastern Slavs (excluding Christian name elements) - one big or alternatively split up in some way that I can't be the judge of currently...
2. Early Rus (including a minority of Norse name elements) - possibly only spreading to areas directly under Norse/Early Rus rule.
3. Christian Russians (Excluding Scandinavian and older name elements, but including Christian ones) - triggered when Christianity spreads, and melts from both of the above.
Pre-Rus (Slověnĭskŭ?) --> Early Rus (Rusĭ/Rusinŭ) --> Russian (Rusĭskŭ/Rusĭskyi).
(The ĭ/ъ and ŭ/ь can also be dropped, at least in the later names).
Here's a really good source of information (with links to primary sources etc.):
https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?threads/early-rusĭ-names.302029/
Also, it was discussed in this thread.
The pre-Norse Rus' and Norse underling Rus' setup takes place long before most primary sources about the Rus', so it's kind of hard to judge how accurate they would be from my perspective (remember, plenty of Rus' who weren't under Greek rite rulers still converted to Greek rite Christianity, e.g. the Rusyns).
However, such a melting pot would still fail to recreate the variety within Rus' even after they Christianized. The best example of this pertains to a lot of archeological evidence showing that groups of Rus' in North and Northwest were both extremely literate (when the rest of East Slavdom very likely wasn't) and had a dialect that has certain, odd features that perplexed linguists for quite a while. This group's epicenter was in Novgorod, but the birch bark letters written in its dialect have been found in dig sites much further away as well. While a lot of linguists in the past put "Old Novgorod" as a dead-end offshoot from Old East Slavic because they didn't know where else to put it, from what I have read about it, it very likely emerged in parallel with other, regional variants of Old East Slavic, and its unique features are explained by cross-pollination with nearby Finno-Ugric languages that have since become extinct (Volga-Finns). BTW, those birch bark letters really are quite interesting to read and to look at. There are even some letters that seem to have been written by children, and one of them seem to have been made by a child practicing their spelling (and it even has a little stick figure in the corner, probably made by that same child).
To know where to make splits for the rest of East Slavdom, it may also be advantageous to look at what mistakes certain authors made when writing contemporary texts. Aside from those birch bark letters, the only surviving texts in East Slavic that we have are either written in Old Church Slavonic or heavily influenced by Old Church Slavonic. In a lot of cases, authors tried to adhere to Old Church Slavonic as much as possible because it was seen as such a prestigious language, but they'd also often make systematic mistakes betraying the specific regional variant of East Slavic that they spoke. Honestly though, I'm only mentioning this because there really isn't much else off of which to go.

@Erilaz is your goal to make Protorussian to be Russian without Norse influence, or are you aiming for more archaic version, something between Proto-Slavic and Old Russian?
