So, currently we have Arkona in Rana, Pruszkow in Plock, Tikhvin in Novgorod, Yuriev in Kiev and Husi in Birlad.
At first when seeing the screenshots I was outraged by Tikhvin and Yuriev, I mistakingly thought those were one of the new provinces added. (Since Yuriev is how Tartu was known back then and Tikhvin I thought is somewhere on the Finnish border.) Turns out those were just the names of holdings. So I appologise for my initial reaction. You were absolutely correct to place them in Novgorod and Kiev, kudos for that, lads. Now the only thing that is left to do is renaming Tikhvin to "Peryn'" and Yuriev to... dunno Lysa Gora or "Shekavitsa" (no English wiki entry, sorry).
Holy sites in Plock and Birlad are questionable, though, from a historical point of view. Yes, now we are aware, that historicity is not what devs had in mind in this particular instance. Anyways, keeping that in mind, allow us to present the following variants instead of those two:
1. Lower Silesia. This was most definitely a major holy site. The holding should be named "Ślęża" (since we use the Norse funny characters why not also use the funny Polish ones? And the Czech ones
Cooler that way.) or "Slenja".
2. The next one is a tough one. Krakow and Sieradz were proposed and both are fine by me. But they are rather close to the previous one. If you, devs, don't mind this fact than by all means make either of those the holy site. If not - consider Sacz, Sandomierz or Pinsk, since the Pripyat' marshland is the most probable Proto-Slavic homeland with the most ancient Slavic hydromyns known. "Birlad" was a Slavic backwater and had a mixed population of Slavic tribes of Tiverians and Ulichians (which btw are not present in game, yes I'm looking at you PDS -.-), also Vlahs and steppe peoples. It just doesn't feel right to have a Slavic holy site there. And it's very close to Kiev too.
One more thing - could you make the West Slavic pic for religious holdings the same as Norse and East Slavic one? This would make more historic sense.
Since there most likely will be a patch soon, please PDS, make those cosmetic, but very pleasant changes.
