For example, civs without an independent empire elsewhere, but has certain level of autonomy will have my first priority. If you really want a reasoning behind, I mostly colour by the extent of related empires, but with some exception.
Nationalism is not a thing until late 19th century. I'm definitely not colouring my map according to inhabitants though because it was medieval time and in general different groups of people co-existed peacefully (for the peasants). Sorry for the rant but I think you get the point. Not to mentions all the overlapping or subgroup of civs in game, like Bulgarians and Slavs, Saracens and Berbers, and the whole central Asia is a hot mess, like Ghurid Dynasty is a Persianized Muslim Kingdom in Northern India, or Timurid Empire is a Persianized Muslim Kingdom from a Mongols descendants and is classified as Tatar in game, or the Mughal Empire which is a continuation of Timurid Empire but now it is in India. With the Christianisation of the Nordic Countries, the Viking culture vanished.Īs I mentioned in the map, the definition of "civilizations" of this game is not consistent: we have Byzantines referring to a clear, designated, specific empire Magyars referring to a specific kingdom by a specific ethnicity Berbers referring to both the nomads and the Kingdom that they are involved in Slavs referring to a broad ethnicity group, and Indians referring people living a certain area who might not be as related as we think. Many consider 1066 the end of the Vikings. The Crimean Khanat, which controlled the area at the time, I consider more Tatarish than Cumanish, but it is hard to draw the line. You placed the Cumans in the Crimean area, but their culture vanished in the 13th century and the merged with the local population (Magyars, Bulgarians, Mongols). Labelling them as Teutonic, which acts as a proxy for Germanic countries, seems wrong. The Dutch already deviated heavily from what we consider Germans today. The Netherlands should be coloured in the colour of Burgundy, as it was the controlling force at the time. Lithuania was controlling a huge part of Eastern Europe at that time, but I was mostly inhabited by Slaves (Ukrainians, Belarusians, Russians, even some Poles) What was your reasoning to colour a certain area with a civ? Has the civ to be the dominant population in this area? Or does it have to be the controlling civ in this area? Does the population living there have been emerged from this civ? In the next part I am mainly talking about the situation in 1453.īecause if you want to colour the map according to their inhabitants, Wales should still be Celtic in 1453.
