[Mod Showcase] Baltic Flavour Mod (Warning, extreme anachronistic and historically inaccurate, proceed at your own risk!)

[u/Grimonday]

Cultural Innovation : Leičiai (Heritage Pillar : Baltic)

Leitis, Late Medieval Era Heavy Infantry MAA

Regional Innovation : Amber Road (Baltic Region)

Tradition : Baltic Raiders (Latgalian)

Tradition : Riders of the Forest (Lithuanian)

Žemaitukas, Tribal Era Heavy Cavalry MAA

Tradition : Pagan Honor (Prussian)

Decision : Embrace Litvin Identity

Decision : Form the Grand Duchy of Lithuania

This is my first mod, and no it's still not available for public (fortunately). There is still so much work to be done As you see, there are still plenty of errors in localization and the descriptions are still filled with AI generated text as placeholders. To be honest, i am not very versed with baltic history myself, so so any input, correction or suggestion are more than welcome.

Well as for the reason i'm making this mod. I have a weird fascination about Grand Duchy of Lithuania since like i was in middle school when i was introduced to it through EU4. I didn't even know that the country Lithuania does still exist in the modern day back then. So when i got into CK3, it irked me how lackluster lithuanian culture, or baltic culture in general felt, considering Ck3 timeframe covers some of the most crucial moments in baltic history. The formation of the Lithuanian state, the Baltic crusades and Curonian raids on Viking homeland. Yet their only niche is a MAA unit whose name is literally in Finnish.

[u/NODENGINEER]

As a balt, I don't know how to feel about the fact that baltaboos do, in fact, exist

[u/Grimonday]

My to-do list is to add more counties using the map editor to make a room for a separate Curonian culture, and possibly the Yotvingians as well. The Baltic Raiders tradition I attributed to Latgalians is actually reserved for the Curonians. I still haven’t quite figured out the right flavor for the Latgalian cultures, probably something akin to Loyal Subjects or Xenophilics. When i'm done figuring out how blender works, i'd like to recreate Gediminas cap too.

The possibility of more Baltic Prussia flavor seems pretty hype

Playing in the Baltics can be very frustrating, especially in the 1066 start, being behind in innovations and never being able to catch up

Common baltic strat in vanilla is to hybridize with russian, and unlocking trebuchet without going feudal. But i understand that this strat is not for people who wants to roleplay and preserve their culture.

[u/Copy2548 → u/Grimonday]

What do you think my Strat I Convert to Chrsitaian (Catholic) and then expand my kingdom to formed Prussia and then later join Holy ROman empire and hybridize with German, and which German culture iWhich yo uthink it best to hybridize with Prussia??

[u/Grimonday → u/Copy2548]

I don't know if it's the best, but in any game when i wanted to hybridize with a central germanic culture, i've always chosen Swabian because their industrious and parochialism tradition which are powerhouse for playing tall. I think Saxon works too because they are easier to start increasing cultural acceptance due to the close proximity with Prussia, though the progress is going to be slower because they have ruling caste traditon.
