Can you tell us what international organization are in the region?

Catholic Church, and pretty sure Slesvig is partially in HRE

Sorry if someone else's asked, are those gray stripes wartime occupation?
Are the orders and the Lithuanians in the middle of a war in 1337?

yes

 

[Johan]

Johan, why do y'all barely ever show the area map, by the way? Is it a secret or something?

cause we have a bug where seazone names overlaps everything so it looks like shit there.

 

[Johan]

Do the Sami and other uncentralized people have a landless tag or other stuff to represent them other than culture/ are they playable ?

We will talk about them in a Tinto Talks later on

 

[Johan]

It's really nice of you guys having so many Finno-Ugric cultures in the game considering they are all gonna di...culture converted in like 100 years

how?

 

[Johan]

That... looks like a LOT of free real estate ready for the taking/colonization in the northern part of the map.

Not sure I'd use the word "free"

 

[Johan]

You actually made Scane Danish and even made them playable? You're not Swedish afterall.

They are ruled by Sweden

 

[Johan]

Could I have the population numbers for Northern Norway? I have made a spreadsheet based on population estimates recognized internally in the country and been in touch with some historians and would like to be able to compare the relative population of the parts of the country. I will try to post some other corrections to the maps as well.

its like 100 or 150 in each location.

 

[Johan]

Will Project Caesar have a graphical terrain map like the default one in EU4? Is this planned or a work in progress?

yes

 

[Johan]

First reactions:
- Koppo? Did you mean Koppö, the old name of Kristinestad?

Yes.. Using the "keys" to localization file tends to not give us the umlauts

 

[Johan]

Will recreating Swedens EU4 borders with colonization be something wich will take a entire century or be relativiely quick?

It depends, balance is not set in stone yet.. even in 1444 it was not colonized really.

 

[Johan]

3) Would a Geatish culture make sense? Elfdalian? IDK, correct me Scandinavian friends.

Geatish is about 200 years dead and assimilated. 1337 swedish culture is basically more geats than the old svear.

 

[Johan]

Why is Sweden just "Sweden" and Norway is the "Kingdom of Norway"?

Norway is bigger on the map.

 

[Johan]

- Could we see a more precise population breakdown of the Finnish provinces? I feel like the Swedish population might be overrepresented here. The earliest estimate I could find quickly was from 1610, when 17.5% of the population of Finland was Swedish-speaking, according to Wikipedia. And Swedish settlement in Finland was still in progress when the game starts.

The data we have show extremely low numbers in Finland

 

[Johan]

Wouldn't it be better to just call the Bornholm location Bornholm?

We consistently try to name locations after town or villages if possible.

 

[Johan]

Shouldnt Viborg be called Viipuri? Cuz yu know, it's a Finnish city.

If it was owned by a finnish speaking country yes.

 

[Johan]

Talking about culture, since you could make the case they were Scanian.

They are danes.

 

[Johan]

Isn't the Hanseatic league an I.O?

no

 

[Johan]

Let's say, Sweden can convert 20 people per year, they would be able to convert the vast majority of these locations in less than 50 years

thats the lowest populated location in 5 years..

 

[Johan]

An earlier Tinto maps than usual? Can't complain about that. However something that caught my eye at a first glance is the location name of Varanger, which is wrong on two levels, as Varanger itself isn't a settlement nor a town nor is it located at the location its shown, it is a peninsula, specifically where the location of Vardo is.

Technically the fjord is named Varanger as well.
