While having the brown tribal banners in earlier teases, Zoltán is now feudal. Is this final? Also will Carpathia have additional formation requirements? And is Kingdom of Magyar still around as a separate title from Hungary (Zoltán has a strong claim on a kingdom that is likely Magyar)?

Has Kingdom of Lotharingia been deactivated in this start date? Otherwise, what's stopping Giselbert to simply for the Kingdom as he controls all the necessary territory? If it's been deactivate, how are the duchies distributed between France and Germany? And finally, is there a decision to form the Grand Duchy of Lotharingia (similar to Saxony, Swabia & Franconia)?

He is meant to be tribal, not feudal. After a merge, he had accidentally gotten access to a Castle (the bastard). I made sure last night that he lost access to all Castles, and he has returned to his huts.

The Kingdom of Lotharingia has not been deactivated. Nothing stops Giselbert besides gold, I guess?
 
Could you please fix the the title history for the Holu Roman Empire so that they have the correct regnal numbers.

They very literally were "friendly neighbours" for the next 30 years or so, after our start date. Bulgaria has a whole lot of barony holdings in Thracian lands though, so I am sure they'll find reasons to start wars with one another.

Sure, but that´s not the point. (not entirely at least, to be fair)

The question is how does this map lead to the 1066 map? Why would the Byzantines gobble up de jure k-Bulagria in the next 130 years? If the empire of Bulgaria has de jure lands, there is a near zero chance that this will happen. Are there events that cover the byzantine-bulgarian wars of Basil II?

Also, taking presure off Bulgaria means that the (AI-led) tags in de jure k-Sicily as well as de jure k-Serbia are pretty much doomed, getting a disproportionally larger share of "imperial love".
 
Is Kingdom of Arles just being localization for Burgundy with some special rules to be (which ones?), or it's titular title?

The historical Giselbert was referred to as a duke in this era, but he had a lot more authority than dukes in the later middle ages. So the transition from duke to king would, I guess, be a symbol of him decidedly cutting ties with Otto and starting his own realm? Makes me wonder whether he should be prevented from forming a kingdom until he's no longer a tributary of the Karlings, but that's an addition for another time.
 
Could we see the De Jure Kingdoms (and/or Empires) in the new start date?

Any changes to graphical cultures and minor graphical stuff? (like for example putting the Basques back in occitangfx or southerngfx) .

I see there are some new navigable rivers in the Iberian Peninsula... Any new terrain or province changes?

Will the new De Jure Bulgarian Empire exist in other start dates?

A lot of historical border changes don't have a realistic chance of happening during gameplay due to a lack of CBs that could result in something similar, so there's nothing really unique about this case, and things tend to go off the rails quickly enough that later wars don't necessarily make any sense at all (and railroading is not to everyone's liking).

That said, giving the ERE limited access to the Imperial Reconquest CB (say for the area that's de jure part of the kingdoms of Bulgaria, Thrace, Epirus, Greece, Anatolia, and Trebizond (or ideally for the specific duchies in that area, as de jure drift otherwise can mess things up)) might be a good idea.

When someone dies in your dungeon & have no living relatives, you should get their gold. It's only realistic. Also, you should get their artifacts. At the very least their should be a mechanic as to how to the odds are of you catching them with their riches on them & how much riches they would have based off opponents (Intrigue*2*martial*1.25) + greed (if greedy =+25/ your (intrigue*3*martial*1.5) or something formula so its more likely that you catch them with more money when they are greedy.

1) This has nothing to do with the subject matter of the Dev diary or even the expansion.
2) A character's wealth represents their treasury - a sum which it would be all but impossible for them to carry by themselves; and their artefacts are likewise in their treasury unless equipped. I don't think your idea is sensible at all.

What will be the point of next DD? Pagan rulers?

And also what about Spain and Navarra? I'm struggling to continue Requoncista in the first and the second start dates and don't want to it with divided kingdoms in 1066.

Not railroading, but chance of happening, or a plausible (ingame) explanation why A led to B. Railroading would be definitely too much. That being said, de jure k-Sicily and k-Serbia would be railroaded to be eaten prematurely in this setup.

I like the the idea of the limited acces to imperial reconquest CB though, if it is defined well, with clear triggers that unlock it.

Honestly, what is really the point of anything? Why are we doing this? Is everything just a digital simulation?!

(Jokes aside, next DD will be about Muslims. And I didn't want the DD to be too long, so there are a lot of rulers that I missed out on, that you guys will have to find and explore for yourselves.)
