Near enough, I think. I certainly wouldn’t be opposed, it’s a valid fantasy for a Polish player. The fact that it’s outside the period by over 2 centuries makes it less the inclusion less pertinent, but if it’s there I’ll probably do a polish playthrough with exactly that as my goal.
This is hilarious. These are historical borders, one of which lasted just over a century (admittedly past the game’s timeframe, but still) and a few locations in Poland not quite conforming to internal voivodeships isn’t going to meaningfully change gameplay. Allowing various historical external border configurations is more important than having perfectly accurate internal border arrangements. For the same reason it should be possible to achieve French Natural Borders and other historical/aspirational border configurations relevant to the period.

Well “Baltic Paganism” doesn’t sound as cool as “Romuva”, now does it? I mean it does come from a temple that supposedly existed of the religion which according to one source had the head priest of the faith which almost acted like the Pope in Catholicism.

Indeed, Boleslaw the Brave conquests should be possible due to game granularity. Rehabilitating German empire borders, which are historical borders too, wouldn't massacre anything, it's literally just a change of some pixels and a lot of people will want to achieve that look; in fact, it's made less fun right now because they cannot be replicated.
This is not an attack on the people who now live in these regions. Following this logic, no Paradox game should exist because it could be offensive to the whole planet because their modern homeland look somewhat altered and it simulates historical tragic events.
And this is ironic because I got confronted in the past when I asked if Project Caesar was aiming for simulating history, and no, they said PC should be a historical sandbox. Victoria 3 was also said not to be a world conquest game, and... people do it anyways

I thought you were going to add more pagans in Latvia and Estonia. Many ppl said here that a pagan rebellion is going to happen there soon, wouldn't make much sense to be fully christian in that case.

They have stated that they have a policy of using English names where they exist. Basically the most commonly used, academically accepted modern English name is chosen. Native names are nice, but only when you understand them. Navajo, for example, is better understood than Diné.
I believe however that they've stated that a gamerule to switch between native names and English names is being worked on, as well as one to control the changing of names based on culture.

And polish players can’t do this with their internal borders? Which mind you shouldn’t even be visible 90% of the time. “Just squint” is a terrible argument for external borders being misshapen.

My assumption comes from the people that is usually reacting with 'disagree' to any comment that makes the slightly attempt to Poland's inner borders distribution, and the usual kind of 'nationalistic fights' that occur in any Paradox game-related post. It happened quite a lot in the Balkans TM, in the Iberian TM, and the Anatolia/Levant TM.
You're also making assumptions when stating that the whole world doesnt want to build Germany. I've seen the contrary in all those years of user post and video tutorials of how to play as Brandenburg/Teutons/other German state.
To be honest I don't understand how Polish players could be discomforted, they've been listened and they've got a pretty detailed game map of their homeland, they are not being silenced or ignored, and I hope I'm not being misunderstood because I have nothing against my Polish fellow players.
And of course this is personal; in your own case you don't care about this particular are, but some people will and it would be nice to being able to. This was achiveable in the former map and they removed it.
The main advantage of such granularity is that it will suit most of the player base if it's done correctly.

What has this "argument" even devolved to?
- Guys this map is bad because it doesn't let me recreate a country that's outside of the timeframe of the game
- Many such cases
- No you don't get it I NEED to have this specific country's borders be perfect
- That would ruin other countries, just approximate it
- No, YOU approximate it, I NEED mine to be perfect

Would Lechitic be a better name than Polish for the culture group? It sounds better to me

I agree, sounds better and it’s a bit more diverse in what it encompasses.

The partitions of Poland took place from 1772 to 1795. The Congress of Vienna occurred in 1815. Both are within the period of the game. If this is a region which was historically divided and had lots of notable external borders for most of the game’s duration that would be fine, but no the game starts with a mostly united Poland that should centralize soon enough, then has a homogenous Poland, then at the tail end Poland is partitioned. So no this is a case where external borders taking precedence over, or at least being compromised with, internal borders makes sense. The treatment Silesia got is a good example. The province layout is largely accurate to how things were internally divided before the Prussian conquest, but said historical conquest can still be replicated with locations.

The point was precisely that in this case I rather not understand the meaning.

It does sound interesting, though I'd just chalk that up to it sounding exotic. Other than that, it just being the name of a holy site is like calling Christianity "Jerusalem" and doesn't really make sense outside of the Neo-Pagan revival context.

In that case, why not divide Berlin into East and West to satisfy some Russian fantasy? Or better yet, split it into four locations for each occupation zone to satisfy a British-French-American dream? If it's less than 30 years of difference between these German imperial borders and occupation of Berlin.

The linguical divide between the West Slavs is: Czech-Slovak, Sorbian, and Lechitic, which includes The Polish cultures, Kashubian (Pomeranian), and Polabian. If they add Kashubian and Polabian that's how it should be named.

Amazing work! Love to see the improvements in Livonia.
One question I have: Is there a reason why some provinces in the game use English words for things like cardinal directions while some don't? For example Livonia is divided into north, south and inner parts, but Österbotten in Finland is norre and södre. I'm not sure which one I prefer myself. Local language words feel more flavorful but English is easier to understand for most players.
