Are the light blue minorities present throughout Turkmenistan, Khorasan, Afghanistan and parts of Iraq Mongolians? If so, roughly what % of the population are they in these areas?

You need 10% to show up as a minority, so atleast that much. There are also some Oirats. Around 10-20% would be most accurate. Maybe 30% in the best pastures, which were naturally allocated to the elite.

Was wondering about the spread of raw materials in the Arabian desert, especially the dryest parts, eg. the northern center and north of Yemen. I saw a lot of Fruits, Wheat, and Legumes which seemed a little odd to me. I did a little research into Arabian agriculture and the reliance on and location of oases and it just feels a little odd to see so much of them peppered through the desert.

I understand the need for goods there, and I think things like livestock, horses, and maybe game hunting might better represent the nomadic peoples of the desert. This is just from a gut feeling and slight reading of an abstract and a wiki page, so take it with a grain of salt. (pun intended)

I don't know how culturally divided was Afghanistan in 1337 and I am by no mean am expert on this area, but nowdays there are two main languages in the country, Dari(Persian) and Pashto(historically known as Afghans), even if they are both Iranian languages it seems weird to me that only Pashto speakers represents the Afghan culture in game as a whole, so correct me if I'm wrong but I think that it should be divided in two different cultures with two separate languages otherwise I don't understand what's there to represent Afghani Persians in game

Are those locations even clickable without full zooming?

Noticed it’s still listed as the horde of jalayirids, even though last week Ethiopia’s full name was the “Ethiopian empire.” Have you just not updated them to use a suffix instead or is it something else
they once said that Empires(tier 4) are the only countries that use their government type name as suffixes

Nice map, I'm happy to see the devs had gone really deep into the various religions and cultures of this troubled land. After seeing all the maps I had the feeling that this place on earth is where everything started.
 
i hope you can simulate rise of the timurids well and keep them flavoured.
timurid reach into anatolia and plans of conquering china should not be forgotten. (if ottomans are strong enough, there could be a chain of events regarding)

I'd like to complain that the new locations map mode is less readable.
1) It includes mountains which create visual noise which makes names unreadable;
2) It has fewer colours in the palette which makes locations difficult to track;
2a) my personal example is yellow locations around Majar: I think they all blend together, it's very hard to see location borders.

Also, it's a shame that there was no renaming in North Caucasus. As I've mentioned before, several names come from XIX century and post-date the time period of the game.

Afghan is the historical name for Pashtuns and that's what it means here. Afghanistan is also full of Persian-speaking Tajiks and Hazaras and a few smaller cultures, so don't worry. Distribution might be a bit inaccurate for 1337 though, I think Pashtuns were not so widespread yet.

There's a mix of:
- Sunni (darker green)
- Shiite (brighter green)
- Zoroastrian (darker blue)
- Miaphysite (wine red)
- Nestorian (pink)
- Tengrism (light blue)
- Judaism (purple)
- Other (Mandean, Yazidi, etc.)

For instance, this is the religious breakdown of the Jalayirids when I hover them in the religious map mode:

how does conversion works? lets say, if a country have capacity to convert 100 people per month which minorities got converted first? the second largest religion or else? cause Im not expecting playing Jalayirids and lost my precious Jewish minorities in 100 years
