So, Persian portraits with Chinese clothing? I can do that.
On another note, shouldn't the hun/mani realm at Tian Shan have the titular Hepthalite kingdom title?

Sure, I can try cooking up something like that. It's not as easy as just coding them as Persian+Chinese clothing though, so it might take some time.
On the Titular Hephtalite title:
I pondered this one quite a lot, and even consulted enlil as an external consultant of sort on this. At the end my understanding is that the titular title of Hunnia is the ramp state for Hephtalites, as this was the way they were called by the Indians. Plus, once the Hepthalites, whoever they really were, invaded urbanized Central Asia and controlled it for quite some time, they went through a process of "kushanisation", that is, creation of a syncretic culture which is no longer the old steppe nomadic identity. In Central Asia 2.0 I would like to give them a separate culture to model this. By contrast, the Huns in the Tian Shan are the remnants of the those who "staid behind" and took refuge in inaccessible mountains, clinging to an old lifestyle and surviving the Turkic migrations there. Still, my intent for Central Asia 2.0 is to use this area to better represent some minor heavily Chinese-influenced nomadic Turkic tribes, probably the Kara-Khitai - a very interesting Turkic power.
Depends on feasibility and actual results of all these, I'd say. DR is the expert here, let's see the outcome...

DR/Cesar, did you see my last post on the last page, especially the part about a flag for d_bukhara being needed?
Ah, OK, so it does. Didn't look at the second iteration of Validator results. Must have been one I reused the name of or something (or Vanilla had one)
The new version of Validator allowed me to correct several duplicated baronies in province history, and reset max_holdings where it was set to more than the scripted number of holdings. Hopefully the former will remove some crashbugs, the latter doesn't cause crashes to the best of my knowledge.
The baronies in Samarra and As-Saffah need a look; the capital of As-Saffah is the barony of Samarra.
The city of Palmyra does not lie de jure within the kingdom of the same name, which seems a bit funny. Maybe the duchy of... Syria, I think, could be moved from Mesopotamia to Palmyra? Mesopotamia is already a bit duchy rich while Palmyra is definitely not.
c_ryn_desert, only province in d_aktobe, does not exist. My guess is that it has been replaced by Aqtobe in western d_aral.
c_chirik_rabat, only province in d_khiva, sole duchy of k_bactria, also does not exist.
These issues will need to be addressed in Central Asia 2.0. I'm commenting out the titles in question in landed_titles for now. It might be that I should have removed them entirely when editing landed_titles for Central Asia 1.0, but I wasn't aware of the missing province problems.

Uncommented d_aktobe and c_ryn_desert, what about the other things I edited in?
c_palmyra got reused as Agadez, and c_tadmor got reused as Palmyra. The holdings weren't updated, that's why the city of Palmyra is misplaced.

DR: I worked a bit on streamlining the current Central Asia set-up. If possible, I'd like to see what you plan to change in this area - not that the current set-up can't be improved, just to coordinate better.
Nothing at all; all the added provinces are in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, Russia and some in the aforementioned Aqtobe duchy.

Hmmm... those are from Umbra's India map, not from vanilla. But I'll add them to the list.
There's probably a lot more missing counties hiding, those I noticed because I searched for the duchy and brought up the de jure list of counties.
c_hastinapura in d_kuru missing
c_kalanjara in d_khajuraho missing
c_laksmanavati in d_gauda missing
c_bumthang in d_kamapa missing
All three counties of d_tripura - c_chatigama, c_srihatta and c_karmanta - are missing. This impacts the religious setup, as b_jagannathpur, one of the holy sites of murugan and murugan_reformed, is in c_srihatta.
c_anahilapataka in d_sarasvatamandala is missing
c_valabhi in d_saurashtra is missing
c_massat in d_marrakech missing
c_votyaki in d_perm is missing
c_kalanjara in d_khajuraho missing
c_laksmanavati in d_gauda missing
c_bumthang in d_kamapa missing
