Proposed Persia/Central Asia refactor: Top-Level Changes:

• Merv is part of Sassanid Empire as a tributary in 476, to become Hephthalite territory in 484
• Sakastan is fully Persian with a Karenid as ruler. Selected Sukhra as 1). He is a Karenid at the appropriate time and 2). it gives him a power base to theoretically influence the court rather than just being an heir
• Kidarites are separated from the Hephthalites and remain in control of Gandhara and part of Punjab to the Sutlef
• The Amu Darya becomes the boundary between the Hephthalites and Persians outside of Balkh

Internal Changes to the Hephthalites:

• Khorezm, Bukhara are tributaries of the Hephthalites
• d_ghur given the Zhunbils, c_guzgen becomes Hephthalite land.

Internal Changes to the Sasanids NB: the transliterations between sources aren't consistent

• De Facto Title Changes

    • Mihran in Rayy
    • Zik in Atropatene
    • Karens in Media Minor
    • Sukhra Karen ruling Sistan [2] (as a Karenid was governor at the time, and Sukhra was powerful post-Peroz's death)
• Many internal borders of Eranshar vassals were adjusted to avoid internal conflict caused by owning a dukes de jure land
  • Exilarch gave c_badaraya to the Emperor to avoid having it taken away quickly
  • Created d_kwrtstan holding for persian tribal holdings in d_adiabene given the region historically was at least quasi-nomadic
  • Indo-Parthian holder of c_kiz moved and given control of d_turan to make the border with Guptas more accurate
  • Izad Gushnasp given control of Herat with an Armenian Christian Vassal as per [3] (2.3.1 Izad Gushnasp Mihran)

• De Jure Title Changes: Kingdoms: Borders slightly redefined for more accurate Antiquity Parthia (bounded by the Kopet Dag and Dasht-e-Kavir desert)

Duchies: d_kermanshah readded to give the Sassanids direct control of Kermanshah like historically. d_parthava, d_rayy, d_gurgan, d_ghur, and d_herat given some noticable refactoring

Culture and Religions:

• Removed Kurdish; too early for their ethnogensis. Made persian
• Settled Adnanites where the Semitic tribes were resettled in Arabia
• Restricted Zurvanism to its historical "south-west" region, as per "Some Reflections on Zurvanism" (emphasis mine)

India title refactor done; still have to review holdings and development.

Fixed a lot of odd placements for groups like the Kadambas and the Gangas, along with more accurate (from what I can find) borders for various groups. Also removed some unnecessary fictional holders in the Kalabhras. the Gupta holdings were also cleared up to reduce incredibly negative opinions between vassals and their lieges (which can be better handled with the government changes coming up in PR#77 instead of incredibly odd internal borders).

Top-Level Domains

First Level down

[LT-Rascek]

Culture/Religion location update:

Cultures:

• Added Massalian in Massila, Aeolian in Aeolian Asia
• Moved Phrygian around a bit.
• Gave Greek more land along the north Aegean, as it was colonized a long time.
• Helleno-Aramean in and around Antioch
• Corduenian more accurately placed vis-a-vis Armenian
• Taifal provinces added near toponyms in France
• Reduced the amount of Greeks in Magna Graecia
• Added some Yathribi provinces around Yathrib
• Brahui added at its maximal historical extent
• Malavas as proto-Rajasthani (would still later migrate to Malawa)
• Przeworsk added as it was likely extant
• Some increase to Skirians in k_heruli domain
• Gallatian position improved because of better precision
• Replaced most of the later Indo-Aryan cultures with larger proto-cultures as the languages only truly diverged around the Early Medieval era.
• Lyconian renamed Cappadocian in line with its accurate location and attestation
• Removed Avars as the Pannonian Avars probably weren't extant until the 550s [1]

Religion Map

• Replaced Srmatism with Vaishnavite as Srmatism was a late-Migration Period innovation
• Removed most Yapiniya as it was mostly restricted to West Karnata during the period.
• Reduced amount of Jainism in Tamilakam as it really was a late migration change under the rule of the Kalahbrahs
• Moved the Hellenism of the Galatians to better match Galatian position
• Corudenians made Armenian Apostolic following the fact that they are classified as a Caucasian heritage and Audianism probably didn't reach that far (more of a Syrian phenomenon).

Language Map

• The reduction of cultures in India means there's only 5 languages in 476: Shauraseni, Maghadhi, Maharastri, Pahari, and Dardic.
• Ingavonic Germanic spans multiple Germanic culture groups, helping avoid culture == language issues that plagued CK3 WtWSMS.
• Taifals are East Germanic Scythian speakers, based on toponymic evidence and CK3 culture merging rules.
• Berber languages given proper endonyms in localization
• Localization replacement working as intended (see Ge'ez, Irimnonic Germanic)
