I’ve been thinking whether it’d be possible to have options or official mods changing the civs’ voicelines. Pick English or Welsh for Britons, Urdu or Afghan for Hindustanis, etc. This way you can have representation without making new civs. (Britons already represented both Wales and Angevin England in campaigns.) ---

Finnic peoples were the target of northern crusades and expansion of the Rus duchies. Many wars to pick from, I suggest Lembitu as a campaign protagonist. > **[Lembitu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lembitu)** > > Lembitu (Estonian also: Lembit, died 21 September 1217) was an ancient Estonian senior (elder) from Sakala County and military leader in the struggle against conquest of the Estonian lands by the German Livonian Brothers of the Sword at the beginning of the 13th century. He is the only Estonian pre-Crusade ruler, about whom some biographical information is known (he is mentioned only in the Livonian Chronicle of Henry). Lembitu, also referred to in Latin as Lambite, Lembito or Lembitus, was first... ---

Lithuanians is there for that. What could be added is some scenario editor units which reflect these minor factions. ---

Oh, they have a very convenient excuse for that: they say Ukraine is the REAL heir of the Rus, while Russia is just Golden Horde with new management 🙃 ---

> [@Apocalypso4826](#): > > I’m honestly surprised by that. It validates the idea that Russia and Ukraine have the same origin, which is very controversial at the moment. It can be used to posit the idea that Ukraine, not Russia, is the heart of the East Slavs as Kyiv was the “ancient capital” when Moscow was still an unsettled forest. At least that’s my understanding of the idea. > [@smiki5five](#): > > Oh, they have a very convenient excuse for that: they say Ukraine is the REAL heir of the Rus, while Russia is just Golden Horde with new management I think it might tie Russia moreso to the Duchy of Moscow as an aggressive upstart that is far younger, but yeah the tie in is that Ukraine is the real heir of the Rus. Realistically I think both are heirs of the Rus, but went different directions from there; Ukraine moreso in the direction of the free spirit of the Cossacks, Russia in the direction of the drive to dominate that originated with the Muscovites. ---

We do, but as we are splitting and detailing nations, we should go along the line of indian split. Thisway you remove the umbrella civilization.

> [@al55\_sw](#): > > Unlike you, I think it’s perfectly possible to make this change Actually, I’m absolutely convinced that the devs could rename the current “Britons” to “English,” and I’m not the only one who thinks they would have done so after the Indian DLC. Instead, things have gotten worse. The Celts could actually be renamed something else, too. What you can only do via DLC, however, is add new gameplay, voice acting, or assets; otherwise, it simply wouldn’t be sustainable. ---
