Native Names in Siberia
If you’re tired of seeing Russian names for Asian provinces, this is a temporary fix. Most of the name changes are in "Dynamic Names" lists so as not to change the localization files. Of course this means that not every culture will have them when expanding into Siberia. I decided to add these only for those culture that are likely to.
Also, just because I added them as dynamic names, doesn’t mean every culture gets their own name. They’re usually the native names of the respective culture that lives there. If you play as Russians, they will change their names back to Russian.
Aaside from the province names, I had to modify some of the province history files to change the names of the capitals.
This is a recreation of an older mod, which I originally posted on the forums, thinking it could peak the community’s interest and maybe others would’ve improved upon it, but nobody did. https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/tired-of-russian-names-in-siberia-heres-a-temporary-quick-fix.1153489/#post-26202431
So I’m not expecting much interest in this. And please don’t come correcting me in the comment sections on some of my creative decisions here. I have established that it’s a temporary fix until Paradox updates the region. Because I don’t have the needed skills or time to make a proper overhaul of the region, it needs A LOT of work. This is a low effort mod, even though I’ve spent a considerable amount of time making it back in 2019, mainly due to research. I mainly made this mod for myself because all the "Okhotsks" and "Stanovoys" in 15th century are ruining my immersion when I’m playing in Asia. And I’m only uploading here to not lose it like the last time.
