Adjustments for 1178 Turkmen
Adjusts the fashion, architecture, standards, and ethnic makeup of the Turkmen culture in the 1178 start date to more accurately reflect (my perception of) the historical tapestry of the region.

The Seljuk Turks and the Sultanate of Rum were characterised by Turco-Persian traditions and aesthetics, but by the late 12th century had not been there long enough yet to significantly change the architecture of the region. Thus, it makes more sense that their fashion and standards ("coat-of-arms") would integrate more Persian elements, while their architecture would largely remain Byzantine in design. Their military equipment (map units) remains unchanged.
Additionally, the culture is portrayed by Paradox as being exclusively of Central Asian ethnicity. While its true to my knowledge that the ruling class and nobility would have predominantly been as such, historical writings attest to a lot more intermarriage with the various other groups of Anatolia among the larger population, so I’ve made adjustments to reflect that. I didn’t change any existing historical characters or dynasties, but the new ethnic makeup should be reflected in newly-generated characters during your playthrough.

Should be compatible with mods that don’t touch culture files directly like Community Flavor Pack, but will probably need a compatch to work with stuff like Culture Expanded and Ethnicities & Portraits Expanded.
(To be honest, CE and EPE might supersede this mod eventually by doing something similar or better. But this mod is intended to either fill the times when those mods are not updated for the current version of CK3, or to be used as a vanilla-plus mod when you don’t want to change the game too much.)
