Description:

This is a small mod that fixes some historically inaccurate borders in Courland, Livonia, alongside a few other details.

Changes:
– Added a new location, Sackenhausen, owned by the Bishopric of Courland.
– Reworked Durben into Hasenpoth and transferred it to the Bishopric of Courland.
– Adjusted borders of Grobin, Windau and Goldingen to be more accurate to the time period.
– Removed Liv population in the south
– Curonian peasants are now all catholic, while the tribesmen remain pagan
– Increased natural harbour suitability in several locations
– Added small swedish minority in Dundaga to represent the swedes of Ruhnu Island
– Renamed Bishopric of Ösel to Bishopric of Ösel-Wiek (not part of Courland but shut up)

Troubleshooting:
If you got any issues, simply leave a comment.
This obviously is not save-compatible. You’ll have to start a new game.
Be careful about using this mod alongside other mods. See below.
