Cultural Tribe Names (Updated)
All tribal realms will have cultural or dynastic names, just like the nomadic realms. When playing as a tribal nation you will remember what really matters – your people.
Finally, just as you typically see on educational maps, all the tribal nations beyond the frontiers of major civilization will be named after the Goths, Saxons, Frisians, Vandals, Bedouins, Slavs, etc instead of whatever modern city they happen to inhabit. Instead of rebranding whenever they conquer a higher title, they will carry their name with them.
Playing as or against the Barbarian Migrators is much more engaging when you see "the Merovingian Franks" instead of the "Duchy of Luxembourg." No more Vandals conquering Pannonia and then just calling themselves "Pannonia," almost making you forget the province even fell. Now they will be the King of the Vandals!
The developers went to great lengths to set up the up the minor tribal realms with dynasties named after the tribes of the region, so now you can even see the famous Chatti, Bavari, Batavi, Thervingi, Roxolani, and friends represented as political entities on the map, even though they aren’t considered distinct cultures.
