River Lords
So, I’ve been playing recently in Eastern Europe, and found lack of special stuff for Eastern Slavs rather disappointing, especialy representation of how important rivers were in the regions, and what annyed me the most in it is that Slavs can’t traverse through rivers.
So I’ve decided to change that by adding "River Lords" cultural tradition, it gives you an ability for armies to travel by rivers, an embankment bonus and a modifier that adds tax and control bonuses for counties adjecent to rivers,; for compatibility sake this modifier isn’t inherent to the province, but it is updated on yearly basis instead based on whether the current province has appropriate culture.
I’ve also changed Russian Culture to "Ruthenian", and Russian empire title, to "’Rus"; I think it represents the time period better, considering that the Slavs of ‘Rus hasn’t diverged that much yet (well one could argue that Eastern Slavic tribes were even more divergent, but it is an another, perhaps also true perspective, but it is outside the scope of the mod).
Should be compatible with almost everything (within reason, like obviously LotR mod won’t work with it, lol), but you have to start a new game for tradtions to be assigned for Eastern Slavs.
Let me know if you think some other culture should get this tradition, I was thinking about Egyptians, but idk.
