Cultural Differences
I appreciate the work Paradox did adding hundreds of cultures, but the flavor and differences between them other than some research options/units to major powers are minimal at best right now. While we wait for our Swedish overlords to continue expanding the game, my aspiration will be to make cultures have some bonuses that players can use to tailor their playstyle. Something for them to stand out a bit, something that won’t make them just another name on the map that you spread for memes or aesthetics
Starting with hardy Caucasus mountains, I plan on slowly moving to most of the cultures around the globe while giving them historical(ish) modifiers. Me being just a single person means it will take quite some time so please bear with me as I do that
