Go crazy and form England and the Empire of Britannia early, limited only by your ability to get claims. Of course, for the sake of argument I'm discounting the later bookmarks where the culture type already exists.Wessex in 769: you have primogeniture right from the start, so no need to get out of gavelkind. The Norman culture type only appears due to MTTH when their is a mixing of the Norse and Breton cultures. Paradox also already has the means to implement the cultural shift of characters and provinces as well. The names of the duchies even undergo a name change. Likewise while reforming the Roman Empire (and in due course, reclaiming the integral lands of Lombardy/Italy), the Latin name of the provinces there are replaced by completely different Greek ones.

The counties in the Muslim world also change when, say, ruled by a Greek character. The Empire of Britannia when formed is titled diferently when ruled by a Celtic culture, even different when ruled by one of a Welsh, Pictish, Scottish or Irish denomination. Nantes is the Frankish spelling, yet when ruled by a Breton character it changes to Naoned. Just look at the cultural shifts that take place in Brittany as a simple example. The names of Provinces, Kingdoms, heck, even entire Empires change depending on what culture type rules over them. I don't want to sound like a beliggerent oaf, but Paradox has already implemented such changes for many cultures. You'd only need to go through it and rework if they change the map itself - which I doubt will be occuring anymore.

I would add that it's a good idea to save a copy of the landed titles file if you have any interest in achievements, as you cannot get then whilst you use this modification.Д®DIT: Also, I seem to recall there is a mod which does cultural names for -every- title basically in the game, but I can't remember what it's called.Д®DIT 2: Also, keep a copy of the MODIFIED version because every patch will wipe your changes. I don't know of a mod that does it, but if you're just after an anglo-saxon rename for the counties, it's simple enough to mod yourself, find the CK2 file, go to common -> landed titles, search for each title you want to rename, add in the line saxon = 'the new name'ДЇor example - for york you would want the c_york part to look something like this. So basically, does anybody know of a nice handy mod that simply (and correctly) renames the counties in England to their Anglo-Saxon spellings?

Then again, I can't complain so much as there is a need to keep Counts viable to play as so I'll give Paradox the benefit of the doubt on that one. Rightfully they were already a part of the kingdom of Kent by that time. I'm happy to see Essex (East Seaxe) represented as a rightful Kingdom, but as to why Sussex and Surrey are independent at the 769 start date, I'm not sure. There was the divisison (and annexation) of the Kingdom of Kent under the rule of Wessex (Westseaxna) (and honestly, I'm somewhat upset that London doesn't belong to Mercia like it should, feth knows why Canterbury (Contwaraburg in Anglo-Saxon) does). Seeing as there was no 'counties' in Anglo-Saxon England. It's a pain.ДЄnd yes, it is a whiney gripe to point such a thing out, but the division of the 'counties' rather irks me as well. Why one rule for certain cultures, but the local culture is almost put on a backfoot and ham-fisted with modern spelling and pronounciations ?ДЄnd before anyone points out that you can just rename the counties, baronies (whichever) when they're a part of your kingdom - I don't want to do that each time I play and Anglo-Saxon ruler.

I just bothers me when I see particular modern-day English spellings, such as that of York (Eoferwic in Anglo-Saxon) when they can be bothered to change York to 'Jorvik' when being ruled by a Norse culture type. Obviously, CK2 is a veritable melting pot of different cultures and religions by the end of a playthrough, but it particularly bothers me that while Paradox has lavished so much attention on, say, the naming of counties in Ireland, Wales, Brittany and Pictland (specifically the historical naming of such regions), that they have not attributed the correct names of the 'counties' in England to that of their Anglo-Saxon counterparts. Now, I'm sure I'm not the only person that is bothered by this.
