General:

Mechanics:
- Improved CCU model:
- Languages:
- Introduced notion of dialect continua to provide more granularity to languages
- A language can have multiple continua, helping provide a better model for languages at the lowest levels
- Introduce notion of creoles to allow genetically unrelated languages to have some degree of relation to each other
- Introduced notion of dialect continua to provide more granularity to languages
- Heritages:
- Allowed heritages to have multiple heritage groups and families, in line with the generally fuzzy notion of what a heritage is
- Added "Kulturbund" concept to capture the relative heritage closeness of some heritages that are still distinct
- Example: Altaic Kulturbund for Turkic and Mongolic heritage, Scythian Kulturbund for Sarmatian and Scythian heritages

- Integrated Nezaros' Minority system and adapted it to WtWSMS
- Added new minority map modes to be able to see distribution of minorities on the map
- Integrated with council tasks
- "Promote Culture" and "Convert County" tasks increase minority level by one (none -> small minority -> large minority -> majority)
- By default, the tasks will continue until the majority of the county is changed
- Integrated with Migrations
- Instead of county modifiers, migrations (major and minor) will spawn minorities based on development and migration type
- Integrated Typical's Tributary system and adapted it to WtWSMS
- Disabled tributary income at the moment, as the tributary income system is broken
- General Changes:
- Tributaries can call their suzerain to war if being attacked by an external power via decision

- New Tributary Types:
- Foederatus Tributary
- A permanent tributary, but (ai) will never refuse a call to arms, either as a foederatus or a suzerain
- Has some additional modifiers for this tribute type
- Created "Right to Rule" interaction for Roman Emperors with federates
- Enables foederatus to conquer former Roman lands as if Roman Successor
- Costs 1000 prestige for the Emperor but grants a 100 year truce (preventing raiding, among other things)

- An event now fires a few days after winning a war, allowing players to choose keeping their old government or adopting new ones
