Because Prussia was the one to form Germany, and their Prussian kings ruled as emperors of Germany, and thus Prussia dominated the other German states? And Austria was always an separate entity, coexisting with the other German states, and being a power and empire of its own?

I think it's a valid comparison. Fine you don't say "Native American" but you can easily say "Algonquian" and cover a huge geographic area and vastly different Indigenous peoples. There's no reason at all for the Polynesian civs to be lumped together.

Ok so Germany was a bad example. But I think it should be the name the decides when to group it together. Using the Arabian/Omani example, The game considers the two to be separate entities.
Saif isn't an alternate Arabian leader, which is what the mod is all about, neither is Frederick one for Germany within the game context.

But IIRC JFD is planning to include The Turks under the Ottomans, so the civ name isn't always the same. Plus if you had something like an Arab Split you'd probably have all the leaders under "Arabia," even though their civ names would be Abbasids, Rashiduns, Umayyads etc

Charles V? Charles V. Also it wasn't Prussia, it was Bismarck, they were lucky to have him. Guy was brilliant.

You do know Bismarck was the Chancellor of Prussia right? It wasn't like Bismarck united all of Germany by himself. Also, it wasn't like he was a German nationalist either. He only supported uniting Germany to prevent Liberals from gaining control in the Prussian government. That's also the same reason he created social security. The guy was brilliant and pragmatic, but he was a Prussian Junker, Conservative, and Chancellor. The Prussian kings became German emperors and they weren't subject to Bismarck. Wilhelm II fired Bismarck because he was a hot headed, arrogant, youngster who thought he didn't need any advice on how to rule. Prussia, led by Bismarck, united Germany and therefore should be grouped together with Germany.

Because in a civ the leader is usually only so of one distinct polity (i.e. Vicky of Great Britain, and not also of India, and not also inclusive of Scotland), I'll be grouping them based upon that, and I'll privilege successor states together. Although, tbh, I think I should've made Great Britain the group and included England within it, to match more closely the German, Russian, and French cases. This is what I'll probably update later.

Charles V in my mod is leader of the HRE, and his other million domains are notwithstanding.
Bismarck was Minister President of Prussia. So yes, it was Prussia.

)Point was Prussia would haven't united Germany without Bismarck. Also, stop asking silly questions. I just made a design for Bismarck after 1+ hour of reading, I know who he is...

What does the fact that Bismarck is the one who united Germany have anything to do with... anything? Gandhi was instrumental in the creation of India, and Washington was the guy who kick started America.. but why does that matter?

Because, it wouldn't happen without him. In other words, there's no Germany without Bismarck.

I think, though, that this discussion should be had in the thread about the mod itself.

We are in need of Event and Decisions ideas for them. I am going to do some research this week, but I do not know when there'll be the time or will to code them.

Pouakai, my brother was playing a game as Narmer and ran into a curious "feature" -- when he completed a Funerary artifact, he tried clicking on the notification and got a Wonder splash screen labelled "Mastaba Dummy" and with the Stonehenge art. I assume this is a feature of the Wonder notification that opens up a copy of the splash screen, but appears to cause some issues when using dummy Wonders for the notification.
I'm guessing the easiest solution would be to change the name of the Mastaba Dummy building and add some kind of a wonder splash image for the notification...
