I started in the RUS2 server and made an Aserai, given that caravans dont exist as they do in the base game and can't trade, I can't know if my culture passives affect me. But I wonder if Vlandians, Battanians, Khuzait, and Sturgians (who have visible and verifiable traits) actually have them in the overworld (map speed/bonus exp for vlandian.


Or does culture selection when creating a character not matter (as of right now)?
