this game (both lorewise and geographically) is a total :| of warhammer world/lore. Praag is not adjacent to reikland, is enough to see total war map to realize it or just simply opening a warhammer book. I believe the original mythic devs had no idea how warhammer was in the day and how to make it so they basically copy/pasted comets everywhere to let ppl see that Praag was a order city.

It would be super cool, but unfortunately I don't think it will happen.
Chaos dwarfs... Guys with THE hats.

Definitely change NPC models at least for the guys who have slavic names

These generic "griffon" soldiers everywhere with the same boring model and barely any armor on are such an eyesore

Would be amazing if there was any Kislev-themed NPC items/pieces that could be adapted to players for RP/fashion flavour

The classic Kislev faction was inspired in all slavic nations, but mainly from Polish-Lituanian Empire before the war between the Commonwealth and the Zaporiya Cossacks. This is why Kislev main units are Winged Lancers (inspired in Polish-Lituanian Winged hussars) and Ungols and Kossars (Insipired in Zaporiya Cossacks).

Only from announcements of Total War 3 the Kislevites began with Russians aesthetics

Don't want to argue really, just to add: Kislev tabletop army also has such units as Streltsi, Kreml guard, Boyar, Cossacks (historically it's a multi-ethnos thing).
Winged hussars are definitely its signature unit inspired by the polish one.
Back wise, basing on such things like, for example WFRP module "Something rotten in Kislev" from the famous "Enemy within" campaign you can't just say that Kislev is mainly inspired by anything. Slavic mix all-in-one burger? Imo, definitely.

last pics are cossacs . strelci its just word for shoot in slavic. kreml mean actually fort (turk lang). winged husars are croatians in service of poland king , and catolic liked idea those wings on back so they make it happen also in their army. like angels leading to victory. kislevite is all slavic nation togather. not specific. ( i was previous mistaken they are pure rzecpospolita).
p.s sad there is no real pikeman - tercio in lore warhammer. or swisguard stuff. its would make game even better. in lore or new wh. tw series. also there is zero atention to teutogans and ulfric.

Still don't think that Praag (as a city) needs to look more Kislev-ic (Due to it not being built by those guys to begin with) But having more NPCs that currently occupy it be more appropriate seems about correct :)
