the Field of Glory Kingdoms DLC lets you play as them. Far as I can tell you're basically just steppeniggers steppeniggering with a bonus to trade and a few other things

the abstraction in aoe games is absolutely revolting if you're interested in roleplaying as a historical civ
>and now chelbir my son, you must construct volga bulgaria's great capital of bolghar by building 10 houses or as they're called yurts in our faction trait (they cost 5 wood less than houses), one level 3 town hall and training 30 horse archers

RPing as the Bolghars in CK2 HIP was one of my most memorable campaigns in a gsg game ever

I'll have to try a CK3 run with them, didn't even realize they are the one isolated Clan government that far north. Haven't played since the nomad update though so we'll see how hellish being surrounded by nomads as neighbors is

Yeah they're around in CK3 but in 2 they're a steppe hoarde for the entirety of the game its such a sad oversight
>>2097812
Really? Which faction again? I gotta go check.
>>2098007
I think I'll try HIP again. Its just a shame that Sons of Vinland doesnt work with it.
Is their roster cool?

Krum was a Danube Bulgaria ruler, not Volga Bulgaria.

I was playing a medieval mod for Medieval 2 TW and I took over all of european Russia and then went head to head with the Bulgarians as Volga Bulgaria. Very fun campaign. It helps that their units are really unique and the devs at least did a bit of research instead of just making them a bare bones horse archer or muslim faction and made them their own thing.
