[Mod] Cultural Bonuses (Iron Century)

[Maal]

Cultural Bonuses

Steam workshop​

Always found it sad that cultures in CKII were doing nothing beside a few spread gimmicks like raiding or blinding... So i decided to make my own bonuses! Each cultures get 5 "points" and picks from various bonuses, i can split them in halves (to have 2 little ones for the price of a bigger one) or take a negative one to add another positive.

The values are fairly small, 10% local tax, +20% more galleys... i try to aim for around 1-2 level of techs for them. There is probably balance issues and many non-historical bonuses as i used EU4 ideas for the first round. I plan to revise them slowly to be more historical. The bonuses are tied to either the characters, holdings or capital culture (can be more than 1).

Here's the current bonuses

And some screenshots.

Spoiler

It should be save compatible and work fine with every mods that doesn't add modifiers to specific cultures or touch the static modifiers. With a mod that add new cultures, the new ones won't have bonuses unless they are renamed default cultures. If there is a popular incompatible mod and i get a lot of request, i may make a patch for it. But I'm not that knowledgeable on Game of Thrones or other big fantasy world and considering HIP go for historical accuracy I'll wait till i get the current versions is better.

Right now it's Vanilla, CK2+, Ibn Battuta's Legacy, HIP+without swmh and HIP+swmh ready. Vanilla is ready to play but for the others like CK2+, inside the zip file there is a folder and ".mod" file for each of them, simply drag those related to the mod you want in /Mod (where the zip is) and don't activate both the patched version and the original Cultural Bonus in the launcher, only one is needed.

A lot of the cultures are still based on EUIV and are not that accurate specially for this time period so I'll eventually change them some more. If anyone have any ideas for more historical bonus (alongside some malus, so few of them right now) for some cultures they are welcome to share.

[sovereign00]

This looks awesome. I was a bit disappointed by lack of culture perks in the vanilla game.

 

[Instinct]

This replaces names and titles.

For example, the Kaiser is now called Emperor.

The tribal Irish are now considered 'Kings'

You'll have to add the modifiers to the original file.

 

[Keizer Harm]

Hmm, could you post a list of what you added to each culture?

Not sure what your issue is. In my screenshots in the first post the HRE emperor is called Kaiser, and Irish dukes are called kings in the default files. I just tested both with only the mod activated and with CK2+ along its version (which keep kaiser but make Irish dukes dukes) and both work fine as i only touch the default_culture_modifier and add character_modifiers to the 00_cultures file which should be compatible with mostly everything (unless it also affect the static_modifiers). What mods do you use?

Hmm, could you post a list of what you added to each culture?

Here's a cut from the code, i don't really plan to maintain a well formatted list till I'm satisfied with most of them. Those with a # at the begin are ignored, those with a # at the end count as both a character and holding bonus.

[Forwe]

It certainly makes playing non-norse/altaic cultures a bit more interesting, thanks for the mod

 

[Maal]

You are welcome Forwe.

And... New version uploaded.
Bunch of changes

Croatians have more trade income but lower tradevalue.
Romans no longer have extra levy but get extra retinue.
Germans lost their 4 general opinion bonus in exchange for 15%+15% Heavy infantry and Pikeman offence.

Testing some Serbians and Scots revolt changes. Their provinces all get +1% revolt but rulers and councilors of their cultures give -0.5% revolt. Councilors % don't stacks with each others, rulers stacks the further down the vassal chain. For example a independant count get -0.5%. A count under an independant duke get -1% while the duke get 0.5% and so on.

Added HIP + EMF (non SWMH) version.
CK2+ Sosso, Beja and Songhai bonus added.

Links update in the OP in a minute.

 

[Instinct]

Yeah, it was my bad on my part to report an error with out checking, i was busy

Good mod tho, i'm using it in my little mod pack that me and my friends play on multiplayer.

 

[Mike Louis]

@Maal, Thanks for the mod. After modding out the non vanilla cultures, I'm currently using with my personal mod.

 

[Maal]

@Maal, Thanks for the mod. After modding out the non vanilla cultures, I'm currently using with my personal mod.

There is a vanilla version, not sure why you needed to mod stuff out, eitherways you are welcome. In the root file of the zip if you direct downloaded there is both vanilla the file named "Culturalbonuses" and the "Culturalbonuses.mod". Inside of the file called Culturalbonuses, there is the files and .mod for the optional patched version.

And aside from that, i've neglected this post, will update the links to reflect that swmh version is out too.

 

[blckdrgn]

This is a pretty cool mod! If the warcraft mod gets further along I'd love to do something similar.

 

[Caoimhin]

Heads up, Arpitan culture seems to be missing bonuses.

 

[Maal]

Caoi- answered in your SWMH post

Blckdrgn- I'm ready to make a version of my mod for mostly any overhaul that request it and add the patch to the others. Played warcrafts for years and was a lore nerd, would enjoy doing it probably.

 

[Maal]

This thread badly need some updating. My mod is now working with both vanilla and CK2+ M&M. Change logs and download links updated in the first post.

 

[Hakazin]

Direct Download link says the file has been taken down.

 

[theStormWeaver]

I LOVE THIS. I can't believe I never noticed this mod before.

Would you allow me to incorporate this into Ancient Religions Reborn once you feel the balance is really nailed down?

 

[Maal]

Direct Download link says the file has been taken down.

Woops, I recently updated it for CK2Plus and didn't replace the file here, will do it in a minute.

I LOVE THIS. I can't believe I never noticed this mod before.

Would you allow me to incorporate this into Ancient Religions Reborn once you feel the balance is really nailed down?

Thanks. I'm not really "balancing it" much. When I feel like modding I add stuff to my society and I'm not really working on it much, mostly only keeping it working and updated for the big overhauls.

But Paradox recently added a new #comments to the 00_culture file which confuse me and that will probably make me change my files set-up a bit. Right now, in my cultures files I'm referencing a modifier in Static_Modifier and add another modifier as character_modifier. But the new comment say to reference them (modifier and character_modifier) to modifiers in static_modifier. I'll need to do some testing as I hate having to rely on Static_modifier, that file is STATIC. It will not merge or anything, only one will be activated so It is a compatibility mess.

So until I figure that out (not soon, as I'm busy with extra work and a cold) I wouldn't bother working to incorporating it as they are already compatible (outside of 2 ruler designer cultures). I'm not sure at how "compatible" Ancient Religion is aiming for but adding a static_modifier file would hurt it.

I can make an extra patched version for the 2 new cultures if you want, should take 10 minutes (or maybe more, up to how I can stop myself from adding stupid Asterix level bonuses to Gauls).

 

[theStormWeaver]

Thanks! That would be really cool.

I wasn't aware of the issues with static_modifiers. I generally try to minimize the impact of ARR on vanilla files to improve compatibility and make updating for new versions of CK2 easier.

Let me know how it goes with your experiments. I hope you figure out something better.

 

[merilessj]

Great mod. Honestly I love it. If i wanted to change a value of one bonus, where do i have to edit to see an effect in game?
When I edited the russian levy bonus from .15 to .2 (make it a tad more unique compared to other cults with levy bonus) I went into just the common folder and changed the areas under east slavic russian in the culture and the static modifier files, but every time that occurs nothing happens. I then deleted the folders for compatability with the other mods, and the bonuses disappeared completely.
Only other mod I'm running is your personal castle.
Do I have to edit every single instance of the bonus levy size under russian bonuses in every single mod compatability folder to get this to work?

Do I have to edit every single instance of the bonus levy size under russian bonuses in every single mod compatability folder to get this to work?

Sorry for the wait, I'm not really into Ckii right now so I don't check often. You shouldn't use more than one folder, the compatibility ones don't do anything as they are by default so deleting them isn't supposed to break the mod...
Do your russian codes look like this?:
vanilla_cultures_bonuses.txt

    russian = {
        modifier = Russian_culture_modifier
        character_modifier = {
    levy_size = 0.2 #extra
    levy_reinforce_rate = 0.075 #extra
    tax_income = 1
    tech_growth_modifier = 0.05
        }
    }

static_modifiers.txt

Russian_culture_modifier = {
   levy_size = 0.2 #extra
   levy_reinforce_rate = 0.075 #extra
   tax_income = 1
   tech_growth_modifier = 0.05
}

If all these are right, then I don't know... Maybe it conflict with the castle mod (I'll check later) or maybe the mod didn't activate in game fast enough and you tough it was broken. (It happen sometime, it can take a few months)
