New culture

[lucaluca]

I added a new culture group which has only one culture (group seleucid, culture hellenistic) in the common/cultures file, and I gave the tag SEL hellenistic culture in the hystory/countries/SEL file.

However, the game won't load (stops at "loading hystory")... any reasons?

Have you added ALL the text in the .csv files? I had a similar problem, and it turned out to be that I hadn't added army, navy and regiment names for them.

the files .csv in the localisation folder? I added the text for the cultures, governments and units files. It doesn't seem any other file has a reference to cultures but I maybe wrong. Do you know exactly which files need to modified?

Thanks.

it will be much more easier to locate the trouble if you could you share that mod.

well it's not really a mod. I'm just trying to change the names of the seleucid characters in order to include nicknames (which only rulers had by the way but there is no way to add nicknames only to the rulers).

Also I'm replacing the original files (after backing up), i'm not using the moddir because I'm not sure how it works still.

just share the edited files i can try to assemble them into mod and fix it.

You missed one. Think it is called extratext.csv. You need to add army, navy and regiment names here.

yeah thanks i corrected that and it works. However giving the Seleucids a culture different from greek totally destroys them... So I ended up giving the Seleucid characters in the history folder the new culture Hellenistic (culture group Seleucid) so that only that family will get the new naming (Antiochus Soter etc.).

It's also odd that in vanilla the hellenic culture group does not include Antiochus, Seleucus etc. as male_names so apart from the first one there is no way to have a Seleucus ruling the Seleucid Empire. I find that odd and not helping historical immersion.

I'll probably try to do the same for female Seleucid characters but I'll end up having as first daughters always Selene, second always Thea etc. if I use the female_order command.

I was wondering what effects does character culture has; they seem to be able to marry people of other cultures and the province conversion is always to the nation's primary culture, not to the character's. If there is no effect then I'll create a new culture for the Ptolemies so they will have proper names as well.

I was also wondering if I can use a culture instead of a culture group for this. I mean just adding a new culture to the hellenic group but adding this new culture to the .csv files.

I am hoping this works, since I want to add a few more cultures within existing culture groups. Am just about to give it a go.
