Castle variations

[krycek]

The teutonic order use the castle variations from the veriations folder can we create our own variations?

[Mythic_Commodore]

Yes.

[krycek]

yes? even without just overwriting the old ones?

[Mythic_Commodore]

What do you mean? It is possible to have, for example:
North European castles - England, France, Scotland, Denmark
South European castles - Spain, Portugal, Milan, Venice, Papal States, Sicily
East European castles - Hungary, Russia, Poland
Greek Castles - Byzantine Empire
Middle Eastern Castles - Moors, Egypt, Turks, Mongols, Timurids
Mesoamerican Castles - Ha, got you, they don't have castles!
German Castles - Holy Roman Empire

yes like that, do i need to create a new culture?

[Mythic_Commodore]

No. Inside your model_strat folder, go to the residences folder, then make a faction_variants folder. Here you create unique castle models by naming a new subfolder the name of the faction. So in my example, the German castle files would be in the data/models_strat/residences/faction_variants/hre folder. They are then automatically implemented.
