Factions and Cultures

**Legio** · December 30, 2008, 03:51 PM

Is there a way to change which internal faction has which culture? For example, make Parthia have Greek culture, etc.
Thanks,
Legio

In descr_sm_factions:

Code:

faction						parthia
culture						eastern
symbol						models_strat/symbol_parthia.CAS
rebel_symbol				models_strat/symbol_eastern_rebel.CAS
primary_colour				red 168, green 62, blue 154
secondary_colour			red 0, green 0, blue 0
loading_logo				loading_screen/symbols/symbol128_parthia.tga
standard_index				8
logo_index					243
small_logo_index			255
triumph_value				5
intro_movie					fmv/intros/eastern_intro_640x480_bars.wmv
victory_movie				fmv/victory/eastern_outro_320x240.wmv
defeat_movie				fmv/lose/parthia_eliminated.wmv
death_movie					fmv/death/death_parthia_sand_320x240.wmv
custom_battle_availability	yes
can_sap						yes
prefers_naval_invasions		no

Change the red part. But be aware. Culture, along or instead of the factions` names is sometimes used in EDU (as ownership), EDB and a few other files. So if in EDU for example there was a unit that had eastern for ownership and not greek too, the parthians will suddenly cease to have that unit unless you add parthia for ownership. And they might suddenly get a new unit that previously had greek for ownership in EDU. You need to be careful with these things when you do the change.

Oh lord, that is a lot!
Is there a limit to how many factions are in the culture?

**Aradan** · December 30, 2008, 05:28 PM

Not in 1.5/1.6, you can have all factions in 1 culture, if you like.

**Aradan** · January 06, 2009, 01:48 PM

Brutii together with Julii and Scipii have the Senate as a superfaction, and I believe factions involved in a superfaction system need to belong to the same culture.

**Tiberius Caesar Augustus** · January 06, 2009, 01:51 PM

i'm deletd the super_faction in brutii

faction romans_brutii, comfortable napoleon
denari 4000

Barbarian factions have some cultural limitations (can't build large-cities in RTW etc) maybe that's an issue?

**Tiberius Caesar Augustus** · January 06, 2009, 02:28 PM

Dacia can have large town
but i'm check

Code:

faction    dacia, religious napoleon
denari    4000
settlement
{
    level large_town
    region Dacia

    year_founded 0
    population 5652
    plan_set default_set
    faction_creator gauls
    building
    {
        type core_building governors_villa
    }
    building
    {
        type defenses wooden_pallisade
    }
    building
    {
        type barracks muster_field
    }
    building
    {
        type market trader
    }
    building
    {
        type missiles practice_field
    }
}
