Inquiry - ancillaries

**Alesianduke** · October 21, 2011, 04:06 AM

Hi! I've always wanted to ask why some ancillaries, like "architect", "artist", "mathematician", are excluded for northern europeans?
I mean in a late campaign with France or England there was no great construction in that period? No artists from France in the 1400s or 1500s?

Maybe a choice to reflect the cultural enlightment of the medieval middle-east, romans and venetians ?

Yeah, I know that kind of until the Renaissance western technology and arts were ignored and that the Muslim world was the one that preserved and improved the Roman ingenuity (or so)... but would it have any effect on my saves if I modify the "export_descr_ancillaries" and remove the "excludecultures" for those 3 ancillaries?

Logically, I don't see any effect it could have, since it doesn't whithdraw anything except a restriction; save elsewhere your actual export_descr_ancilliaries before to be sure, but there shouldn't be any problem.

I did myself lots of modifications in this file and never experienced any problem.
