Culture History Standard

Description
This mod is no longer being maintained - feel free to use any/all assets as you see fit.


Ever found it odd how some cultures like Italian or Vlach can trace their parentage to Roman but others such as French or Castilian can't?
This mod aims to improve the consistency of cultures by adding suitable parents that fit historically. It also replaces obvious stand-in cultures with their actual forms in some places.

Renaming and reworking some cultures.

@ayr By chance could you rework the Copt and Egyptian names for their cultures.
Reason why is the name Egyptian irl was used for the Copts with the Arab sub culture either referring to themselves as Misri or as simply Arab.

Arab Egyptians did not start reusing the name Egypt or Egyptian until it got conquered by Britain.

(More details on why the change should be made.)

Copt used to mean the same thing as Egyptian but became exclusive to the Christian faith which is why I don't think it should be used for the name Arabized culture. Similarly Misri used to exclusively refer to people from Cairo but expanded to mean all Arab Egyptians by the time Copt became exclusive to Christians. Today Misri refers to anyone of Egyptian decent and is the Arabic name for Egypt.

Hi there! I am making an alternate history British Isle mod and I would love to use your mod for its cultures. Do I have your permission to do so?

Wow for all this time I didn't even know that Khazars had equal martial. I wonder what made Paradox decide that? Some Nomadic women certainly fought alongside their men when nomads got desperate enough. Though that happened in all cultures, but it was quite common for nomads live a life of desperately clinging to ensure their existence.

Would you consider dividing the Polish culture into Polish, Slezanian (Silesian), Opolanian, Vistulanian & Masovian? Though I can see there'd be issues with the fact their cultures wouldn't unite once Poland forms. Another idea I had was to call them all Wendish / Lechitic & get renamed to the capital duchy & have the kingdom change names depending on culture. An event similar to when Norse diverges.

For those considering the mod I will say it is pretty good though I disagree with some of the naming. If you don't care or like the names 100% recommend using. If your like me and don't like the names used for the cultures then I would say 80% you should use as the regroupings and additions are way better then vanilla, even if naming is to taste.

Also update please.

"Dalmatian is a hybrid of Roman and Illyrian from 212 AD"

Would it make more sense if Dalmatian is a divergent culture from Illyro-Roman, which is itself a hybrid between Roman and Illyrian.

Maybe take a look at the cultures from The Fallen Eagle for guidance.

This mod now has the "Akan" culture appear in northern Crimea. I isolated it down to this mod.

@Ettie102 Is this mod not updated? I feel like Culture Expanded and this mod pretty much does very similar things? I used to love Culture Expanded, but I haven't played for a long time and I fell behind on the DLC. The EPE requirement is quite annoying, and the standalone version hasn't been updated in a year... So a compatibility patch between this and RICE would be great. I cannot play without RICE... 😅
Ettie102 12 Aug, 2024 @ 3:21am 
Would love to see a Compatch between this and a couple other mods (CE, EPE, RICE, etc.) whenever this gets updated, but I can't mod unfortunately :(
