Cultures

[Volrath50]

I prefer to have many different languages, as it makes my job harder.

When I say that I have split Scandinavian up, I mean that I have renamed scandinavian norwiegiean (I was Norway at a model UN, so they get scandinavian), renamed swiss to swedish, renamed dakota to danish and renamed iroquois to icelandic. I've also renamed iberian to spanish and renamed patagonian (don't know where that's from) to portuguese. I'll split up slavonic as soon as I look into the language situation down there.

If a language is considered a different language, it will get a different culture, this removes any arguments whatsover.

Good. Also remember not to have Ugric (or whatever the Lapps talk) in Northern Norway/Sweden. Their Language is nearly spoken, Norweagian is most used.

Patagonia is the name for the southern half of Argentina.

Just a thought: If we want to make the nations peaceful to one another, then we should try and make as many cultures as possible; however for a more exciting scenario with more bloodshed we should make less cultures and give governments more of them. An example of similar languages is the similarities between slavic balkan languages and russian, but if we gave russia the cultures of other slavic nations, it might unrealistically go to war with its brethren. Then again, if a balkan nation was conquered by an outsider and Russia freed it there would be, realistically, less struggle between the slavs.

In two provinces?

 

[Kyran]

oh, didn't think you were talking province wise. Hmmm, I'd have to say that the east one is german and the west one is french, or something on those lines.

 

[Gathenhielm]

Why just dont keep it swiss? If they have all theese cultures they can conquer Germany, France and Itali.

 

[Kyran]

yeah, why steal Swiss from the Swiss when there are enough worthless cultures already to change?

 

[Volrath50]

Because Swiss isn't a language.

I've made one province of Switzerland speak French and the other speak German. Please don't worry about Switzerland uniting France, Germany and Italy, this is a MODERN scenario, and they will have to take on the full might of NATO, the EU or whatever alliance we use.

Don't trust the coding of the mighty AI young Miller, it will corrupt and destroy all in it's path. Fear it and you might be saved. We need those safe gaurds that were put down for us by the ones who came before us!

I'm done acting like an old man of the mountain now.

Anyway, yeah, Don't trust the AI miller it'll act like your friend till it sees a moment of weakness and down comes the icepick into your back!

What about Wales? Welsh or English?

 

[Kyran]

Now this is a tough one!

Little help someone?

 

[Jayavarman]

The Swiss have long dissassociated themselves from their neighbors. They see themselves as Swiss.

 

[Kyran]

You heard the man Miller! Give the Swiss back their swissness!

We are doing languages, not cultures, as to destroy any debates such as this swiss one. The swiss do NOT speak Swiss. They speak french, german and italian. Swiss is not a language, it is a culture. We are doing languages, not cultures. For an example, the Philipines have english as their language, despite not being anglo-saxon.

So america is going to have english culture then. And latin america spanish, except from Brasil that is going to have portugese. And all african countries going to have english, french or dutch? And india is it going to have one english?

The problem is that most people with education this day speak two languages. Most of the people I meat in Sweden can speak english (I cant come up with someone who cant, maybe my grand grandmother who died two years ago) are they going to have english culture? You can say that they are going to have swedish because that is what they been brought up with, but are the africans (generalisation I know) brought with english?
Just because you have english as your nation language most not mean all of your people speak that (off course you can have different province culture)

But I have a hard time imagine that people from India have the same life as people in africa even if their living standard was exactly the same. And just dont mention the US.

And you got the gameplay features. It is easy for USA to go rampage on all old english colonies.

If you really want to do this with just one effect desides it all it is much better to have western culture.

Give us back our Swiss culture you Nazi!
