Editing culture

[unmerged(19128)]

Hello.

I was trying to edit some population data in southern Africa and add tswana as a new culture. I have found the file config/world_names.csv which seems to contain the culture data, and was thinking of using the line starting with _CULTURE_EXTRA_0_ to define a new culture. I tried changing the line to _CULTURE_EXTRA_0_;Tswana;Tswana;Tswana;;;;;;;;x and the scenario starts fine, so I guess it worked.

I have also found the appropriate csv:s in the scenarios/1836 folder.
But what do I write in these files to change a pop from sotho to tswana? Everything I try seems to result in pops with no culture at all.

I would appreciate some help.

fairly easy, where the culture is listed in the line for that specific pop replace the culture with

culture_extra_0

so instead of

2808;Sotho;Pagan;farmers;;;;18

you'd have

2808;culture_extra_0;Pagan;farmers;;;;18

change as many as you need to get the right balance, save files, start up, and the pops should appear as Tswana rather than Sotho.

Note, some of the new culture_extra tags are fubar'ed - all those that end in 2 and are >12 will not work. Fix expected in next patch

and finally, culture_extra_0 through 24 are long range, they will emigrate to America. So if you do not want your Tswana pops migrating hither and yon, start with culture_extra_25, as 25-99 are all short range

It worked.

Thank you, OHGamer!
