How did you create those new cultures?

[Mishgan]

Another "Question from Mishgan with Love!"

As someone who has played Sweden and abused the AI's strategic military genius to create Scandinavia, full with Estonia and Latvia (even if this one still needs some more "reclamation" from Russia). With all the spiffy events, my national cultures don't even hold within the left panel anymore and get on the map.

As such, I thought about regrouping the Danes, Norwegians and Swedes into a single Scandinavian culture, to shorten up the list. Before proud nordmen yell at me: if the game can have a "Swiss" culture, it can have a "Scandinavian" [insert two hours long rant on how Genevans make cooler Swiss than Appenzellers]

So-o-o-o... how do I script that new culture?

see this thread for how to use the new user-made cultures in Revolutions.

It turned out much easier than I expected, really. And quite fast.

As such, thanks a lot, OH!

Now I can get to typing out "Speak Danish!" chain for Sch-Hol and "Remember Your Roots!" for Pommerania. Simply because I want to >.>

Could you post those events to this thread?

Could you post those events to this thread?

Mmmm. A tad later. I'll write them out into a proper chain with triggers and whatnot first, add some more stuff. For now, it's really just applicable to my game only. For example, the national pop conversion event fits me perfectly, because I control 100% of Scandinavia, and with a bonus! However, I think I shall try to redo it in such a way as to convert every nordman pop in every country to Scandinavian. This will avoid having Danes in German Schleswig and Swedes in Russian Finland if SCA does not control them by then. Time to go check the structure of ProvinceOwner type of events.

But at any rate, here is the national pop conversion event as it is right now. That, at least, is not so much of a huge effect on the game as a huge estetic improvement on not having national cultures splatter all over the screen.

You shall need to go to the victoria/config/worldnames.scv, as described in the OH's other thread, and change the culture_extra_3 tag from User Defined to Scandinavian. Because this is the one I used. It makes sense that if the the nordmen are long range, they stay long range.

But yet again, the event was written for a VIP:R game. So, get that, in any case.

EDIT: See Below for full Nordmen-Scandinavian chain.

Here is the Nordmen into Scandinavian chain for my VIP:HARRR! game. This will turn Danish and Swedish pops that can potentially end up outside Scandinavia upon its creation into Scandinavian. The areas are Finland, Savolax, Aland Isles, Estonia, Holstein/Schleswig, which all have Swedish and Danish pops.

I have done a test run from an old savegame and after quite a few corrections and mistakes fixing, it works. Most of the events are province/state based and simply turn nordmen into scandinavians, except for Schleswig and Holstein who got their own events, because both states also have Danish as national culture, which needed to be switched to Scandinavian.

And to think that in the beginning I simply wanted the Finns to remain within the infobox area
