How many cultures are possible?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Since they increased the number of factions (from RTW), I really really really really hope they increased the number of possible cultures. We had seven possible ones in RTW. Could someone let me know how many are possible in MTW2?

If it is still seven, is there a way to beg for a couple more at least to be added? For modders, this really would open up big doors. More difference can be created between the ones that are there, for example if the map is expanded a little more to include some other areas, or if the mod is set in RTW-period (when culture divisions like celts vs. other barbs, or India culture, or a combo greek-nomad culture for cities along the north black sea, etc.). This really really would be huge.

I think its still seven according to one of the modding reports from brisbane, as for begging for more this thread was set up for that:

Thanks, detailed request added on that link you supplied. :2thumbsup: Wonder if there is any chance for it? It's one of the only things they don't seem to have increased from RTW, but it doesn't seem like it would be much trouble for them to do (just change a number somewhere maybe).

Depends really on how the game handles them, doesnt seem like it would be a big deal. The fact that theres now two core settlement trees might be of use to eb as well, nomadic culture for example, theres a few hard coded things with these though.
