During EB's earlier versions roman and greek cultures have been swapped and as everyone knows it works fine.

If by any chance any of the coders who did that are still around, would you be so kind to give me a few tips?

Thanks!

What kind of modification are you planning exactly.
I modded, traits, ancillaries, faction names, movement points, EDU, EDB, DMB even added religion to EB but while adding religion traits it CTD. So I think you can add alex religion but not conversion traits.

If you aim around this files I can help but I have no info on scripting or modelling or modding map.

P.S. I am not a member of EB team.

Like I said, I'm trying to swap culture between the greek and roman factions.
The simple aim of this is to enable the romano-british trick with baktria in order to emulate the rebelling satrapies.

romani-british was a special faction in BI, it had some hardcodes as well, I hope its culture is not hardcoded, too.

Are you planning mod BI files instead of RTW or just panning to mod so as to play under BI?
If it does not work you can utilize religion system as culture, in fact I gave up to add religion alex EB but to add cultures under religion modification you can have a different but a insured way under BI.

I'm doing it to play with the BI exe.
I already swapped seleucids and romano-british, all I need to do is to make them roman and to make the romans greek internally.
Everything else worked like a charm (parthia rebels perfectly with their trigger) except that one thing.

As this was done before successfully by the EB team I was wondering if they could give me a tip.

Really? Why? I knwo it was emerging, but quite a bit of other factions were as well. So why, I am curious?

Do you mean romano-british or baktria and parthia?

romano-british has some engine related codes but I really do not know the details, the only thing I know patch 1.6 for BI enabled playing with them.

I am aware of the codes but that's not really the subject of the original post.
What my problem is comes before that (in fact I didn't even try the final steps of the implementation yet) as I need to have a stable code before adding features.

As for the rest of BI sensitive code I pretty much managed to use every other available bit in XC, meaning that the seleucids also gets this:
