Guide To Adding New Cultures - Discussion

[Monkwarrior]

That's what I ended up having to do, I undid all the work and redid it and had no problem the second time. I figure I messed up something in one of the files in data/text. An interesting thing I did note, I tried to add an entry {SMT_CULTURE_NOMAD} to strat.txt, right after the barbarian entry at the top, and all the in game entries from below that were off by one. It appears that the order of the entries in strat.txt matters.

Yes, not only in that file. I found a similar result, but I cannot remember in which file. It was something related to a victory text for a non-playable faction, and everything below this new line was moved.

Yup, some files are like that - basically I think it is the ones where the text has a specific placement rather than solely in a scroll body of text.

Hey guys,
i followed Dol Guldur's and Hoggy's instructions step by step and its working all in all.
But when i want to battle in a city of this brand new egyptian BI culture I get no egyptian buildings like palace, temple barracks etc.
Instead of this I get roman replacements, 'normal' city buildings not even their palace or temple.
I made a modfolder for this, but nevertheless it schould have worked.
Did i do something wrong?

You've obviously skipped or done incorrectly the step where it mentions you have to edit descr_settlement_plan.txt in order to get battle buildings into the game. Its a lot of tedious work to do that one step, I found it took about as much time as the rest of the guide put together.
