Changing architectural style

[Joshwa]

Yeah, basically i've been poking around trying to find out how to give the Byzantines Middle-Eastern cities and castles. I managed to change the campaign map appearance by selectively copying the middle eastern section of descr_cultures.txt over to the greek entry, but so far no luck in changing the battle map appearance, which seems to be controlled from somewhere else. Any ideas?

Oh come on, one of you modding chaps must know!

Check the settlements folder.

Yeah i thought of swapping the 'Southern European' files for the Middle Eastern ones, but that would give all of Southern Europe the same style. Something must direct the game to that folder for each culture though, so i think i need to find what file tells it to look at the Southern European folder for Byzantium and change that. It's definately not in descr.cultures.txt though, unless im missing something blindingly obvious, and im not sure where else it could be!

Nope, the southern_european folder is simply the fallback. If you create a new folder it should read them from there if I'm not mistaken.

What do i call the folder? I tried calling it 'Greek' and 'Byzantium' and neither seemed to work. For the Greek experiment i renamed all the stuff inside to greek as well, didn't bother for the byzantium one because it took me ages! Figured it'd crash out if it had recognised the byzantium folder but not it's contents. Cheers
