7 Cultures

[Pharnakes]

Well, IDK but surely eb2 wil just use the 7 cultures we already have, and assign a religon to each culture.


Though I was thinking if you could somehow "Cross combine" the two methods, to give you 49 possibilties (7X7). Then each faction could have a unique culture. I haven't workes it through in any detail, though I beilive it something, could possibly be done.

Would be really cool if each faction could have a "unique" culture.

Cultures in EB2 will probably be the same as they are in EB1. However 'culture' as religion may be a different grouping. For example, if 'Hellenistic' is one of the groups then it would include the cultures 'Western Greek', 'Eastern Greek', and 'Roman'. Things like this would allow the culture settings and 'relgious' 'cultures' to be different from eachother.

The team hasn't really made any decisions about this, though.

Culture as religion would be interesting, but how would the population be "converted"? Would there be a priest-like unit (bad idea). Or would it be affected by building your faction's buildings, or government type, or exterminating the population and then allow it to grow again with settlers?

I'm in favor of as slow a rate of change as possible, effected, of course, by traits and building's. Colonies, for instance, would noticeably increase rate of change, and having buildings of the same culture in general should also have some effect.

Hello I would like to ask: how will the EB team deal with familly member portraits in EB2? Will you import the ones from Rome Total war or some other option is on the table?

Maybe certain limits could be coded? Say there can only be a minimum of 30% of a native culture in an area, for example.

In many cases, not really historicaly true, though. If it is even possible. And given how religon works, it would be all but impossible to conquer anywhere but your own culture.
