Modding Cultures
Culture modding refers to altering the cultures and culture groups themselves. For changing a character's culture, see character modding; for changing a country's primary culture see country creation; for changing the cultural makeup of territories, see province setup.
Cultures
Culture files are found in common\cultures and each culture group is allocated its own file, though this is not strictly necessary. Within each culture group block, culture group color, naming conventions (e.g. the conventional Italic/Roman structure), male first names, female first names, family names, generated nicknames, individual culture names, barbarian names, graphical cultures, and character ethnicity are all defined. For instance, see the file for the Bactrian group:
bactrian = {

All properties by default apply to all cultures within the culture group. If distinct names or other properties are desired for individual cultures, those entries can be placed inside the block for that individual culture, as with Tocharian names above.
