Cultural Currency
Historical currency names by culture for Crusader Kings III
What this mod does
- Replaces generic Gold with historical currency names based on a character’s culture.
- Uses date/era-sensitive rules where a culture’s common term changes over time.
- Replaces relevant localization strings, not just a single label, so local currencies appear more naturally across the UI.
- Applies to the gold concept, gold cost strings, character gold tooltips, and culture tooltips.
- Includes Historical Rigor settings: Flavor, Conservative, or Vanilla Gold.
- Includes UI Detail settings: Immersive or Minimal.
- Works fully on its own, with optional native-safe Culture Expanded compatibility support.
