Disclaimer –

This Mod Page was previously the site of Better Medieval Cultures (BMC) which is now fully integrated into Culture Expanded (CE).

This Mod is the Standalone Version of Culture Expanded. The Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded (EPE) Version of Culture Expanded (CE) can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2829397295

Culture Expanded
is a map spanning project that aims to expand the culture variety, decisions, events, traditions and many other elements of culture in order to make for a more meaningful gameplay experience. We at the Expanded Mod Team always wanted to have a mod that dived deeper into the cultural aspects and regions of the game; We had increased them visually with Ethnicities and Portraits Expanded, but that wasn’t enough to bring proper flavor to some, if not most. More so, to bring the proper historical presence of culture to some regions, in most cases, the lack of important cultural distinctions, we would need to fully dig deep into a cultural project. Thus the team embarked on a collaborative project that sought to increase the playability, historicity, and game balance of cultural regions across the map.

A large expansion of the available cultures across both 867 and 1066 made by our team and others donated by RICE and Africa Plus!
Diverse list of new decisions that rulers can take in order to unite their peoples, make historical titles, and much more.
Many new traditions adding flavor to some regions and cultural men at arms!
County culture and religious spread tweaked to better reflect the starting positions of both in each start date.
Changes to existing cultures to better reflect their cultural traditions.
Cooperation and compatibility (Work in Progress) with projects like RICE!
Expanded name lists for new and vanilla cultures (WIP)!
And much more to come in future updates!

Why doesn’t "X" culture have the traditions I think they should have!
Our team is dedicated to doing proper research on all cultures and if things may seem amiss to you, respectfully provide feedback on our discord. We will not be listening to rants posted on comments.
So what does this mod do again?
It adds more cultures, traditions, decisions, and more to the game.
Is this mod achievement compatible?
No
Why isn’t “X” culture present on the map!?
This mod is a work in progress and everything is subject to change and improvement in the future.
Will you be improving things?!
Future updates will focus on each region of the map and add even more content to the game.
What is coming next for this mod?
Work in Progress screenshots and discussion of future content occurs on our discord. Please join the discord to follow the latest news and progress of the mod’s content. Discord Link – https://discord.gg/xdSAeDPT8y

Is this mod compatible with my old save?
It is not compatible with an existing vanilla save.
Is this mod compatible with "X" mod?
Compatibility is dependent on patches so if your favorite mod does not have a patch for our mod, someone will have to design one. Generally our mod is compatible with mods that do not alter the cultural setup of the map. As our mod is designed with as much compatibility as possible, it should blend with most existing mods unless they are very extensive in their edits.
What mods are incompatible?
Mods that alter the culture spread of the map will be (soft) incompatible and require a compatibility patch if you want our changes to be the main ones. Mods like RICE will blend together with our mod. Other overhauls may work depending on which mod you load last.
Do you edit full vanilla files?
In order to achieve some effects and fix bugs we had to edit the following vanilla files:
global_culture_events.txt
98_fp1_legacies.txt

Can I use your work in my mod?
Permission to use code from our mod is prohibited unless under explicit/written agreement from our mod lead, Celticus. As this was a collaborative project I cannot give permission fully without the consent of others within the mod team. If you have interest in using the content you will need to join our discord and speak to our team directly.
