[Discontinued] CK2Plus: Cultural Melting Pots | Empires of Conquest

Description
This mod adds a culture merging mechanic to various ahistorical and historical events, such as the Angevin Empire, a possible English incursion into Spain, and the Turks in Persia/Iran. Suggestions for how to expand and improve the mod are greatly appreciated, so feel free to start discussions or comment below on possible new melting pots.



Mod Requirements & Variants

This version of the mod requires CK2Plus, an alternative version requiring the Historical Immersion Project can be found here, and a third variant that requires neither CK2 nor HIP can be found here.



Notes

Note that in the slideshow above, Culture X + Culture Y >>> Culture Z with X being the ruling class (e.g. the Normans in Norman England), Y is the peasantry (e.g. the Anglosaxons in Norman England), and Z is the resultant culture(s) (e.g. the English in Norman England).



WIP Cultures
  • Italo-Albanian "Arberish" (From Arbëreshë, an Italo-Albanian population in modern Italy)
  • Polish-Lithuanian "Polish-Lithuanian" ✓
  • Franco-Norse "Nordic French"
  • Aztec-Indian "Indo-Aztec"
  • German-West African "Africanish" (From German Afrikanisch meaning "African")
  • Norse-Indian "Indo-Nordic"
  • Indoscythian "Indosakasian"
  • Franco-Iberian "Espanes"
  • Norse-Breton "Norbreton"
  • Han-Altaic "Sino-Mongol"
  • Anglosaxon-Breton "Briton"
  • German-Bohemian "Bohmish" (From German Böhmisch meaning "Bohemian" amongst other things)
  • Various Arab-Indo-Aryan Languages
  • Various Romano-German Conversions (Frankish to French, Anglosaxon to English, Visigothic to Spanish, etc.)
  • Greco-Italian "Romean" ✓
  • Hungarian-Pecheneg "Besenian" (From Hungarian Besenyő "Pecheneg")
  • Polish-German "Niemiecki"
  • Italo-Arabian "Saracen"

✓ denotes a completed culture without events



There is no current desire to update this mod, mostly because I've got 3 versions to manage and I haven't played CK2Plus since Holy Fury was released. Sorry about that :/

Would you mind it if someone was to come in and continue developing the mod with your permission?

you think you could add the cultures from the vanilla version into this one?

Would be pretty cool to add an Egypto-Norse culture from a Norse ruler ruling the Egyptian Arabs and the Coptics, as a reference to this popular AAR https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/the-serpents-of-the-nile-the-tales-of-the-egypto-norse.706275/

Are you going to add sino-... cultures. It would be cool ;)
GodwinMarcelle 14 Jul, 2018 @ 3:19am 
Oh! There should be an italian-Berber/Moorish mix, because Pisa, at least from what I've seen, tends to make headway into Tunisia, at least a little bit. The moors could be under the Saracen umbrella maybe, but I don't really know enough about the Maghrebi or Medieval Italian opinions on them to make that judgement...

I think the question came up at some point.

It would be amazing if the mod would also work with the CK2Plus & EU Converter.

Of course I don't know how much effort that would mean..... Just wanted to suggest it.

A north Germanic ruler holding Arab land should probably be called Serklander, a German ruler would probably be simply "Arabish" as with other German melting pots (German word for Arabic is Arabisch, like Bohemian is Bohemisch and African is Afrikanisch), and while Anglo-Arab is fine and all, maybe something like "Angilish", from Arabic "Al'Anjilu", meaning 'Anglo'.

Considering Holy Fury will also be adding some more life to Pagans, maybe the Norse, Slavs, West Africans and Altaics should get some more attention in the coming months. But that's just my two cents... Well, more like an entire dollar, but you get my point. Focus on what you wanna focus on when you have the time to do so.

I noticed that English-Ruler Melting Pots don't activate when it's just Anglo-Saxon. Maybe it should? Would probably be easier than making pre-Normanization version of the cultures.

Speaking of editing previously included cultures, with Holy Fury coming out soon and thus revitalizing Crusades, it would be fitting to add depth to the Euro-Arab cultures instead of just calling them "Levantine X" or "X-Arabic".

Outremer is already in there as a general Crusader Culture, but in this mod it should probably be in place of Levantine French, since Outremer is a French term, meanwhile for Italian cultures, it should probably be Saracen, which is what they're called in medieval Latin scripts.(1/2)
