I'm wondering, how would one make a mod shifting the cultures and religions around, but limiting it by region? You know, without African religion popping up in Iceland, but rather in the confines of Africa. Italian culture in south of France, but not in India. I have always used historical culture and religion setup, for this very reason, but I'd like a bit more randomness, but not too random.

Great mod! For you dumb dumbs below me, this is only for shattered and random worlds.
parspegame 21 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
Not sure what this is supposed to do as there is no random world generator appearing.

Egyptian Pagan results in "noreligion". So it's missing. Still my favorite mod. It's just the Egyptian religion is either broken or missing. Could be a coding or ID issue.

I don't see any of the sliders or anything other than the vanilla options, I tried running the mod without any other mods but to no avail, am I missing something or is it because the mod hasn't been updated or something?

For anyone wondering, if you just unzip the file in your mod folder, change the .mod file's "archive" to "path" and delete the ".zip," it's very easy to edit this manually. In "ase_scenarios_modular" find the entry for Scandinavia's cutlure and you'll see the type "ppotential" that makes that slider disabled. Set "defaults" to whichever values you want. I've found it to be super helpful when rerolling.

I will try and fix the remaining issues soon!

This is amazing, I really appreciate the effort you put into it. Just looking at the files shows the amount of work you did and I can see how tedious some of it might have been. Going to create a world to my designs tmr, and it will be beautiful. :D

Ah, but if only we could assign what kingdoms and duchies fall under which empires manually now that would be fantastic. Not sure if that could be done though, either way thanks for your hard work with this.

Is this compatible with African Religions Overhaul?

Is it possible to make the sliders save their positions between world creation? It's really annoying to have to set up all of the sliders all over again when creating a new world
Hariti Khatri 15 Oct, 2019 @ 8:55pm 
Scandinavia slider is *still* broken.
MrPaol 5 Oct, 2019 @ 10:09am 
Is a bug? Duchy of Wadai (near center africa) is in Kanem and Ethiopia region, but have religion and culture of you select in Ethiopia

Great mod! Finally i can live my dream of uniting pre-roman gaul
Velar 18 Aug, 2019 @ 6:16pm 
You are absolutely amazing, thank you so much for making this. I have been fighting this damn game trying to figure out a way to limit 3 religions and a few cultures for weeks now. This mod works perfectly, I adapted it to a custom map I made and it works splendidly. I really appreciate your work! Upvoted and favorited. Keep up the good work.
amarthlinde 5 Jul, 2019 @ 2:44pm 
Is there a way to add modded religions from other mods to the slider list?
2000wires 20 Jun, 2019 @ 8:20pm 
Do you ever plan on adding custom cultures or stuff like this? Or could we make our own sub-mods for that? Also, how do you add in/make your own cultures in CK2?
Hariti Khatri 16 Jun, 2019 @ 10:24pm 
The scandanavia culture slider doesn't seem to be working.
Hariti Khatri 13 Jun, 2019 @ 1:02pm 
Seconded regarding Iceland, and honestly Frisia needs to be one too.
lake chud 8 Jun, 2019 @ 4:56pm 
Can you make Iceland a separate region?
Hariti Khatri 7 Jun, 2019 @ 10:45pm 
"and the generic pagan culture" YAY! I wanted that so bad.
LNSS  [author] 7 Jun, 2019 @ 6:55pm 
I have updated again. The selections now use sliders instead, and are now available for Shattered World too. Also split the Francia region into Brittanny, West Francia, and Middle Francia (and split off Burgundy in the next update). Generic Pagans are now available, as well as Animal Cultures. I want to add governments next update. NOTE: To know what slider number is what culture/religion, look at the tooltip (as in the pic). I will also add the lists here.
Thinkawsomedude16 6 Jun, 2019 @ 6:33pm 
All I can say is, thank you so much for making the choices into sliders, it'll make things so much easier and far less painful to do.
LNSS  [author] 6 Jun, 2019 @ 6:21pm 
Happy to announce I have figured how to make the selection of culture and religion into sliders, so there will be much less clicking soon. I will add animal cultures, few missing ones like Assyrian, and the generic pagan culture. I should probably split Francia since it's the densest region by far. Can't promise that I will add many more cultures or religions from other mods, though.
Hariti Khatri 5 Jun, 2019 @ 3:53pm 
Also, would be great if you could break francia up into more than one option. Brittany at least should be it's own thing, and probably also Aquitaine. Burgundy, and maybe even Normandy.
Hariti Khatri 5 Jun, 2019 @ 11:28am 
Hmm. Any possibility of adding the vanilla animal cultures to the culture options?
Saruman 4 Jun, 2019 @ 12:23am 
Do you planning to add compatibility of this mod with the "Fantastical Kingdoms" mod?
And it would be nice to add the ability to customize religions and cultures for "Shattered Worlds".
LNSS  [author] 2 Jun, 2019 @ 5:42pm 
The people who arent getting any options or just some options, another mod might be interfering. Try loading the game with just this mod to see if that is the issue. As for Assyrian, I'll check that out.
Thinkawsomedude16 2 Jun, 2019 @ 3:00pm 
After customizing an entire map (RIP my mouse) I realize the Assyrian culture isn't present. Not sure if there are other missing, but I definitely noticed that one was absent.
suplittleg 2 Jun, 2019 @ 2:17pm 
I'm not able to get any options to change culture. I've unsubscribed and subscribed twice and it still doesn't fix anything.
Thinkawsomedude16 31 May, 2019 @ 8:08pm 
Hey, the fact you're able to at least hit the culture nail on the head is gonna get people really excited, don't need any of the fancy interface stuff.

Again I don't know whether it's a worthwhile idea or not, but having the default pagan religion as an alternative to the other more specific versions.
LNSS  [author] 31 May, 2019 @ 7:34pm 
Also broke down Spain into three. More region splits might be forthcoming.
LNSS  [author] 31 May, 2019 @ 7:33pm 
I have added Cultures! Unfortunately due to PDX limitations I can't mae the selection a drop-down, so clicking a lot is a necessity, specially with cultures. :/
GoGoShalls210 30 May, 2019 @ 8:25am 
i dont get these options
meme man 30 May, 2019 @ 8:11am 
Thanks for this, been wanting this for agessss. If possible maybe break the regions down a bit more? Would be cool to have Northern Germany pagan but not the southern half for example
Thinkawsomedude16 30 May, 2019 @ 6:16am 
I was going to suggest that, if possible, you can make the cultures and religions pop down in a small drop-down menu, cause the incessant clicking for going from one to the other becomes a serious pain.

Oh, and also, if it was possible to enable the default pagan religion (if that even exists with the use of ARR), that'd be a nice filler for areas that don't particularly subscribe to any of the more specific pagan brands (like Iberia).
Sullivas 28 May, 2019 @ 4:03pm 
Can you make a mod similar to this but being able to set the start date to any time for immersion's sake?
LNSS  [author] 28 May, 2019 @ 1:02pm 
I have updated with an option for Qarmatian religion, and to include the new provinces in Egypt and Iberia. I wil try to add cultures soon. @Baron Ultrapoor @Aegor Blackfyre, it might not have downloaded correctly, I guess try unsubsribing and subscribing again.
Valc 28 May, 2019 @ 12:17pm 
This mod just doesn't seem to appear in my mod list at all. I checked the files too and from what I can tell there's nothing there either. Any ideas why this might be?
Argonisi 28 May, 2019 @ 7:55am 
What is the starting year date?
Wettus 28 May, 2019 @ 6:43am 
Does this work with HIP?
˗ˏˋ ♡ ˎˊ˗ 28 May, 2019 @ 6:27am 
this mod is actually so good but please add some aniciet cultures or something like dat :)))))))))))
Thinkawsomedude16 28 May, 2019 @ 6:16am 
@In_The_Motion has the exact same question that I've got. Doing one of these for cultures would give the perfect combo of customization for those people who want to utterly and completely do away with the idea of legitimate history, instead substituting out their own version in light of wanting more, varied adventures.
Namazuo "Horse Poop" Toushiro 28 May, 2019 @ 2:37am 
Wallachia seems to be a blind spot.
falhxer 28 May, 2019 @ 2:19am 
Can something like that be added for cultures ? I want to start a megacampaign mod AAR based on if what the roman empire never existed, and this could prove to be an amazing tool to shape the world.
Thomahawk2k 28 May, 2019 @ 12:32am 
Awesome idea. It is awesome how this makes it possible to create awesome semi-believable scenarios despite the clunky AI I suspect out of experience modding other PDX games you can do little about. Hopefully it will be possible to tie tribal holdings to paganism and in the future. Some additional smaller regions like North and South Germany, North and South France, the low lands and Tunisia would also be nice.
Oblivion 27 May, 2019 @ 6:45pm 
Cool idea, but doesnt work for me. Dont see any option to make any place hellenic.
Pharaoh John 27 May, 2019 @ 9:24am 
YEAH BOI
Bergie 27 May, 2019 @ 9:06am 
Yeah, was gonna say...there were a lot of celts in Iberia as well. Still are I suppose, culturally speaking.
