Description

Culture Options

You can specify cultures using:

• Culture groups:
  • main_cultures - All main faction cultures
  • bandit_cultures - Bandit culture types
  • all_cultures - All available cultures

Notes

NOTE: Minor clans start at Tier 1 and have lower starting resources compared to noble clans created with gm.clan.create_clan.

NOTE: If no leader is specified (or null is passed), a new hero will be automatically generated based on the culture.

NOTE: Minor clans are independent by default and do not automatically join kingdoms.

TIP: Use bandit_cultures to create bandit factions with appropriate cultural aesthetics.

TIP: Set createParty to false if you want to manually create and configure the party later.

TIP: Minor clans are perfect for creating mercenary companies, trading guilds, or custom faction groups.
