Community Culture Utility

CCU is a community framework mod that aims to provide a bit more granularity to language and heritage relationships by adding heritage and language groups and families. No longer will cultures with West Germanic heritage be considered as foreign to Central Germanic ones as to Chinese ones. Similarly, it will be easier to learn languages more closely related to your mother tongue based on their group and family.

• Cultures with a shared heritage group/family have increased baseline cultural acceptance
  
• Cultures with a shared language group/family have increased baseline cultural acceptance

• CCU needs to go towards the end of your load order, after any mods that add new heritages or languages
  
• Mods that add or edit heritages or languages should add those files to CCU
  
• RICE, More Bookmarks +, Better Medieval Cultures, and Africa + compatibility is built-in. Other mods that add heritages or languages are not compatible yet.
  
• CCU is already integrated into Sinews of War, The Fallen Eagle, Crusader Universalis, After the End (unreleased), Sagas of Scandinavia (unreleased), Rajas of Asia, Cultures Expanded, and When the World Stopped Making Sense (unreleased)
  
• Not usable out-of-the-box on existing saves, but should work ok if you type `effect trigger_event = { on_action = ccu_startup }` into the console when loading the save with CCU for the first time.
