Usage Tips

Finding Culture IDs: Use gm.query.culture first to find available culture IDs:

# List all cultures to find IDs
gm.query.culture

# Then get detailed info
gm.query.culture_info empire

Understanding Name Lists: The name counts show how many unique names are available:

• Male Names: Names used for male heroes from this culture
• Female Names: Names used for female heroes from this culture
• Clan Names: Names used for clans of this culture

Checking Main vs Bandit: Use this to verify if a culture is:

• Main Culture: Major faction culture (empire, vlandia, etc.)
• Bandit Culture: Hostile non-faction culture (looters, bandits, etc.)

Culture Selection Planning: Review name availability before generating many heroes:

# Check how many names are available
gm.query.culture_info empire

# Then generate heroes knowing name variety
gm.hero.generate_lords 50 empire both

Notes

Name Availability: When generating multiple heroes from the same culture, the name lists ensure variety. Larger name lists mean more unique names available before potential duplicates.

Culture Colors: The color values represent the faction's primary and secondary colors used in the game's UI and banners.

Main Cultures: Main cultures (empire, vlandia, sturgia, aserai, battania, khuzait) typically have larger name lists and more complete data than bandit or minor cultures.

Use Case: This command is particularly useful for:

• Planning large hero generation batches
• Understanding culture characteristics
• Verifying culture type before use
• Checking name availability for role-playing scenarios
