[QUOTE=Tureis;44784416]I always figured in CK2 given enough time a culture should fall into your culture group instead of outright changing to your culture right away.[/QUOTE]
This ERE game is pretty ridiculous. I've basically converted all of Persia and Northern India to Greek through the Holy War casus belli.
[QUOTE=Tureis;44783240]One of the thing I both like and dislike in EU4 is the ability to change culture of a province so easily. On one hand, it's very useful for keeping a stable game. On the other, I can't help but consider how you manage to "convert" a province's culture within such a short time; In EU3 I had a resettlement policy last for 300 years and the culture still never changed.[/QUOTE]
To me culture represents the culture of the administrators of the province rather than the wider population. Converting a province to your culture is installing your own administrators rather than relying local elites.

But the "local elites" are the county rulers and their subordinates.

What a boy. :v:

Actually, replacing the administrative aspect with that of a foreign origin actually tends to cause larger civil strife. It should operate via imposing the nation's primary practices over those that do not fit into the nation's culture instead. Another method would be to simply genocide or force the local population that doesn't accept their overlords via taxation or segregation into following your cultural preferences.
However, I'd say that EU4, as a game, fails to present one important factor, and that's creation of new cultures. Cultural intermingling sometimes produces a mixture of multiple cultures rather than the absolute domination of a "primary" culture. A good example would be Byzantium, Austria, and even the free colonies like those in America.

When you convert a culture it become irreversibly dead though. So the idea that "culture" represents the local government rather than the general population is pretty meaningless if said population isn't shown anywhere ingame and has no way to rise up against the foreign conquerors.
Also what if for example England conquers Brittany and converts it, but then loses the territory to France. Does that mean that these Breton populated provinces, under the Kingdom of France, are still somehow administered by a local English elite?

The administrators are represented by the characters who control the barony/county. The culture of the province represents the general population who's only representation in the game is through rebellion.

I always get bored at a certain point in eu4.
At first I was impressed with the AI, but then I looked at the date. Also EU4 simply has no internal depth; even CK2 requires more internal management, and Victoria you can bring a country to greatness only through internal management.
Regarding V2, what is up with AI Canada and sometimes becoming a GP within 20 years of being released from the UK? Not that I'm complaining, but I've seen it happen a few times.

Whats its scores? I'd assume industry because of immigration bonuses.
Immigration giving the potential for a large army and industrial base.
Canada is like the USA but less so than the USA.
Playing as the US in HOI3 i'm at war with the Axis, the Allies and the Soviet Union while being in the Allies. Also the Soviets are at war with the Allies and the Axis. The Spanish Republic won the civil war sometime in 1939. Japan couldn't take over any of my pacific islands since i built lvl 10 forts on all of them and put more units so they took over eastern Siberia from the Soviets instead and i've just had the fall of Leningrad event. The Soviets have no ports left since i took over Archangelsk, their last port.
Also Germany took over Northern Ireland and Faroe islands while i took over Gibraltar and Malta, and now Italy controls the Suez Canal... Had Mexico attack me and now Brazil is doing an amphibious invasion in Texas... And it's just late 1942

Not sure if you meant coastal forts cuz land forts don't do shit for amph invasions on straits.

Multiplayer is fun. Playing with my newbro friend on EZ mode.
[URL="https://www.humblebundle.com/"]Humblebundle[/URL] for Crusader Kings and Crusader Kings 2 ($8) and a lot of CK2 dlc for $20
Sadly it doesn't include any of the major dlc with it such as Old Gods and Sons of Abraham. I can understand it not including Rajas of India since it's brand new, but it seems odd for it to not have at least Old Gods.
The game is perfectly enjoyable without the Dlc. Pagan mechanics are kind of Op anyway.
Muslim decadence is just dumb.
I just bought Victoria II. Lets see if this one is any good.

Get the expansions too if you haven't already, otherwise your Vick2 experience will be unpleasant.
