Organic Culture Transmission

Organic Culture Transmission A Culture Conversion Alternative Updated for 1. 17.x.x Compatible with 1. 18.x.x Fully compatible with Extended Timeline via Patch Description: This mod provides a new mechanic for culture conversion. In contrast to the default mechanic for culture conversion where a state chooses a province to convert and spends a certain amount of monarch points, this mod makes the process natural and passive. Cultural conversion is a process that happens over time to your provinces when certain conditions are met. Big picture, the mod works in two steps: To start with you must own a province that doesn’t have your primary culture. Step 1. After some time an event will transform the population into a ‘hybridized’ version of your primary culture. Think about it like this: the Ottomans invade and occupy the Balkans for a time. After a while the people there become accustomed to the Ottoman state and way of life. They are still Bulgarians or Serbians or whatever, but they have been affected by their time under Ottoman rule. We can call them ‘Ottomanized’ Bulgarians, to indicate that they are culturally Bulgarian but have are accustomed to Ottoman culture. They fit better into the machinery of the Ottoman state then some other newly conquered people. In game terms this translates into a province level modifier with bonuses which mitigate the negative effects of having a non-accepted culture in the province for the country. Step 2. After some more time another event will fire which converts the province to your primary culture. The length of time it takes before each event stage will occur is approximately 80 years, although this is modified by a number of factors such as development, terrain, government type, buildings, religious tolerance, idea groups, etc. For details on this process please check this linked thread Moreover, the mod gives the player 3 options on how to implement these mechanics. The player makes a selection at the beginning of each play th
