2.32 Saguntum won't be absorbed.

[Surgünoglu]

Both in normal game play and then, later, when I triggered the event 4001 in province 14 by console, Saguntum will not be culturally converted. All other provinces have worked as expected with the same event.

Edit--and I am an idiot, because I don't think that event changes the culture at all but rather reduces barbarian presence. Ugh. I apologize.

Check the barbarian power in that province. Event 4010 (cultural conversion) is triggered by event 4001, provided the barbarian power is reduced to zero (less than 1, actually).
