For those that don't know what they do:
Unify Culture Group turns your primary culture into a brand new one, freshly baked and entirely made up. All the pops in your country who belonged to your old primary culture and its culture group will now magically switch to this new invention of yours. Only the ones inside your borders, though. Everyone else? Too bad. The pops of your old culture group living just across the border missed the memo.
Your ruler decided it's time to "unify" the culture, and ten years later... pOOf! Hans Müller is no longer culturally acceptable in Germany. He was living in the wrong place when your Kaiser woke up one morning and said, "Let’s be someone else now." Germany invented the Incel culture, and Hans is still Pommeranian. He's no longer kin. Shouldn’t have left the country 15 years ago, Hans.
Form New Culture is for the moments when you are stuck being the cultural sidekick. Imagine playing Verona. You didn’t conquer Venice, those smug lagoon lurkers are safe behind their floating city walls, and your army can’t swim. You’re staring at them, seething, while they mock you from their gondolas. Everyone who has failed to reach Venice knows the pain, but the real insult is sharing a culture with them.
Now, if you have Kingdom or Empire rank and Venice is the Dominant Country of the Venetian culture, you can abandon it and invent something better in just 10 years! Become a Sayan, a Wizard, a Dwarf, reinvent yourself however you like, while they stay boring old Venetians. Who’s laughing now? Just make sure to conquer every bit of Venetian land you can before you ascend to cultural godhood so you deny them from having those Venetian pops foreeeever mwahahaha. Leave them with a few Greek islands and their precious trade income. They can keep the ducats, you’ll keep the people.
So yes, these features are very fun, immersive, and realistic. I love them deeply. But please, for the love of all that is holy, give us a setting to disable them. I think I can live with Cultural Capacity.
