Yeah I must have unpacked it wrong, another download later, and everything was auto-filled, thanks for the help.

Hello, I have 1 more question. How can you reduce the number of fortresses? Because I think there are too many of them. All AIs are negative in terms of income.
Let's say 35-40%
Let's say 35-40%
I'm not for myself, I'm talking about AI, it will just fall into bankruptcy, about 70% of AI goes into negative territory even without a war, but I think it's just easier to prescribe the content of fortresses in the difficulty settings -50%
The AI will in fact delete forts when it cannot sustain them. At the start of the game, until economy stabilizes, AI can fall into debt but from my experience it events out soon. Also this will mostly affect huge blobby nations filled with low dev. You can raise the dev values higher so the world is not a wasteland, and generally speaking those nations fall into debt not because of forts but because they are too huge for their gov capacity and won't state 95% of their land.
EDIT: Far from me to tell you how to play your own games, but in my experience if helps immensely to play CK2 with quartered demesne, halved vassals and powerful revolts. It'll keep countries about EU4-sized when converting and won't allow blobs to form. It also helps to shatter large empires through configuration options. Such countries will have smaller footprint and much stronger economy due to not being over govcap.

I have another question about the converter, in regard to culture, mainly.
While I'm generally happy with how cultures convert (I like how EU4 exclusive cultures also make it in), there's a couple of oddities I've noticed.
I'm not sure why Pictish converts as Highlander. Aside from living in the same geographical region there's not much that they have in common aside from the fact that they're both Celtic. Highlanders would be more closer related to the Irish, being a Gaelic people, whereas Picts are not considered Gaelic and may be closer related to the Welsh linguistically (although we don't know much about the Picts, really, it's also possible that they might have been non-indo-european like Basques but I don't know how much weight that theory holds these days).
It would please my amateur-Celtic-historian self that it would convert to Pictish (as it does convert straight to Pictish in the dlc converter). But I'm not sure how much work that would take so I make no serious demands for it. I suppose it's ultimately a minor nit-pick in the grand scheme of things.

Are you sure?
link = { eu4 = pictish ck2 = pictish tech = western gfx = westerngfx }
Should be pictish in eu4. Don't see highland_scottish anywhere in the converter.

We don't even have Highlander as a culture in ck2toeu4. What converter are you using? Upload log.txt please.
Nope, still nothing:
Methinks you may have enabled some mod in EU4 beside this one that overrode something.

Oh wait! We changed this recently, I recall now. Grab the latest converter and retry.
I thought I had gotten the latest converter? Maybe I missed something, I'll go check.
The latest is D'Este, right?

There has been a slight mistake. Pictish does in fact convert to Highlander in the latest patch. This is because Highlander is in the Gaelic group (along with Irish). Highlander essentially is the remnants of Pictish culture. Calling it Pictish is essentially semantics at that point, no need to create a new culture.
EDIT: Elf already answered before i posted:
After consulting with others I figured out the issue - it's different branches of the converter. Current one - which you have - links pictish with highlander culture and your screenshots are correct. The change was made from my version because Irish had no other culture in its culture group. This is not maybe perfectly accurate, but it's done for gameplay reasons. Sorry for the confusion about it.
With all due respect to yourselves and the work you've done on this mod, that doesn't make much sense to me to worry that much about culture-group balancing in a converter mod. After all, it's entirely possible that one could convert a game which has culturally converted the entire British Isles to one culture, let's say Irish, where it would be culturally isolated anyway without anyone else in its culture-group. The players themselves could culturally unbalance the world before even converting the game.
I would also find it a bit frustrating if I were committed to playing a Pictish culture game in CK2, even making it into an Imperial power to the point where it certainly wouldn't be "remnants" just for it to be converted to an entirely different culture in EU4 on the assumption that this culture will always be a "remnant".
Again, I do very much appreciate the mod, you've clearly done good work on it, but I don't see the logic or player-friendliness behind this design choice.
