Cultural Conversion

[Avalanchemike]

i am 12 n wut is dis.


Actually, I know how to get the cultural conversion event. I've been doing fairly well with it actually! I've gotten something like twenty counties (Alania, Azov, Crimea, Cherson, Sarkel, southern Ithil, and parts of Pereyaslavl, Moldau and Kiev) converted to Greek in my Cherson -> Georgia-Khazaria game. Would you say I'm unusually lucky?

Also, I'd like to know what is the largest area that you have converted to a certain culture?

Out of the clear blue, one of my heirs had married into the Croation royal family early on, and I had all but forgotten them. Somehow, the Croation royal family became Welsh! and one or two of their primary countries became Welsh too! Thats when I was like... ok Im not going to marry a dynasty member to a far off realm without historical plausablity. Therefore, lol, no marring a Welsh person to anyone except in the British and Irish isles first until I am king, then the Atlantic seaboard once a king, if I conqurer England then I expand into Scandanavia and Northern Europe.

I have only really gotten lucky with cultural conversion once, and it was in the 1187 Scenario as Armenian Cilicia. After conquering the Rumi Turks, I was able to convert most of Anatolia from Greek to Armenian, but that isn't as big a jump as Drachenfire lol!

I tested lately, out of curiosity, Cultural Conversion in the 1066 scenario. Played as Kingdom of Castille and the goal was to spread Castilian culture in Iberian peninsula as quickly as possible. The result was that I managed to convert 25 provinces in 100 years (to be more precise, those conversions happened in 75 years during which my rulers were in peace, out of 45 provinces with foreign culture that belonged into my rulers’ realm).
The 2 main obstacles on the path of spreading your culture are that you can’t convert during a war period and that you run out of convertible provinces eventually. Otherwise, yes, it isn’t too difficult.

In an earlier version (1.03?) I had a Byzantine game where most of Europe was conquered and Greek / Orthodoxy was spread very widely. Sensibly, this is no longer practical (between penalty events for province far removed from your home and higher BB penalties).

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't some areas easier to convert to certain things? Or am I just thinking of the melting pot events that (I think) England gets.

Part of them are probably additions from DVIP, but my version of the game (DVIP+addons) has melting pot events for at least English, Scottish, irish (in the file, probably gaelic in-game), and some of the Iberian Christian cultures, so the British Isles and Iberia effectively do get spread speed boosted.

If I remember correctly, then these culture/region modifiers are there, in the event file, but are "commented out" (at least in CK 1.05) and do not influence the outcome.
