I‘m very exited for Khans of the Steppe!
But there was something I was worried about and watching the youtube preview confirmed my fear: Migrating somewhere doesn‘t seem to turn (some of) those counties to your culture and/or faith.
In the video they migrated their Pecheneg Tengri khan to Alan Orthodox lands. Upon migration, these lands remained Alan and Orthodox.
This means, for example, that with the new rule where the culture head is the character with the most herd for nomads (which I like in and of itself) a character can become the head of a culture without holding A SINGLE county of that culture.
This is in and of itself incredibly strange. How can I, as a Buryat Khan culture head located near the Black Sea, influence the cultural traditions of my bertheren who are all a world away near Lake Baykal and whom I don‘t control?
It‘s also strange given that the „overrun kingdom“ decision does exactly what should logically also happen upon intra-steppe migration. The word migration implies a larger transfer of population, not just the taking over of a people by a new ruler.
It also feels strange that the steppes dynamism should be reflected by the political map, but that the cultutal map stays oddly static.
Please tell me I‘m overlooking something, this kinda numbs my hype for this expansion. Surely this couldn‘t have been overlooked?

That sounds very strange indeed. You would expect at least some lands to convert...
Some people pointed out in another thread that normally cultures do seem to migrate:
It seems that it is simply that the Alans are tribal, which protects them from being replaced.
