A few questions

[unmerged(27602)]

1. Is it possible to change the culture of a province? I've heard of this happen on this board. I say this because as Russia I have a lot of mongolian provinces which I hope to change to Russian culture. Can this be done.

2. What does it mean if a province is your national province?

Thanks.

If the province is pagan, when you convert it, it will change to your state culture as well.

2. What does it mean if a province is your national province?

This means you have a claim on it. If anyone else owns it you get a CB against them. If you own it, you get double troop recruitment capacity, slower war exhaustion, and 25% annual tax as a base(+75% with a bailiff = 100% total).

From eu2wiki:

A core province of a nation can be defined as a province which, if it is held by another country, the original country has a permanent CB on. This is represented to the player (for the player's country only) by the coat of arms displayed atop that province on the map, when using the political map mode (accessable by clicking on the crossed flags emblem above the mini-map).

When acquired in a war, a core province receives no nationalism revolt risk.

Core provinces also provide more tax income than non-core provinces (except under maximum centralization with tax collectors present, in which circumstance the non-core penalty is cancelled out).

Core provinces also experience one-half of the revolt risk caused by war exhaustion, compared to non-core provinces.

Core provinces are twice as likely to be affected by a successful religious conversion.

Core provinces may be demanded in a peace treaty, at half the usual warscore cost. Even if not occupied, they can be demanded at double the usual warscore cost.

Yes. There are 2 ways to change a province's culture. One way is as already described. A pagan province converted to your religion will change the underlying base culture of the province to your own. The second way is through event. There is an event command that will change the culture of certain provinces when events fire. If you have event editing skills, you can make a random event that when it fires, will convert one random province to your state culture. In the case of a multi-state cultured country, the first culture listed is the primary culture.

A brilliant exposition. Who wrote this? Is the Wiki this good generally?

Ah, the power of Wiki. I put in a comment about badboy and also changed what it said about nationalism (AFAIK cores NEVER suffer nationalism - the timer is still there but the in-game effects are suppressed).

Daniel A,
It's even better. Just check it on yourself (the weakest article, IMO, is 'picking the nation'. I begun it and forgot to finish, and now I have other priorities.). If you want to know how uber our wiki is, read the following articles:

http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Policy_sliders
http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Basis_of_warfare
http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Trade
http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Technology

As for smaller articles, these are good examples:

http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Rebellions
http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php/Civil_war

(most of them has Fodoron's template at the end - well, he helped us a lot).

"Core province" has been created by Labalag, me, Sheridan and Incompetent. See: http://dhost.info/arsud/mediawiki-1.4rc1/index.php?title=Core_province&action=history

A couple more ways to change province cultures:
1. If it is a colony which has not reached city status and a single colonist will not cause it to become a city then a colonist will cause it to change to your religion and culture.
2. If it is a colonial city (pop. 1000-4999), outside Europe, and has been captured from another country then it will change culture when nationalism goes away (immediately in the case of a province revolting away from the other country).

For your purposes, note that Europe ends in Orenburg-Astrakhan. Also, in AGCEEP most of those European mongol provinces have "tatar" culture which Muscovy starts with along with russian.
