So this is my 4th run now, where I've noticed this, so I figured, maybe they just don't have the dip points to promote a culture? Well no, in my last run tag switched and the AI is sitting on 600 bird mana, not behind in tech but has only 1/6 accepted cultures.
However, what they do instead is culture converting every non accepted province, and the Ottomans are by far the worst offender at this. They get empire rank for free (basically) and instead of accepting azerbeijani,Aremnia or Persian culture, they just culture convert it all to mashriqi EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. despite having enough slots to accept these cultures.
The same goes for Poland, they almost never accept Prussian culture in my games and instead, convert all the land to polish culture. It is, quite frankly, ruining my gaming experience as much as when Blobstria "connected" the habsburg land by annexing all of southern Germany...
