Every 6 days of a battle, just after the last day of the shock phase both armies are reorganised so that the most fresh units take their place instead of the battered weak units fight to the end.
This change would make having large armies more usefull without needing to micromanage and would likely make large ai stacks more dangerous.

Retreating from battle by your order should instantly put your army's moral to zero and give a much bigger prestige hit.

Instead of having cultures accepted and not accepted automaticly make it so that you can chose which cultures to accept.
We could have a limit on how many cultures we can accept which is increased by example humanism.
You can remove an accepted culture to then be able to accept a new one but it would make all provinces of the now not accepted culture to gain noticable unrest.

I have no real opinion on the first thing, but as for the second;
The reason you retreat from a battle manually is to prevent the army shattering due to reaching below 0.5 Morale. If the army was to instantly be drained of Morale just because a retreat was ordered it would just make this strategy completely useless, which is also extremely unrealistic. I do agree the Prestige hit for retreating from a battle rather than losing it should be larger though.

I like the idea with accepted Cultures. Another idea I had is to make Cultures accepted in the manner that Religions are, with a "Tolerance for same Culture Group" value, as well as a "Tolerance for foreign Cultures" one. Maybe even a separate value for each Culture group? That might be a bit excessive though. Another way to have slightly more control over which Cultures are to be accepted is to maybe make it tied to Local Autonomy?

I tought about that culture tolerance could be like religions however I think we should try for a different system.

Prestige should be much much much harder to get, it is extreamly easy to have it at 100% at all time then destroying 1k stack give you atleast 5 prestige.
Bonuses from prestige could be increased to making it more valuable.
