Colonies and cultures

[Redwallzyl]

so i was looking at the culture map and i noticed there are a lot of cultures that you never see because they are all in colonizable provinces so they get overwritten immediately. why not just have them stay once you colonize? obviously it would not be good for some places like north and some of south America but it would be a lot more interesting and would make a lot more sense then having half of Indonesia be my culture. only uninhibited or sparsely populated places should flip culture to yours but the rest should stay what they were before.

Really, the only provinces that should automatically become your culture are in Colonial Regions and Siberia. Everywhere else kept its local culture for the most part.

there are some uninhabited islands. saint Helena for one i think.

Sure, I think we can take an uninhabited place (whether because they were like that before, or because of genocide) as having 'no' culture, so the coloniser's culture takes over.

To be honest there should be events during the colonisation process that change it to your culture and religion, with the MTTH increased or decreased based on native size, ferocity and aggressiveness.

Things like native population over 4000-5000 should be near impossible to convert naturally and you must spend the diplo points to convert it if you really want.

Uninhabited places should obviously be your religion and culture.


Then again I feel like colonisation needs a complete rework.

Good idea... but then, everyone would kill all the natives...
But I think colonization has always been to easy in Europa Universalis:
Changing culture through colonization should only be possible through events or investment of diplo points, and getting rid of the natives should cost more MIL points, and it should be made impossible to sweep more than 5000 natives in one strike.
Also, it's unrealistic that the troops "waking" the natives get the terrain bonus. The natives should get the terrain bonus because, y'know, they've always been there.
Also, a colonial nation owning a lot of native culture provinces should see new culture appear: for example, iberian CN should get latino, mexican or colombian cultures, french CN, creole (even if it comes more from the slaves than the natives...) or quebecois culture.
