Country Cultures

[Tunch Khan]

I wonder how the cultures will be distributed to the countries.
In FAQ, i've seen Patric mention about Sweden having Swedish, Norwegian and Finish cultures as state culture.
Does that mean any country will have the cultures of the regions they rule? Or is it more complicated?

Will A-H have only Austrian and Hungarian as state culture or Bosnian, Serbian, etc as well?

How about OE? Turkish, Arabic, Albanian, Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Kurdish, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Georgian, Circassian, etc. which of them will make it as state culture and which of them will be excluded?

Will UK have Indian as state culture? How will it reflect the religions? Since the Hindu Indians were very loyal to the crown while the Moslem Indians actively refused to fight against OE in WWI.

What are the cultures in North America? And the ROTW (as it is a popular saying over there)?

I saw that the uk had canadian culture i thought that was kind of weird sinse at the time its cultures were french and english, and even today there isnt a canadian culture its is the most multicultural place on earth.

Negative, that would be the United States.

I agree. Brazil, the USA and Canada are multcultural countries.

Not really.

Giving Canada "French" and "British" culture would do just fine...

But Brazil and the States, yeah, melting pots.

Actually the screenie I saw specified British and Anglo-Canadian. I can only assume 'Quebecois' is its own kultur.

Yes you're right. Today Canada is kind of a mini-USA, but at Victoria's timeframe they weren't.

I was disapointed to see Yankee and Dixie cultures. I'd have rather had them a mixture of all the different ethnic groups comprising the respective states (though that would be a lot of coding). The easier way is to have one Yankee and Dixie, (and also perhaps Texan?) culture that immigrants assimilate into, but I would either go all the way (one culture for American and non-quebecois Canadian) or all the other way (a mixture of english majority and various 'others' according to the population of the time)

What I understood - I may be wrong - is that you won't have "state" cultures.

Remember in EUII : state cultures influence economical and production outputs (managed by infrastructure and manufactory levels in Vic), and revolt risk (managed by the quantity of available goods and overall national decisions in Vic). Hence culture does not play such roles in Vic.

During this time period, the main revolts and internal turmoils in Europe were caused by political thoughts and fights, oppression of certain classes, not cultures.

I think Sweden having Swedish, Norwegian and Finish cultures in a screenshot means that Sweden rules territories where there are Swedes, Norwegians and Finns. No other consequences.

But I repeat : I may be wrong .


Edit : this thread might reveal other aspect. No direct link with state culture, though.

I guess no one knows the answer and Paradox once more declines to answer.

Certainly not for unwillingness to answer but for having so much on their hands, though.

Hardly. Conflicting imperial and ethnic aspirations are the defining feature of this period. It's not called the Age of Nationalism for nothing. If culture has no effect on revolt risk I'll be gobsmacked.

So far, yes. When the game is officially out, we can comment a bit more (but some things will remain under NDA for the rest of our lives... ).

 

[Niptium]

That's a fact. I know Québec is a revoltable nation (from the Uk and maybe even from Canada). So to have «une culture Québécoise» is just a no brainer.

Right. Finns, Poles, Ukrainians in Russia, Slavs, Hungarians, Rumanians, Italians in Austria(-Hungary), the Ottoman Empire having a "few" problems of it's own in this department. If culture isn't effecting revolt risk, I'd be very disappointed.

Those parties were just the beginning. A trick to lure unexpecting betas into this mess.

You wouldn't belive what kind of crazy things are going on in the deepest basements of the Hi-tech building even if I told you .

Some of the betas tried to talk and get out, but I haven't seen them since...

Will it be possible to change culture of a province. I mean if some demographic movements will be involved in Vic it should be rather possible?
I want to send enough Spanish emigrants to my future satelite, Sweden, to make one or more provinces more Spanish than it ever was
