cultural/religion absorption

[unmerged(44118)]

In my recent game as cyrenaica i was able to capture the entirety of egypt in three wars. Now the problem was that even with high charisma characters the culture never seemed to change, only the religion and even that could take ages.
Is there any way of speeding up the conversion?

First, make sure you don't have any barbarian power in the province. The conversion goes faster with the citizenship and emancipation ideas. Higher civilisation values also speed things up, while a big population makes the conversion a lot slower. (It takes 675% longer for a province with more than 30 in population than one with only 9.).

Ah, thanx for the note about emancipation and citizenship ideas. Playing as Carthage that, and a governor with a 7+CHR should help convert my North African provinces.
