Culture Assimilation

[Razer_greece]

Hi i'm a new user to victoria 2 and i have many questions unanswered. One of them is how can i boost the culture assimilation of a province. I've been playing as Greece and i got my provinces back with increase tension - crisis - etc. But except the event that i got to assimilate my provinces i found no other way to do it. Is there a way to do it so i don't have to deal with rebel factions? Happened to me while i was playing Belgium aswell. Should i focus in something? What should i do ?

If you check the population tab and roll your mouse over the culture name, it'll tell you how many people are assimilating and other factors that can help make it faster or make it slower.

Keep in mind that this is not EU4. There is no magic button that you can press to change cultures. In Victoria 2, the problems associated with a polyethnic empire stays with you throughout the game. The reason why, is likely that province culture in EU4 represents the culture of the ruling elite - not the peasants. In Victoria 2, however, the masses will have their say.

It all depends, of course, on whether or not you are playing with expansions. If I remember correctly, the assimilation rates in the base game are a bit more extreme, allowing for some weird stuff.

I think that population in EU4 was the one of the city, at least in EU3 it was. in Crusader Kings was the aristocracy´s culture.

The culture in EU4 is... a thing. All interpretations of it fail horribly one way or another (if it's the aristocracy, Athens should be Lombard; if it's the peasants, Poszony and Szepes should be Slovak); best to just treat it as the abstract game mechanical value that it is.
