Culture Spread Changed?

[Neanderthal]

I've recently played as the Kingdom of Ireland. I set off conquering Wales and Scotland and once thing I've noticed that's mighty strange is that Christian counties in Wales and Scotland with no direct connection to an Irish culture county are becoming Irish. Even counties ruled by Welsh or Scottish dukes/counts.

Is this a recent change? All information I've read about this states this shouldn't be happening.

There's a culture change event based on the culture of the liege, but if I read it properly it should only fire if the vassal has the proper culture. It's tied to the concept of "conquest culture", which needs to be the same as that of the top liege. It only requires a correct culture province somewhere and a capital of the wrong culture.

Also there's two provinces of Scotland that actually connect to Ireland through straits, but I suspect you'd already have noticed

I'm also playing as King of Ireland. I had acquired all of Wales, except Glamorgan and Gwent. Then the muslims invaded England and proceeded to take all of Wales from me. At that point, I took both Glamorgan and Gwent, ironically, since they were left independent for some reason. I subsequently re-took the remainder of Wales, then Glamorgan for some reason changed to Irish culture (maybe 20 years after I took it).

That is true Divi, but neither Galloway nor Argyll (Argyll is the other one, right?) are Irish and isolated Scottish counties like Fife have become Irish. From what I've read it should spread through directly connected provinces only (I.E, provinces where soldiers can move from one to the other without the use of ships in a single move), maybe that's just something I've misinterpreted.

Event 55001 does not, I believe, require a correct culture province somewhere. The flavor text says you’re bringing in settlers, but they don’t actually come from anywhere.

wasn't that event removed? I haven't seen the 'bring in the settlers' event since the patch

Nope, I've had Negev convert to Irish culture. (For some reason, my heir had made it his capital, before he inherited. -.-)

 

[Mods]

But did the text still say something like 'My subjects despise me, yada yada' with the only option being 'Bring in the settlers'?

Something to that effect. If I recall correctly, the flavor text mentioned bring "some boys" from "home". (But I might have the wording wrong.) The effect was that the province turned Irish and Catholic.

So, based on this information, can we say that, for example, the Irish culture, can spread outside of the British Isles?

It definitely can.

I've seen Frankish counties in a conquered Egypt appear, so it's entirely possible.

I second this question. I saw Catalan culture show up in Ireland, so there must be someway to do it, but going through the event file I can't find anything. (There also definitely wasn't any way to do it a few patches ago).

Event 55001 in culture_conversion_events.txt.

 

[Neanderthal]

Yeah, I just had an Irish county in Britanny, so it is certainly possible.

Happens all the time in this patch. Appointing one province counts of the same culture/religion as yourself in newly conquered territory sparks the event all over the place (though you won't see the event itself).

Do Aztecs have a special event? After the Aztec invasion happened, random coastal counties became Nahua - even though they weren't invaded, nor was their liege invaded.

Yes, they do. Two, in fact. They’re in the sunset_invasion.txt file in the events folder.
