What does the Enforce Culture actually do on colonial subjects? Does it actually change culture for all non-accepted cultures? Does it force convert all cultures to your primary culture? Does it factor any of your IGs or NIs to get a discount on culture conversion.

I've tried it a couple of times in a current campaign but I'm not seeing much happen.

Here's an example: You are England, and you get a PU over Portugal. After 50 years, you inherit them and all their Portuguese-cultured colonial nations. The Enforce Culture will change their primary culture to match yours. It will not change the cultures of any existing Portuguese colonial provinces, but any new colonies started by that CN will be your culture.

It's also available to use on junior partners, where it might be marginally useful to gain the +5% to inheriting or an additional +1 per month integrating due to "same culture group"

Personally, I think it's rather useless, spending all that diplomatic mana for very little or no real effect.

My France doesn't have exploration but has discovered over 5 Mayan provinces in 3 tribal countries within colonisation (coring) range due to annexing Portugal and their Carribean Colonial Nation.

what is the best way to establish another Colonial Nation with minimal manna?

will the CN automatically form once I've annexed 5 provinces even without coring?

You need to core the first 5 provinces, but I think any provinces after that will go to the CN without a core.

Also, if you are at war with a country with provinces you haven't discovered you can explore their provinces without a conquistador by moving your units into the province, so if the provinces you have discovered have high development, you can still explore to find lower development provinces without taking exploration ideas.

What's the requirement for Nationalism CB? I'm just seeing France with Sulawesi ruler (Louis XX, XXI) declare nationalist wars on Pasai.

Here you go:

Here's the link to where this information comes from:

Guessing that Pasai must have taken over a province which was settled by a colonial power with one of the French cultures?

1.35, Domination Question:
If forming Spain as Portugal, you get the entire Spanish mission tree, correct?

yes

 

[Lykus Cerebros]

yes

Isn't there some part missing (the normal castile part)?

Just asking since there are two achievements that I think require you to start as Castile. I tried to fo the achievement for completing tje entire mission tree with Aragon, but didn't get the achievement. At the time I remember people saying there are national parts depending on who forms spain (same reason why you can't get old tercio achievements).

Aragon is different, because they get other missions when forming Spain with the Domination DLC. But if you were never Aragon, you get the Castilian version of the Spanish mission tree. In the current version, you can complete the Forever Golden achievement if you form Spain as Aragon with the Domination DLC, because this is one of the three trees which count for the achievement(IIRC this was not the case in some early 1.35 versions). But the Aragonese tree from the Golden Century DLC doesn't count. And you can't get the No Country for Old Tercios achievement if you were Aragon, because the Spanish-aragonese tree is missing the required missions

my France diplomatically annexed Meath which contained all but one of the Irish provinces in States

when incorporated into France. the States became Territories

Why? How?

Why? How?

Did Meath have them fully cored, or were some still territorial cores?

Edit: Just tested it out on a save where I was almost done annexing a vassal myself. All of my vassal's full cores became my full cores, but my vassal's territorial cores remained territorial cores.

At my last save 6 months ago (1 Jan 1539) all provinces had min autonomy of zero.
About 1/2 had 0 autonomy but others were seriously raising autonomy.
I assume all provinces were fully cored.

My diplo annex was 92% complete and Meath's opinion of Fr was 200

Meath had 2 stab, no WE or corruption and was breaking even economically
king was 59 with a 43yo heir available

Quick way to check:

1. Change mapmode to Diplomatic
2. Click on a province owned by your vassal Meath.
3. Green provinces are full cores, pale green provinces are territorial cores, and a green/pale green striping is a territorial core within a state.

They were all full core in January before annexation finished

Juat to double-check, they became territorial cores after the annexation? It's not that they were state cores in territories, right?

Why? How?

You have to click to make states after annexation (your integrated subject's states don't become your states automatically), but if your vassal made them full cores you won't have to pay any admin mana at the moment you click to make the state.

thanks RoM

i ran the game from the last save till annexation and got the same result - all territories

but this time I immediately made them states and problem solved all became fully cored - weird

It is totally normal that new provinces which you acquire start as territories if you don't already have a state in that area. That also applies to provinces which you get when annexing a subject. But you get the same type of core which your subject had there. So if they had a full core, you get a full core. This way you can have full cores in territories. If you ever turn that area into a state, they will stay a full core, so you don't have to pay for coring. But if you ever turn a state into a territory with the button in the state tab, all full cores in that state will turn into territorial cores
