Great demo. Too bad culture is a joke

Try playing the Ottomans.

You'll find that the cost of converting the provinces Turkish pretty expensive.
I think turning Turnovo Turkish was 100 (or something like that) and I only did it because a mission gave me a reward and cover 1/10th the cost. I just wanted to play with the mechanic. [I can't recall the exact number, but in my mind it wasn't worth it.]
Other than a couple provinces, the cost of converting the Balkans and Aegean is not really worth it. They're just too poor.

You'll be better off forging cores on your new territory and trying to keep up with the Europeans.
Good luck with that strategy with a country with no oversea provinces.

Tried a game as Portugal, and converting the Kongo was rather easy though.

Revolt risk can be reduced to zero with a core and the same religion.


I don't think that should be WAD, as there should always be some revolt risk with an unaccepted culture.

Thank you very much, I was going to post something similar and luckily found your post at the end of the thread. People complaining about cultural conversion being far too easy should first think about what it would effectively mean within the EU time period, and only start complaining if their point is till valid after they've taken that into consideration. I'm getting the impression that a lot of people are judging culture in the game by the standards of 19th/20th century nationalism which don't apply to the EU era.

I'm not against the mechanic, I just wish there was a higher base cost so even cultures dominating poor provinces should be somewhat costly to flip.
