I was looking in the "Post your Empire" thread and admiring all the culturally homogenous empires. What's a good strategy for bringing subjugated lands around to your culture? Do you just give the lands to a vassal with the culture you want to spread and wait, or is there other things I can and should be doing? I want to bring my frog-eating French subjects around to proper English culture.

In theory the best idea is, I think, to destroy your kingdom title and then re-create it. This will set its conquest culture to whichever culture you have. You need a secondary kingdom title in order to do that, though.

The way to swap province culture is to have a high stewardship vassal (or yourself) control a province that is next to a province of your culture and it will eventually flip. There isn't much you can do after having a 20+ stewardship vassal tho.

This way you can flip Ireland to Norwegian since Dublin starts as Norwegian, just the vassal and time required.

IIRC it caps at 13. (averages to something like 30 years)

0-1 stewardship - 6075 months (506.25 years)
2 - 4050 months (337.5 years)
3 - 2700 (225 years)
4 - 1800 (150 years)
5-9 - 1200 (100 years)
10 - 900 (75 years)
11 - 675 (56.25 years)
12 - 506.25 (42.1875 years)
13+ - 380 (31.67 years)

you can I'm just not sure how. recent game my Pomerania culture jumped across the sea into Norway, Russia, Sweden and Finland. What was odd was that Russia converted to my culture faster then the locals Poland and other near by areas.

Looking at the culture map, Frisia dutch jumped the channel, and London, and parts of southern England have changed, Irish culture has jumped into wales. Greek has jumped all around Africa do to the Roman Empires raise...and re-fall. it continues with other, so it does not have to

In my England game, Norman has spread to Bedford and one of it's adjacent counties. And they're both landlocked. I have Norman counts/dukes in all counties, but still - while Norman spread from the adjacent province to Bedford, I have no idea how it got there in the first place.

Ive hand English culture spread in France and Norman culture in England. It all depends on when the culture swap events decide to fire.
