[Mini-mod] Culture Spread Via Ports

[Meneth]

As I dislike that culture cannot spread to islands, I made a small mod that lets coastal provinces gain the culture of their liege. This takes 50% longer on average than if it were bordering a province with the culture.
In addition, all coastal provinces can culture change 25% faster. The rationale is that ports increase exposure to new culture.
I'm not sure yet how balanced this is yet, but I'll modify it if I notice it unbalance anything.

Just unzip the file to your mod-directory and enable the mod. Should be compatible with any mod that doesn't modify events.

I also dislike the fact that culture cannot spread across islands. After all look at how far English culture spread across the world (yes I know that didn't happen until much later). My point being is that culture can spread through exposure which does not necessarily require land.

Thanks for the mod Meneth, now my Irish Empire can expand further!

Fixed an issue making it not work.
It now uses the broken "bring in some settlers" events instead, firing thus as a separate event for cities with ports. MTTH is 1800 (as compared to the other event's MTTH of 1200 months), and all the modifiers are the same, except not giving mongols an advantage any more.

Confirmed to work with 1.04.

I think there's an event that can kick off which turns island-provinces into your culture. At least, I had one as duke of Apulia once. Norman culture spread into Sicily through an event I recieved. Maybe the event isn't just island related, or you may not even consider Sicily an island in the game, heh.

I'll give this mod a try, anyways. Seems interesting. ^^

There's one event that can get culture to unconnected provinces, but it can only fire if the province is of another culture group. As such, the event is very large.
Sicily has a strait over to mainland Italy, so culture can spread through that.

Thanks for mod.

Hi, love the mod.

Is this mod checked against 1.05c? Ever since I upgraded, if I play unmodded I don't get crashes, if I play with mods on (I only use 3 mods - this and 2 others) I get a freeze crash every now and then.

I am absolutely not saying there's a problem with the mod, just seeing if there are any known issues so I can identify which mod(s) to turn off. Thanks!

[Meneth]

This should work fine with 1.05c, yes.

Meneth, as in the other thread, thank you!

There's definitely a historic basis for the spread of culture across the water in this time period. Just look at the Norman/French culture spread into England during this time period. Hell, half of our language comes from or is influenced by France because of William the Bastard.

Is that already possible for Sicily in the vanilla game (most of my games were in continental Europe)? Even conversion of coastal regions is limited by distance, for instance Wales becoming Irish would make more sense (or should take much less time) than Sicily becoming Irish. Back in CK 1 there were trade routes through which cultures could spread. It's a good mod though.

Hey Meneth, is this 1.05f/g compatible?

 

[Meneth]

Hey Meneth, is this 1.05f/g compatible?

Should be, as it only changes a single event file.

 

[SaintEsteban]

Awesome, thank you my man This is a superb idea here, it really bugged me that this never happened in vanilla.

Validator complains about the use of any_neighbor_province in the MTTH modifier section of event 55000:

The version currently up is a bit outdated, but should for the most parts work fine.

 

[duinnin]

How about an updated version?

Done.
I don't have a list of changes lying around though, sorry

You are seriously my hero right now.

My god that was prompt!
