I never liked the culture-converion mechanics. Talking to a friend, after reading another topic here in the forums, I though of some alternatives:
1. After 50 years cored and controlled, a progress bar starts. Speeding varying according to Diplomatic Reputation, Distance to Capital, Local Autonomy and Accepted Culture Threshold. It would be similar to the "de jure" mechanics of occupation in CK2 (that case is 100 years). If main country of that culture still "alive", the speed progress bar is doubled (i.e. 100 years).
2. You can speed things up with 3 options:
a) Mandatory Adaptation: spend X ADM points to enforce "new-citizenzship". Inspired in the "new christian laws" of Spain and Portugal in the XVI century. To quickly assimilate them, and forbids the expression of foreign culture (sephardin judaism and morrish islamism).
b) Mass Deportations: spend X DIP points to spread the target population among your provinces. Chance of perma-loosing 1 BT, and increases local and national unrest for a while. Bonus if you have colonies to deport your "trouble-makers". This "tool" was used by many countries to alter the ethnicity and conform conquered lands into their wishes, and some countries did this a lot in the time-frame of the game (UK with its colonies and Ottomans in its conquered lands).
c) Purge: spend X MIL points to, well... purge the local foreigners, speeding the progress bar. Massive BT penalty for a while, giving causus belli to all countries with that culture as main cultre. Penalty to relations with bordering countries: "Oppressing Minorities". Purge of minorities - unfortunately - was a real tool during the time-frame of the game and it would be a nice tool to have in game.
What you guys think? I'm sure it needs improvement.
