Primary culture change when forming cultural union

[TheDungen]

Lo folks, as of cossacks we'll be allowed to keep the old ideasgroups when forming a new tag, I was wondering if there could also be an option to change your primary culture to the largest one (most development in your realm) of the culture group when forming a cultural union. Mostly because it happened in reality, Aragon formed spain and became primarily castillian, scotland formed great brittain and became primarly english, it's always a shame when we can't do the things that were done in reality.

Aragon did not form Spain, Castile did. Isabella was a women but it is very clear to everyone who has study that period that she was the one in real command even contemporaries said that the king and her were "truly equals"
Scotland and the UK are a better example of what you are trying to portray.

Well the point remains when cultural unions form they often switch primary cultures soon enough, the Kalmar Union did the same thing, Sweden-Noraway married in as to inherit denmark, and then denmark became the leading memember later becuase it had more people (As well as the king of sweden-norway dying while the queen of denmark lived). Granted not a cultural union but never the less.

Same thing with the PLC, lithuania end up on the polish throne and the results are very polish.

Well, while Scotland got the PU on England, in the end England was actually the one who formed GB....so....yah.

Was it? How can you tell?

Since England became the, mmm, 'Senior' partner of the union, England became the center of the union, the parliament was located in England, the monarchs were located in England.

Was there ever a personal union? I was under the impression it formed Great brittain almost instantaneously when the union happened.

 

[firecage]

Nope. The three crowns of England, Scotland, and Ireland had been in a union for about a 100 years before they became the Kingdom of Great Britain.

 

[TheDungen]

Oh well, then again being able to change the played tag between members in a personal union would perhaps be a solution too.

MMm, I wouldn't say between the tags. More like you should have the once off option of becoming the richer, more powerful, or the larger nation.

Yes of course while in a personal union if a junior partner is stronger than a weaker senior (and the junior is not another player) then they get a decision to become the stronger junior partner and as the same time make it the senior partner.
