Promote cultural unity removes MY core?

[joefitts63]

Now I am really confused. I am playing Hansa, DW 5.2, no mods. I thought I could use the "Promote cultural unity" provincial decision to remove my erstwhile enemy's core from a province I took from them, leaving MY core there. But when I do it, it removes BOTH cores! Is this right?

Think if you wait until the end of the month your core will reappear again, and this time as the only one in that province.

It seems to actually be a display bug. When I close the province interface completely and then bring it back up, my core magically reappears. Didn't even wait for the end of the month. Strangeness!

Yeah, I have noticed this b4 in some of my games.

I thought it was an end of the month rollover thing, but the page probably just needed refreshed as you have done.

But is it really worth 2 magistrates to get rid of cores from dead nations from 1 province? Outside of being an opportunity to spawn rebels do those foreign zombie cores really affect anything?

Rebels is a 'big' issue, but without cores you can't be forced to release countries when losing a war either. That counts for something I suppose. I personally never bother.

Almost never. The only situation it would be maybe worth it would be removing cores so that you can release a nation as your vassal in a shitty low base tax/poor trade good province to make a bigger sphere, and by extension gain more magistrates.

It was worth it for me because I wanted to keep that province and make the other a vassal. Without removing that core, it wanted to put both provinces into the vassal state.

This is what I use it for, primarily. I generally avoid holding any non-core provinces, and PCU is a helpful tool.

can also be useful if you dont need the magistrates for culture tradition and are in a position where you cant build anything with them (like say lacking tech or space to do so)
