Starting colonies...Culture...

[unmerged(145825)]

Colonial cities which were colonies at game start will never change culture (when ownership changes) no matter where they are in the world... right?

Cant seem to remember exactly...

I stole some colonies (then built them up) and am considering losing them for a short while to lower BB, but dont want to do it if the culture will revert back to those receiving the provinces.

Any colony will change culture when a new colonist is sent to it, as long as the new colonist doesn't put it over 1000 population.

Any colonial city will change to its owner's primary culture once nationalism dies out, as long as it is not in Europe (defined by culture_change = yes/no in Db\Map\geography.txt).

I think there must be some exemptions for this, I just ran a small test, I gained 3 Egyptian colonies early on, Sinai, Qattara and Faiyum and built them out (Waktaboi mod) (They were colonies at game start). I just gave them back and there is no nationalism due to them having cores on these provinces... my culture stayed, even after reloading.

Sorry, yeah, it's the 30-year timer regardless of whether there's actual nationalism revolt risk.
