Ah yes, it's so immersive to have two identical cultures differentiated in name only.The purpose is immersion. Not everyone plays the same way you do.
I have to agree with you. There is no point in having more cultures unless they add unique features to them.Ah yes, it's so immersive to have two identical cultures differentiated in name only.
It'd be quite a hard thing to do, to be honest, but also kind of important in a game on such a micro level. A few flavour events here and there would be nice, but if PDS were to make 5 flavour events for every culture, you'd end up with an immense amount of events and a really large amount of work. Having different mechanics for cultures, such as the Norse culture itself having river travel (along with, for example, Russian, though they'd also benefit from a sort of riverboat retinue) would also be nice.I have to agree with you.

A "Unite Islam" decision would definitely appeal to me. Since a Byzantine Emperor can Mend the Schism by controlling certain places and making them Orthodox, I have no reason to believe a similar decision couldn't be made available for Muslim rulers (though I'd want it restricted to Caliphs). For example, if I'm the Sunni Caliph and I control the requisite counties and have made them Sunni, then uniting Islam would make Shia and Ibadi denominations into Sunni heresies. Likewise, Sunni and Ibadi denominations would become Shia heresies if a Shia Caliph controlled the requisite counties, made them Shia, and took the "Unite Islam" decision.
But yeah so as you can see from my 4 points.... what I ultimately want to be able to do in CK2 in short is be a ultimate tyrannical, semi-benevolent Pope/Popess-Emperor/Empress that rules over the CK2 world with my eugenics divine blood harem.
