Cultural Tensio - for Divide Et Impera

What is it?


This mod increases cultural tension between traditionally antagonistic peoples and repurposes the colonization and conversion system of DeI.
don't expect that your culture becomes dominant just by capturing the settlement and rebuild the buildings. Army’s governors, veterans become more important than before. i tested for 250 turns it and results are that player and AI has to deal more with cultural tension and are expanding much slower .


a few examples:

*Hellenic Genius: Greek Factions are persuasive but unstable. To achieve this I altered the Public Order balance for Hellenic Culture, hopefully to simulate the turbulence of Greek politics. In my test campaigns this has seemed to be the case. Greek culture is irresistible and powerful, as it was nearly everywhere the Greeks colonized. Greek ports and temples spread Hellenic culture.


*Roman Integration: Rome colonizes via arms, farms and fame. The more powerful you become, the faster your conquered regions should integrate. However, some areas will fight Roman rule tooth and nail. Expect near constant rebellion requiring a governorship and military presence to subjugate.

*Barbarian Integration: Barbarian colonizes via temples and buildings, the barbarian factions don't have a unique way colonizes. so there temples and buildings have an increase on culture. keep your armies in the region to stabilize it.

*Reworked Timeline: In 15 test campaigns I've been running it takes roughly (20 years / 60-80 turns) to achieve a 30% culture presence with a semi-compatible culture (i.e. Roman colonizing Greek/Illyrian). After about 20 years the culture will have become majority faction dominant, but again, only with effort.


*Note: This mod does not effect the diplomatic relations between factions of different culture groups. I'll leave it up to the DeI team which already has a great dynamic with their hardcore/softcore submods. Cultural tension only affects internal faction dynamics, the integration process and governance.
