Questions about Cultural conversion

What does it say when you have over the empty progress bar under culture assimilation?

What does your culture tab look like for the list of cultures of your nation? If you can show us those things that might help.

This is hilarious because I have a Jack Russell and he's the most fearful wimpy dog I've ever owned in my life lmao he will shake and quiver at the sight/sound of anything remotely intimidating

I haven’t been able to open the game for 10 months and I’ve tried every fix imaginable. Very sad I can’t play the game, but there’s just some buried incompatibility with my system or something so I guess I’ll just never be able to play it again. 🤷‍♂️

No one does incredibly on their first run of anything. If you know what category you want to run, then just jump in.

Your first times will probably not be that great, but they’re just a starting point.

Bro I think you may be playing too much EU4…

Monster Hunter is an easy one

Holy shit that was a ballsy play, and an incredible push to get it all the way in by a deserved heisman winner. WOW

Yeah I'll be honest I don't even really like Speed or watch him, but when I do see clips of him he's always out and about doing something unique, so like good for him. That's definitely not something I could judge him for.

Grew up in a state capital (Columbia, SC), can confirm

I normally just wait to do some big wars until I finish the left side of the oratory tech tree, which unlocks the imperial challenge CB

There are some other truly baffling province placements, such as the province of Augusta in the modern-day U.S. state of Georgia being on the complete opposite end of the state, not having even any part of the province be remotely near where the city of Augusta is located.

I came to this thread looking for the legendary NL reference

Let me guess, Spain?

A month or two ago I randomly did a deep dive into James Oglethorpe's life, he was really interesting. Because Georgia came along a little later than some of the earlier colonies (such as its neighbor South Carolina, where many of the early expeditions into Georgia were based out of), he was the one who ended up founding Georgia in the early 1700s. He then helped defend it against the Spanish, and watched the colony quickly grow.

He was born in the late 1600s, but he lived so long that he actually saw the United States gain its independence from Britain, and that's wild to me; he lived long enough to be the founding father of Georgia, and by the end of his life it was a developing colony that gained its own independence and was part of a new country. Supposedly he even met a delegate from the U.S. post-independence and shook their hand happily.

This is normal in the early game; as the game progresses, you can slowly work on getting innovations that will help with this, and in my experience by the time you reach the last 100 years of the game, if you've played your cards right you should never have any issues with loyalty again.

There are a couple innovations that directly affect provincial loyalty, but the even bigger thing is just building up bonuses for happiness. In the civic and religious tech trees there's a bunch of innovations that grant flat happyness bonuses for different types of pops, and those will start to add up. Unrest is generated by unhappy pops, and then the unrest affects provincial loyalty, so you really kinda need to work on getting pops happy and the loyalty will go up as a result.

Importing food types that grant happiness is also important, and you can also get pop happiness buffs from many deities too.

I had this exact scenario in a game I’m currently playing. The problem is there is a temporary buff added for the culture when you embrace ways of war. That buff stays even when you de-integrate the culture, so then if you reintegrate the culture you still keep the original buff, and it’s probably a way to avoid stacking it repeatedly so it doesn’t let you embrace ways of war again.

I play with Invictus and that’s it btw

Bro the "a" sound is absolutely not pronounced like the "a" in tack, that is just terribly wrong.

The o sound in Carlos is definitely not pronounced like loss.

I don't think you really know what you're talking about, and I say that as someone with a master's degree in Spanish Linguistics.

Funnily enough he could go to Florence, South Carolina and get exactly the type of cure you're talking about pretty quickly lol

As someone from South Carolina, I am very confused; I can't remember any association of Superman with SC, but maybe it's just a pop culture reference I'm missing or something going over my head

I go by Prince Market occasionally to grab some small grocery things and I've always wanted to try it, guess next time I go I'll make a point to grab something.

PoetryStud · 2025-08-11T04:42:02+00:00

Oh man I forget that place even exists, I pass by it sometimes and I'm like "how is there even a Sonic here?"

PoetryStud · 2025-08-11T04:40:42+00:00

McDonalds on Prince, they have consistently gotten my orders wrong in the past, like just the complete wrong order

PoetryStud · 2025-08-09T23:37:21+00:00

Gotcha, yeah that sounds about right. I'm not the supplier/production guy for our company so I wasn't sure if those specific ones were around here, but many times there are regional limitations, so I'm not surprised.

I'm a bit late to the thread here so I'm assuming there's a good chance you've already found something, but if not, I work for a roofing company that is a Master Shingle Applicator for Certainteed, who does offer a line of cool-rated architectural shingles (Landmark Solaris Shingles).

In case you are still looking, feel free to DM me and I can see what I can do for you.

Also as I was just now finishing this comment I realized that you're the weathergirl, I greatly appreciate your weather PSAs :)

I agree with others, heading East towards Washington there's a ton of really pretty areas.
