Culture English?

[Malachi]

Is there the English (or other melting pot) culture in CK3 like there was in CK2?

I ask as the 1066 starts still have the 'England' starts with the Anglo Saxon culture and i'd like to know before I start playing if I am good to pick Dorset or if I should pick a viking to later trigger the melting pot culture.

Thanks.

wiki:

The Anglo-Saxons were a cultural group who inhabited England from the 5th century. They comprised people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, their descendants, and indigenous British groups who adopted many aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language.

That... doesn't relate to the thread. At all. This is all a question of game mechanics.

GodMan I appreciate the reply, however, in CK2 if a 'Norse' ruler owned Frankish, Occitan or Breton provinces then they would have a chance to gain the 'new culture' Norman. Then if a 'Norman' ruler owned land in England (after a certain date) they could become 'English'.

It didn't mean much in terms of games mechanics (other than longbows) but it was something I really enjoyed doing as a 'RP' and 'historical' journey.

Just curious if the same thing exists here as it will sway my decision to start as Norse or A-S.

I mean, Anglo Saxon is still an english culture just named appropriately for the time the game takes place.
I'm by no means an english historian and have little idea of a melting pot terminology, but the best bet would be just fast forwaring the starting date and checking

I think so, yeah.

Official wiki mentions English culture and says that some cultures will split over a certain time period.

In my Norman invasion of England playthrough, I unlocked the decision to change to the English culture. I don't know if it's exclusive to Normans or what but it IS possible to create.

EDIT: The requirements seem to be that you need to hold the Kingdom of England and your Realm Capital needs to be in England.

In the Wiki[ck3.paradoxwikis.com] there is the English tag as well.

Brilliant thank you all for the replies.

FreedomPuppy, do you know if being Norman is also a requirement?

I just did a quick Norwegian invasion of England and I did not get the same option so it seems to be limited to just Norman as far as I'm aware. I will experiment a bit more though.

Thanks to knppel on the official Discord i've been pointed to the wiki that has a page with decision information. So for anyone else who is interested in becoming 'English' the information is on: https://ck3.paradoxwikis.com/Decisions


* Adult
* Own the Kingdom of England title
* Realm capital is in Kingdom of England
* Frankish culture group

Also if you want to become Norman beforehand:

*At peace
* Own and fully control the Duchy of Neustria
* Norse culture
* At least one county de jure part of Duchy of Neustria has French culture
* Norman culture doesn't already exist

Very informative, thanks!
