Culture

[Kilkito]

I was just wondering if there is any point in keeping provinces their culture or promoting them to my culture for example I started as duchy of Romagna which starts as Lombard I start as an Italian and converted all of Romagna to Italian. I took over Sicily and Croatia and converted a part of my family to Sicilian and completed "Empower Sicilian Parliament" i've kept all of Sicily Sicilian and some other family members over in Croatia converted to Croatian not sure if there is any major decisions to do as Croatia culture but basically my question at the start is what i'm still wondering if I should promote culture or let them convert to new cultures and if so how does it help keeping these cultures

You, as the highest liege, have two things to consider:

1) Keeping other cultures in your realm allows you to hybridize with them, which gets you all their innovations and allows you to pick and choose which traditions you'd like for a lot cheaper than reforming your culture. If you want to do this, promote acceptance of the culture you want to hybridize with.

2) Your cultural innovation progress is based on the average development of all the counties of that culture. So converting counties with low development will slow your overall progress, but help that particular county.

depend on how u want to play. some people like to paint the map with their culture.

for me i just hybrid as many culture as i can to take in mix the perk and get higher innovation. to add a Tradition cost too much prestige, hybrid get it cheap.

^ I did this. I started as a Bavarian in Augsburg in my a game I still am playing. There was a lot of tension with my 'neighboring' carantanian regions, who are serbo-croats, so while my overliege Karlings were fighting over Francia, I moved eastward and slowly hybridized Bavarian into South-Slavic, become King-Emperor of the South-Slavs, and eventually united them. And my gosh, that region was a tough region to pacify, between the Byzantines, Proto-Hungarians, and Bulgarians--had a lot of fun^^

I do hope a Slavic culture pack gets released in the near future!
Slavs are fun to play in CK3
