What are the difference between having an accepted culture and the prime culture?

[Rialm]

Is worth it to convert?
Does anything bad happen for having accepted cultures?
Thanks!

Un-accepted cultures give negative modifiers, accepted cultures dont. There is no difference between accepted cultures and your primary culture.

The primary culture is only worth noting when it comes to the culture group its in, because all other cultures in that group get automatically accepted when reaching empire status. Best example would be the germanic culture group, which has a damn lot of different cultures in it and as someone who doesnt belong to the germanic group it can easily become a hassle when going for germanic land.

Okay thanks, I thought there were penalties for having more accepted cultures like in Imperator.

Since I'm playing as Majapahit, in the long run I will convert the most I can, the great project in that land is quite good.

There is really no need to convert as Majapahit. Basically everyone surrounding you is in the Malay culture group, so you can easily annex the whole spice islands, become an empire and all those cultures become accepted automatically.

If i am completely honest, in 3k hours i have never converted cultures unless it was needed for an achievement or something. Its mostly a waste of points. Many campaigns play around annexing your culture group first anyway and later you can just accept the cultures with the most provinces that werent in your culture group.

Like, if i conquer England as France i will accept English as culture but not Cornish or Welsh. There are too few provinces with these cultures that the negative modifiers wont really matter and if i wanted to go OCD then i may change them to English. But it really doesnt matter and really is mostly a waste of diplo points.

That's good to know. The spice must flow.

it might be my Imperator instincts, that I prioritize assimilation than integration. I really hope they scrap all the wonderful features of Imperator and put it in EU5.

Could you explain why you would convert Wales to English instead of France, between the two?

25% culture conversion cost discount for having an adjacent province of that culture (shared sea zone also works). One of my day one moves as England is to spend 22 dip on making Mann Irish so conquering the usual Leinster-Offaly alliance puts me at 20 Irish dev in states so I can accept it before coring to speed the process up...

Oh that's genius.

Why do you want slighty faster coring speed for Ireland though? Can you even reach over 100% if you conquer the entire isle all at once? 🤔

Quicker it's cored, quicker it starts producing real value for you, fewer rebels, less unrest.

The faster you core the faster the overextension goes away, the faster the possibility of rebellion goes away (since OE=global revolt risk), the more trade power you get in off nodes, etc.. Not to mention that Ireland isn't necessarily the only place I'll be expanding in short order, I'm almost always game to go after wrongly held Kalmar lands.
