How to change Primary Culture

[Xonox 子格]

Playing as Paraguay i hv 50% guarani and 46% White/Caucasian or 'Platinean' i was wondering how i could switch 'allegiances' to guarani

[Lembley42]

You can boost up cultural assimilation by having a goverment in place that has 'Full Citizenship' policy. It's still not fast or anything

[Xonox 子格]

No i dont think you understood my question how do you tell what is your 'PRIMARY' culture that means the one you try to assimilate the minorities too i think the primary at the moment is platinean but i want to switch to guarani and assimilate the platineans but i dont know how too

[koolman69]

u cant

[sausages]

Yup, you can't switch primary culture and what Lembley did was offering you an alternative.

The explenation is:
the primary and accepted cultures are hard coded to each country. You may only change this with modding.

[Lembley42]

(and with certain decisions, like "Form Austria-Hungary" as Austria)

copy paste from somewhere else, worked for me:
Go the the game folder ../Victoria 2/history/countries and change the accepted/primary cultures in the files there. You get the game's internal culture names from ../Victoria 2/common/cultures.txt.

an example:
i want to play Persia, cheat a lot, and become and liberal and social country that frees all the arab neighbour people from enslavement by osman empire. but i dont want them to be pissed when living under my regime, so i changed the persia file from:

primary_culture = persian
culture = azerbaijani
culture = baluchi

to

primary_culture = persian
culture = azerbaijani
culture = baluchi
culture = bedouin
culture = misri
culture = maghrebi
culture = mashriqi

Thanks for digging up a two year old thread I guess?

[Pezehgehmer]

why not? did it loose its relevance?

[WhatWillTheNextDowndateBring?]

Asking if something inactive for over two years has lost it's relevance, wow, I think I'll just let you try and probably fail to work that one out.

[Pezehgehmer]

well, i wonder how it bothers you that much. but imagine: there a lot of players who are not checking out the recent discussions on the board but google for specific questions. that's how they reach threads like that and then maybe they are happy when they get answers. i am so sorry if the board is now totally messed up because i answered to an old thread. hope your day isnt totally ruined.

You do realize I said "thanks", right? I literally opened with it, saying thanks is bad now in 2017?

richy has sometimes some trouble communicating with people. Don't mind that, he's just trying to help.

Before this ends up as in yet another fight thread.
