Lich changes culture on respawn - edge case with changed main culture + Ancestor Worship
Hi, I've come across a weird edge case with lich respawning. I was playing a game as Darkscale, where I changed my main culture to Silver Dwarf and my religion to the dwarven Ancestor Worship. The royal line remained Greenscale Kobold, as I had expected, which meant I had a strong incentive to use Greenscale Kobold advisors.. Eventually, one of my rulers became a mage, and I beelined for Lichdom.

However, after my first respawn, my ruler was spawned as my new main culture. This meant that my advisors all became substantially more expensive overnight.

I'm guessing this isn't intended behavior. If it's possible/feasible to track the culture of the previous ruler(s), that could be a solution. It's really the interplay with the cheaper advisors of ruler culture that makes it truly *mechanically* significant, though.
