E.G., creating the empire of Italia as the HRE will cause the Italian vassals to lose allegiance to the HRE - Creating a title will now cause vassals dejure under it to lose title allegiance if their allegiance is to a title of the same tier.- Courtiers you have a kid with are now slightly more likely to stick around.This means no more creating a kingdom where all the vassals will go with another title - Confederate Partition now ignores land held by vassals with title allegiance when there's titles with their own separate succession (E.G., elective titles, titles with their own gender laws).- The Piety hit from being below desired spouses has been doubled.The numbers are: Baron/Count wants one, Dukes two, Kings three, and Emperors four. The Piety penalty only triggers if they are below desired spouses. - Clan rulers now desire fewer spouses the lower their tier is.- Cities and Temples now follow the same cost scale as Castles.- Building a new Temple now gives much more piety, you can't do it too often anyways.Only from within your dynasty for Disinherited The Castrated, Bastard, and Disinherited traits still block claim inheritance. - Being unable to inherit titles no longer blocks claim inheritance.- A woman being close to the fertility cutoff cap (3 years) now gives the 'Low Fertility' marriage penalty.Sometimes the ruler will later change their own to match it, but that's not a guarantee and with the time it takes to complete it isn't something that can be used all the time. The main advantage of doing this is to reduce the penalty with peasant factions and hardly seems worth it. This will change the County culture to your own, but have no effect on the ruler. You can use the Council Action Promote Culture. The final way handles things differently and is possibly the most pointless.

As a side note, this can also be used to convert Faith.

What this means is that you get the chance for the next ruler to be the culture of their Guardian. If you can convince your Vassal to hand over their heir as your ward (or the ward of anyone in your court) you can tick the box to begin a culture conversion.

This isn't always easy to achieve peacefully, so look for opportunities to arrest those you want out of the way, as sometimes this will give you the right to revoke the title without tyranny.Ī secondary way of changing the culture of a ruler is through Guardianship. If you want to remove the malus from having a Vassal raised in a different society, you can simply remove them and grant the title to someone of your own background. There are several ways to change culture, and we'll start with the most basic one we've already mentioned.
