A culture in the same cultural group as primary culture, holding 15%+ population in cored provinces will become an accepted culture.

Territories/Trade Company regions are ignored.

Accepted cultures are generated by doing a census among country's full/stated EU4 cores.

Accepted cultures coming from EU4 are completely ignored.

Depending on where the capital is, if the primary culture has changed to a neoculture, it will be updated.

Neocultures belong to their original culture's cultural group.

Neocultures are either defined in culture_map.txt (english in northern USA become Yankee), or are dynamically generated (nubian in Brazil become Nubian South American).

New world will always cause non-native cultures to diverge into 'neo-cultures'. Feel free to edit the file if unhappy with results.

Cultures are converted according to culture_map.txt.

Any date post 1815 is generally a solid point for a meaningful Vic2 game, as the first technologies unlock at 1815, and first political parties at 1830.

Converting earlier than 1836 will cause penalties in global literacy levels, so where a country would normally have 60% literacy in 1836, converting in 1000 will see its literacy slashed to 6%.

Conversion-date bookmarks can be quite early, chaining converters from CK2 onward, one can play a 769 game in Vic2 engine, though aside for the novelty that is a horrible idea.

Converted mod supports 2 bookmarks: 1836 and the conversion date.

Without front-end (running the converter manually) or on other OS-es, mod will be exported to converter's output/ folder, and will have to be moved by user.

On Windows, and using the front-end, the mod will be copied to Vic2 installation mod/ directory.

Converter will produce a Victoria 2 mod.

Random New World saves are not supported.

Converter supports compressed save games.

EU4, with or without any expansions or DLCs, versions 1.0-1.32 are supported.

Victoria 2 with both expansions is required.

Do not be shy to hack away and change them so the conversion fits expected goals. These files are there for a reason - so the user can view them and modify them according to specific needs.

Note: The converter includes a configurables/ folder that contains all data files with rules it uses during conversion. For more information feel free to ask for clarifications on forums or take a peek at the code.
