I'll go into what culture does and how you can use it to your advantage.Ĭulture is an abstract representation of the ethnicity and traditions of the peasantry, and whom nobles identify with. Every culture belongs to a culture group, and is closer to other cultures in the same groups than cultures outside it. Unlike religion, culture has only a minor effect upon the peasantry, most of the effect is instead on your vassals. As culture in Crusader Kings II is in many ways similar to religion, it seems a fitting topic to follow up the installment on religion.
