Conversions??

[Blathergut]

Does it explain about conversions somewhere in the manual? If not, could someone explain how they work?

Pocus went into it here.

The base is 4%. Then each 100 points of Culture of your own ethnicity is +0.2%. For example a region with 1000 Culture but 75% Celt and 25% Italic has 250 Italic culture only.
Then for each base unrest point of the population considered, lose 20% of this value. An Hellene population has 3 base unrest, so conversion will be time x80% x80% x80%.
Then up or down depending of national modifiers. Say if your value was 5% and you have a ruler giving +20%, then that's a relative percentage, so the end result is 5 x 1.2 = 6% (and not 5 +20 = 25%).

ty...not that I understand the math at all...oiii…

But one more question, and apologies if I should know this but it's been a while and am trying to pick up all the finer nuances of the game again:

Does the game tell me if a pop has been converted?

Yes, there's a notification for it. You might have to adjust the setting to show at least medium priority notifications, though.
