Across the globe, there are thousands upon thousands of different cultures that are composed of individuals with regionally appreciated values, opinions, and ways of life. While Crusader Kings 3 is extremely detailed and complex, there is nowhere near this number of cultures in the game.

Despite this being the case, there are still dozens of different cultures that players can experience through their character, though, sometimes one's culture can change, either willfully or as a result of some great paradigm shift. Knowing about one's own culture and that of one's neighboring lords is essential for conquering and ruling successfully, as there are many mechanics revolving around them.

Culture in the game, much like in real life, is composed of the languages, local customs, and technological methods of a particular population. Additionally, there are different cultural groups as well, meaning that a few different cultures can belong to the same group, and, as a result, people dislike each other less than those of completely foreign cultures and cultural groups.

• Same cultural group & same culture: No opinion change
• Same cultural group & different culture: -5 opinion
• Different cultural group & different culture: -15 opinion

Rulers will have an easier time managing a realm full of people who share the same culture and culture group. This is primarily because people will be able to relate to and trust an individual who upholds the same values as the common folk. It is especially important to make sure that all of one's vassals are the same culture and cultural group if one wants a smoother, less revolt-ready rule.

Once in a character's life, the player can choose to convert to the local culture if they are not already part of it. On the vertical menu bar on the right side of the screen, near the top, there is a brown icon that looks like a quill and bottle of ink. To reach the "Convert to local culture" decision, click this button to open up this small menu and take action. The minor decision to "Have the realm embrace local traditions" is also available through this tab and will allow players to convert their entire realm.

Landed characters who possess a court can take important actions while ruling their lands in the form of many specific major decisions that only appear if the player meets one of the more significant requirements to make them. There are 4 major decisions that can be taken to change one's culture to that of a specific group.

• Embrace English Culture (Adopt English Culture)

- Must be an adult- Must own the Kingdom of England title- Must have one's capital in the Kingdom of England- Must be of the Frankish culture group

• Embrace Outremer Culture (Adopt Outremer Culture)

- Must be of the Frankish culture group- Character or liege must be of a Christian faith- Must form the Outremer Empire decision- Must have one's capital is in the region of Africa, the Middle-East, or Persia- Must possess or have a liege that possesses the Empire of Outremer title

• Establish Norman Culture (Adopt Norman Culture)

- Must be at peace- Must own and fully control the Duchy of Neustria- Must be of the Norse culture group- Must have at least one county de jure part of the Duchy of Neustria that has French culture- Norman culture must not exist

• Unify the Burgundies (Adopt Occitan Culture)

- Must be an adult- Must be at peace- Must have capital in the region of Burgundy- Must control the region of Burgundy- Liege must own the Holy Roman Empire, Empire of Francia, or Kingdom of France title- Level of Fame is at least Illustrious

On occasion, populist factions can rise up and become a problem if the population of one's lands does not match that of the ruler, and, if such a faction defeats the player in battle, they can demand their liege's cultural (and sometimes faith) conversion.

If the player has the power to do so, they can assign a child (either themselves, their heir, or other kids) to a guardian of a different culture. While doing so, one can select the "Convert culture" option when setting up the new ward and guardian relationship.

The most tried and true method of converting decent chunks of the population at a time is to utilize one's steward. In the Council menu, take note of the 3 icons in the portrait of one's active steward to find the one that looks like the top of a lit candle. This button is to get one's steward to perform the Promote Culture action in the county that one can select after clicking the small candle button.
