Inspired by some recent threads, I choose to write this one. 

[WHY THE CULTURE CHANGE MECHANIC WAS A BAD IDEA], 

[HUMANKIND - IMPROVE IMMERSION OF CULTURE SHIFTING WITH EVENTS THAT EXPLAIN HOW THE SHIFT HAPPENED].

The main problem is that the community feels some culture changes as, a little bit, forced: it complains about how should even be possible to become the Huns, if before you were the Nubians (This problem made me remind the philosophical problem of becoming). Thinking as a solution I thought to give the player some fame "rewards" when changing culture in a situation that might actually explains the reason behind the necessity of such a change.

What about rewarding the player with an amount of Fame when changing culture under some circumstances? The main Idea would be to make advantageous for the player to change culture after a period of instability, here are some possible examples:

• After a Revolution
• After an (extremly) insuccessfull war
• After a population collapse
• when/ after you become a vassal
• When the Cultural/Religious pression of the player suddently decreases significantly
• When you choose to a Religion/Civic too far from your current "ideology"
• When Your "Traditional" Ideology "fails" (is not anymore useful for the situation), and the empire requires a change
• When one of your yield-income, suddently falls apart
