Assimilation Rework

Fixes rampant assimilation and introduces new criteria in general.

1.8.4 the changes to acceptance levels aswell as the right choice to no longer hard gap assimilation by homelands has lead to an unbalanced situation where 20 years after the start half of India is British with 4x as many British (Indians) existing in India than in England proper. This applies to other Empires like Austria and Russia aswell.

So this mod introdues a separate mechanic for assimilation that applies buff or debuffs based on proximity between cultures, state incorporation and so on and so on.

You can find a detail breakdown and examples as to how strong the assimilation will be over 100 years in the linked picture below:

- Left side are criteria that apply a modifer to the vanilla base rate of 0.2% per month
- Next to that are examples of how these modifiers affect pops in different scenarios around the world
- Below the examples you find how much of an example pop is converted in 100 years (1200 monthly ticks)
- The graph below is a graphical representation of the formula used and an inverse of assimilation as it displays how many % of a pop are left after x monthly ticks

Modifiers not in the picture:
- Literacy of a pop below 30% applies a 50% debuff to the rate while > 70% applies a 50% buff.

Honorable mentions:
- also fixes slaves assimilating into primaries
- t1 and t5 acceptance are no longer excluded from assimilation

- make same heritage required for any assimilation to happen to a pop (default off)
- allow smaller share primary culturs to assimilate into the bigger one (default off)
- block T5 cultures in homelands from assimilating (default off)

- you should be able to add this mod on the fly (which will apply default rules however)
- removal should also be possible and then vanilla assimilation mechanics will take over again

- the vanilla define for assimilation is set to 0 as this mod works with a parallel system
- Vanilla assimilation modifiers like from the decree or public schools are applied at the end and therefore sill benefical to do

Enjoy!
