Is culture spread a thing?
Here and there while playing VeF I notice mentions of "culture spread"... I even have an idea that reduces culture spread time by 25%.
And yet, playing as Poland for over 300 years, I haven't noticed any province shift it's culture... not even province that neighbours my capital and has been my core for over 250 years.

So, can anyone say, is culture spread even working? If yes, is there something more I should be looking at to help it happen?

Same thing has happened in my game. Culture shift seems to be completely broken right now, or just that there's no information in game about how the system works.

Bumping this question. I recently began playing this mod and wondered the same. I just spent lots of Admin points to grad the Idea in Centralization group ... but from what say the players above it seems not to work ...
Any answer from modders?

I'm constantly adjusting these numbers (well, every release but with a broken shoulder and a bunch of stuff going on there hasn't been a release in over a month) to find a good balance where the player can have a meaningful effect without a single culture covering a third of Europe by 1600.

For anyone still wondering about the culture spread thing, I looked at the mod files and it looks like culture only spreads if you are NOT an empire. So the only way to convert culture as an empire is displacement or genocide.
