What are people's current thoughts on culture bonuses after an extended period of time with them?
Rule Battania, Battania rule the woods.
Unless I'm creating a specific type of RP playthrough; A Mongol Hoard, or Viking Invasion type of thing, I always just pick Battanian now. No matter what the other bonuses are, with so much of the map having trees, being able to escape or catch otherwise faster armies is just too good to pass up. So I'd say they are slightly OP since I almost always pick them. Speed seems to be more important than saving or making money since you will get to a point were money is easy. Money perks help in the early game, speed lasts forever.What are people's current thoughts on culture bonuses after an extended period of time with them?

Negligible for positives, the negatives are unbalancing for AI, situational for players and push you towards cheesing the game.Haven't tried Khuzait at all but it looks negligible. But they have Khan's Guard so whatever.
Sounds like the Perks TeamIt is like someone took aim, with laser-guided precision, on the right mix of bonuses and penalties that would be the worst possible combination of not interesting, discouraging intended gameplay and bad for the game world.
I used to chose mostly between Vlandia and Battania before this change. Now it's only Battania or Aserai depending if i want to be a warrior or take a more pacifist approach with trading and stuff. I kind of think that the new bonuses are actually worse than before, well aside Battania and Aserai that are better but still feel they should be even more than now.I mostly played Battania and Empire and Khuzait for their bonuses, from 160 there is only one pick Battania.
Yeah, but it's pretty fast and easy to fill up on 100 of thier noble troops now in 1.6.1, even with other culture (I think only matters with combat tips perk?) and without save re-load for forced recruit. There's enough in the first slots that just normal recruiting and normal forced recruit gets you enough. IME more then 80-100 is over kill and expensive.But they have Khan's Guard so whatever.
