Dynamic cultures and stuff

[MordredDerby]

Apparently this part of the mod seems dead, so I tried to make some ad-hoc solutions, maybe you'll make use of them:

-Nasrani culture formation from baptized Indian provinces
-"Passive" spread of Islam during Prophet's reign
-Non-zealot arabian rulers can submit to the Prophet if he holds
e_arabia (avoid gazillion wars with OPMs)
-Bedouin arabic unification through islamization
-Aquitani integration under reformed/non-pagan basque king
-Slavic split and melting pot events
-No Russian culture before 800
-Slavs can assimilate faster before 1000 (kinda arbitrary)
-Provinces abandoned during migrations are now easier to assimilate
-New Eranshahr icon
No localisation yet

Thank you for sharing this and launching the discussion on subjects you felt were lacking! 😄

• The Nasrani culture is an interesting element in the mod, as it is both a trait and a culture.
• On the rise and spread of Islam, the reason for why it isn't in development or expanded upon on the GitHub is because the current material relating to it was only a beta-test and it will scrapped in favour of a new version developed by @EmperorEnlil. With this in mind, us adding content in relation to something which is getting removed soon didn't feel worthwhile.
• Interesting on the Aquitani integration, that was not something we had considered! Although we did transform the Basque culture into Vascon with the intent of allowing the two to become Basque.
• Slavic melting-pots are covered by an event chain which is currently disabled. I don't know if you noticed it or not while looking through the files, but it can be found here: https://github.com/loup99/WtWSMS/blob/master/WTWSMS/events/WtWSMS_migration_events.txt#L355
• I would probably disable the East Slavic -> Russian transition entirely while waiting for the above to be done, just as the Pictish event should probably be modified too.
• Concerning the addition to migration, on the long-term it would make sense to have events that can portray waves of arrivals, so that the culture shift can happen progressively.
• I like the suggested icon for the Eranshahr government a lot graphically, but just like the current one it contrasts a lot with the other existant government icons, and it is a bit too similar of the flag and dynasty CoA for the Sassanids and Persia.

@MordredDerby On the Slavic changes, I will comment on them when #401 is done. I also have work on the Slavic split-up in mind.
