Don't make it required. Just make it so, that for one patch, the button to turn it off is broken and you have to have it on to play. Then fix it later on.

quote:One other problem is that focusing on the role of some women in politics, military, science etc... has the consequence of overlooking the role of women who raised children and were the centerpiece of the traditional family. That is a big problem of feminism, also today : belittling and despising the stay-at-home mothers and wives (who also worked, had an important social role in the community ec...).

No he's right, I can't think of anything that'd improve EU4 more than a 'stay home and bake bread instead' option to every choice.

So with El Dorado, is there anything to allow the Inca to explore without grinding through to ideas the long way? You can get a colonist through religious reforms, but the gist of my current game seems to be "conquer all the local powers, colonize everything, and sit around waiting for reformation rebels and Europeans for a hundred and fifty years".

Is it too late to add an option to the Comet stability event to "burn the witch" if you have a female adviser who's tooltip says that adviser dies without the stab hit, but immediately fires a stab loss event that says you're an idiot, noone knows where to pick up where she left off before her execution? Or are there modding variables to do this later?

You should have plenty of time to tech up to ADM 4 and dump a bunch of points into Exploration. The Euros won't show up until the mid-1500s and you'll need something to do with all those ADM points anyway, plus running three colonists is way better than one!

Which is to say, if you have Protestants in your country and are a Catholic, you should get to just burn one instead of taking a stab hit.Men cannot raise children. Biological fact.

I suppose I should be relatively encouraged, since starting as Cusco is really easy compared to how many tries it took me to get No Trail of Tears without getting stomped by the Europeans.

The inspector general has come back with a finding. Your inspectory loaf had four times the maximum limit of alum, as established by the Panufectory Commission. You do put four times (six times, but who's counting?) the legal limit in your loaves, but not your inspectory loaves! Who could have done such a thing?

Speaking of France: I am thinking of doing a France game on my work computer on lunch breaks for funsies....nothing too serious, but I forget what people have said about doing w/r/t France's starting vassals - once you kick England off of the continent it is wise to release a couple so you can conquer them once the truce wears off, right? This frees up some diplo slots and makes it easier to integrate the ones you keep?

To go back to my colonial problem, it seems like I can't enforce peace against Portuguese Caribbeans. Is there something I have to do? It says Invalid target at the start of the war.

Dibujante posted:e: actually I would kill for "Great Advisors" to have their own lives and pop into and out of various monarchs' courts for ... various reasons. This would be pretty great. Having some advisors that can potentially show up in different countries (with assorted unique modifiers/events and stuff that can kick them out or make them decide to leave of their own accord to go somewhere else) could get some of the CK2 "people are running around doing stuff when you're not looking" vibe without having to revamp the existing system very much.

One thing I've always liked about the current adviser system is that they can potentially be from any culture in your nation, not just your primary, which does a lot to create the illusion that they're actual people drawn from the various parts of your empire and not just generated from a single list of names from one culture somewhere (compare and contrast with, say, Victoria 2 generals and admirals).

That thread is quickly going down the path of them having to close it, as it is getting more and more toxic. Which would only be acceptable if they made a new thread declaring it mandatory content.

Please cause the game to CTD if launched without the women of history dlc activated. Also what's up with all of the changes to allow regiment sizes other than 1000? Is that just for modders, or is it going to be utilized by the base game in some future patch/dlc?
