Now if you'll just give me all that useless absolutism, we'll- Wait come back! It's consistent and morally right!

I have 300 hours and I've never had a ruler with a six in any stat except playing as Prussia with military. But yeah for a game that takes place when the idea of nation states and democracy is developing they put way too much emphasis on a randomly generated dude. I usually don't like when they give bonuses to your rulers final stats, but perhaps in eu5 they could expand on that. Cap a rulers stats at like two so he can still have an effect but it's lessend and then have different government types confer different bonuses. Hordes and absolute monarchy would get bonus military power. Republics Diplo and so on. You could even change the bonus on a per party basis in republics giving them greater flexibility in exchange for having to manage party politics. Development should also happen naturally and over time. Bring in a simplified pop system make estates more similar to Meiou and taxes. End the game earlier so Vicky three starts earlier. Never try and make an expansion to fix China. Allow you to reverse trade nodes so everything doesn't always flow to Amsterdam. Raise coring costs significantly. Make it take longer and make autonomy a more significant mechanic. Put edicts in the outliner.

Disinheritance is a cool concept but totally broke MP functionally. I haven't had a game where I wasn't forever at/ahead on tech after about 1550 since Rights of Man came out. Normally there's enough left over to waste on developing, even, although personally I don't enjoy going mad on conquering so that helps a bit.

Republics definitely need some beefing up. How about we add a new, extremely powerful modifier that you can slowly build up? We could call it democraticness.

double nine posted:kingons/queons vs republicons. I misread at that "klingons" and then I suddenly realized what EU4 is missing: An alien invasion DLC as the counterpart to CK2's Sunset Invasion. Make them technologically advanced aliens but terrible at war (negative army tradition, increased attrition under all circumstances, etc) for a thing like the Worldwar books.

Lawman 0 posted:How do you guys manage development in large empires? Usually not at all. The only time I ever develop, regardless of my country's size, is if I'm seeding an institution, or if I'm about to hit the MP cap and have nothing else to spend it on, in which case I just develop in the cheapest province. Developing is just too expensive. Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Feb 8, 2018 |

Developing can sometimes be useful early on in a weaker start to get yourself to a reasonably powerful level to get going, though loans will often work just fine for that.

the only time i develop outside of institutions is when i hit the mil point cap. and then i just open the dev macro and sort by what gives the most manpower for lowest cost

What do you all do once you've vassalized your majority of HRE elector princes and become emperor? Do you just release them leaving them pissed off, do you annex them leaving everyone pissed off, or do you just let them stay your vassals leaving a draining imperial authority? I'm playing as Saxony and Austria actually managed 4 reforms by 1550, so my plans quickly changed from conquer all neighbors to just gunning for revoke the privileges.

Ok, this is complete loving crock of poo poo: I am the sole loving nation in THE WORLD as far as I know with a real colonial nation (thanks random new world) but because my capital isn't coastal I not only did not spawn the institution, I am not getting any growth of it at all! This is such utter loving bullshit! The goddamn printing press has just spawned and I'm gonna lag even further behind now because some retard thinks Colonialism can't happen if your capital doesn't happen to be next to the Ocean! Well known non-Colonial Empire France wouldn't get it except that all the Europeans get it ~just because~

And be sure you’re using the state edict for reduced dev cost (don’t forget to turn it off next year!) and have happy burghers if you can get them.

If you have a colonial nation in the New World, you should get growth in all of your coastal provinces, as well as your capitol whether it's coastal or not. Is your colonial nation Australia? Because that doesn't count.

Also I don't have Cossacks because it wasn't on sale in the Humble Store so don't have estates or uhh, whatever gives edicts. That's the China one? I watched a video by Reman about maximizing this poo poo a while back but yeah, I'm probably gonna do it in Egypt or something; don't have a lot of Farmlands or Cloth provinces

How the gently caress is the Papacy's fleets of transports and Light ships completely clowning on my fleets of Heavy Ships? I've lost forty heavies to them losing like five Lights, across four battles where I had ten Heavies in my fleet and they have ppbbbt 17 Lights and 50 transports? edit: LOL and now they are going around sinking 100% of my 1x Heavy 25x Lightship fleets with the same 17 lightships of their own
