Each province produces a certain amount of capitalist, labor and clergy mana each month. When their respective bars are filled you can spend it on new factories, upgrading infrastructure, boosting RGOs, increasing literacy, etc

There was an old DOS game like that. You played a latin American country after overthrowing a dictator and had to balance your reforms so as to not piss off one group of people too much. It was pretty hard to not be assassinated or overthrown by the US.

Ancient societies were a lot more unstable than modern states as a rule. Civil wars upon the monarch's death were more common than not most places. And if not that, then apocalyptic mass peasant revolt like in China.

Koramei posted:E: incidentally if any of you know good maps/lists of cities etc for ancient China that’d be great. I have 3-400 from Western Zhou from my old mod and I’ve found another hundred or so from Qin and Han so far, but scraping 500 in the central plains isn’t gonna go very far if the base game is balanced around having 7,000. I read that the Paradox devs back-“translated” some modern city names into ancient gallic/Germanic-Esque for some regions they needed more cities in so I guess I can do something similarly anachronistic to fill in space but I’d rather not. Uh, how's your Chinese? Because this is probably going to be the gold standard for something like that.

You should probably angle it the other way. There's no need for northern Siberia or Australia to be on the map.

Each building is made up of tiles. You can mix and match them for different adjacency bonuses. How is such a bonus calculated? Well each tile has a base property and associated stats, however you can further tinker it by opening that tile's sphere grid...

I figured you wouldn't want to include Australia since filling it in would be harder than China by a significant margin (seriously, how much do we know about the Aborigine cultures that far back?). But its your mod and if you can do something cool with it, why not?

You should have to expend military points on digging latrines whenever your army stops moving for a day. Otherwise they'll lose men to attrition as the camp diseases build up. /s

TBH I don't really view Mana as a simplification or "dumbing down" of Paradox games mostly because of what they're replacing. EU3's sliders were just as much as an abstraction as Monarch Points are now, as were Agents you sent to build buildings and so on. In terms of simulating real life its a lateral move, while in terms of fun gameplay mechanics its definitely an improvement. Which is also why I don't want a similar power system to replace any of the unique simulation-y stuff if they ever make a V3.

It's perfectly fine for the base version of Imperator to focus mostly on Rome. It looks like they're getting more than enough content out of it to make for a great game, anyways. But man, there's gotta be a Warring States DLC at some point. There's more demand for it than there was India in CK2, anyways, and its less alien to the base gameplay than medieval China is to CK2's feudalism.

Historiography wasn't really an art in India until the Muslim invasions introduced it to the subcontinent. The stuff we see written down from the Mauryan era is mostly religious and philosophical works. These can tell you a lot about a civilization, to be clear, but the kind of high level political stuff Paradox games thrive on, there's not too much. Ashoka the Great ruled one of the largest empires of antiquity but the only contemporary sources of his reign are the pillars he constructed bearing his edicts. There was no Herodotus basically.

I actually agree that you don't need India modelled on map in order to represent their relations with Rome. Trade is almost always highly abstracted in these games anyways. Even for the Diadochi/Greco-Bactrians you really only need northwest India to be on the map. But I'm glad they're putting the whole subcontinent in anyways, since its more and more varied content. I'm one of the people who does India games in CK2, even.

As long as you have some land and an heir you can make plenty of stupid decisions and not lose. Maybe you'll make others mad and they'll kill your character - no matter, that's what an heir is for. If you're conquered, then you have a new boss but now you get to be the annoying, scheming vassal.

Ashoka the Great built paved roads across much of South Asia and mandated rest stops every so many miles. Of course, there might be equivalent tech for other civs, so its prob a moot point.
