Only one center of reformation left in the world at least. they need to be a republic, but not a merchant republic. stack your diplomatic reputation bonusses, give them money, imperial grace, make sure they are in the empire Once you can create client states in the later game it's really easy to create them, before that the north italian minors are probably your best bet

I spent ages agonizing over what my second idea group should be as Switzerland. But since I was deciding between diplomatic groups at least exploration and maritime were easy to discard. The latter more than usual.

dev diary posted:The Mughal Diwan will give the empire a bureaucracy capable of integrating the vast swaths of lands that lie before it. The reform mechanic replaces the promotion of cultures to one where the nation integrates a culture by assimilating it into its government. Assimilation of a culture happens when the nation have conquered every single province of that culture and that will make that culture a permanently accepted culture of the country. timurids -> mughals is already insanely easy and bonkers, gonna be buck wild to have automatic permanently accepted cultures that give bonii

Apparently every culture in the world will give a bonus?! quote:Which culture groups give bonuses when assimilated? Just the Indian ones or all of them? Because, for some reason, the Tibetan group does not display a bonus, while the others (found on Indian peninsula) do. Groogy posted:All of them are planned to give, this is work in progress and what you see is essentially just placeholder modifiers for now. That ought to be.... absurd.

All this India stuff is a new DLC right? Looking at the dev diaries they just keep calling it patch 1.26 so hard to tell what's the free stuff and what's the pay. edit: It'd be cool if assimilation was linked with humanism somehow?

Lance of Llanwyln posted:Lots. Mali, Kilwa, Kongo, Kuba, Butua, and Kaffa all have achievements tied to them, as do the three that start next to Lake Victoria, the Nubian culture states, and Somali culture states, if you care about that. Generally, wherever you start in Africa, you have lots of opportunities for expansion, but it can be difficult to keep up on Institutions, and, as you already know, East Africans will probably have to deal to with the Ottomans at some point. After some 3 awesome Ethiopia games ruined by Ottomans, yeah, I'm spending some time on the other side of the continent from them.

I think it could follow the example of the Ottoman and Tsardom governments where it's only available for one period-accurate example and one weird alt-history variant. Mughals and from a "reform the Maurya Empire" decision, or for Bharat/Hindustan. Or make it the last idea in an idea group?

Hey Groogy, is there any way you guys can make it so that army/navy templates are shared between all games rather than being specific to individual runs? I don’t know how other people use them, but I rarely vary the templates I use from nation to nation so I’d appreciate if I didn’t have to set them up anew every game.

is the mamluk government good. i'm about to finish them off and the 50% chance of a 6 admin ruler sounds good. also why would you not go with a circassian ruler, who is 100 legit and 15 army tradition e: oh because the ruler's culture does button stuff oddium fucked around with this message at 15:45 on May 16, 2018 |

Having your army tradition basically always be skyhigh is amazing.

Yep ignore the mana bar, pick the Circassia dude every time. I've not played them since the mission revamp but I assume they're still a top tier start. They've been since CoC.

Groogy posted:More like the reason being: If everyone has special stuff then nobody is special. Uh yeah, no poo poo. I'm asking why this mechanic has to be special to only one country. Like I'd be fine if it was a lengthier or more expensive process for other countries, or maybe have a high tech or idea group requirement, but I think it's pretty dumb that only the Mughals can do it for no other reason than they're the Mughals.

James Garfield posted:At the same time this definitely wouldn't be the first time a country gets bonuses just for having a certain tag That's kind of what we're complaining about. Instead of streamlined generic new mechanics you get good ideas which are contorted into being nation-specific for tenuous reasons.

But being able to integrate or assimilate other cultures into your own is something I've wanted for quite a while, and to see that ability being given to only one specific country makes me kind of upset.

It kind of sucks, yeah, especially considering that culture switching provinces is pretty expensive and I almost never bother with it, I'd rather add dip development to get more sweet trade bucks if I really don't know what to do with the dip points. I am sure there's an edge case or three to do it, but eeeeeh it never feels meaningful.
