Vivian Darkbloom posted:Minority expulsion is the weirdest drat feature to put as the headliner for this DLC. It's not balanced or historical at all -- I mean all these people seriously don't care that I'm forcibly resettling them 5000 miles away, and there are just infinite Portuguese to flood into the newly vacated spots in Africa? What? Historically, sending minorities off to the new world was kind of a big deal; but the in-game implementation is a bit dull, and maybe too powerful (there is literally no point in NOT doing it except very niche cases) so we're just shipping every wrong culture/religion person in the whole country off to the colonies for 300 years straight, and of course we have 6 billion castilian/portuguese/english people ready to fill up every inch of territory we conquer. I got Golden Century because it's cheap, but honestly the bloat is starting to become too much. I'd love a rework of some mechanics like trade, colonization, PUs, the HRE, Celestial Empire and big empires in general - once you get past 1000 dev and know what you're doing, you basically can't fail anymore unless you gently caress up really, REALLY hard. EU5 when?

Yeah, not a fan of minority expulsion. It should really be some sort of religious decision that gives you +1% conversion speed and triggers New World provinces to convert to minority religions in your country. Shipping all the French catholics in Normandy to Cuba is just... uh...

So I don't know if this is a bug or intentional but if you get a presidential dictatorship as a pirate republic you immediately loss all pirate republic effects and gain normal estates/republic effects. Then if you get out of the dictatorship you cannot regain pirate republic without using the decision again, so it's impossible if you have 7 or more provinces. I just think it's really weird that pirates would immediately organized themselves in to european feudal estates just because one guy became a dictator.

Vivian Darkbloom posted:New dev diary. Discusses EU4 in 2018 and 2019, and admits that Golden Century kinda sucks. You know, FWIW, EU4 and paradox games in general get an astounding level of love and attention post release. If EU4 was being run by, say, Firaxis, we'd have one or maybe two expansion packs by now, and a small handful of patches that fix only the most glaring bugs and issues. I may bitch about it a lot, but that's because I know someone will at least listen. If they didn't listen, I'd just stop playing. So thanks for making and continuing to make a really great game, guys.

Uhh I don't know if I'm the only guy who has this problem but if you misclick a button in any diplo screen by a tiny amount it closes the entire window and every time this happens to me (which is probably several times per hour) I rage at the cruelty of the heavens A small "dead zone" around buttons would be good, if you actually want to close the windows you can just scroll over a few cm into the main play window and click there

All of the HRE Emperor's provinces show up in Imperial colour on the Imperial map mode, regardless of whether they're in the Empire or not. It wasn't this way two or three patches ago, the current state of affairs makes it a royal^H^H^H^H^Himperial pain in the rear end to expand the HRE. (Especially if you're France or the PLC or some other large blob and you mange to usurp the Imperial throne from outside.) Please fix.

I understand how they work, I just want a map overlay so that I can quickly see what provinces an army can reach when I have it selected. - Make it so that I don't have to keep remembering to add new colonies to trade companies. Just like, a checkbox somewhere, maybe the subject interaction screen, that adds every new colony in a charter area to the trade company. - A search field in the achievement window would be really nice. Also a checkbox or something for 'achievements specific to the current nation'. - When you assign diplomats to auto-improve with outraged countries, have them target countries that have slightly negative opinions and then just get their opinions positive. It's a waste of time trying to improve with a -200 country. It's also kind of a waste of time to completely max out relations. I want to first improve with the -50 ones and get them to +1. - Similarly, when auto-improving with subject nations it should pick the one with the lowest opinion first. Makes no sense that it first targets a long standing vassal that already has +200 opinion instead of the newly acquired/released one. - Add a way to see how old generals/admirals are and/or yearly chance of death. - When mousing over an idea group to see the policies, sort the ones that match idea groups I've already taken to the top - Fix the thing where when you load a game the outliner is out of order and you have to toggle colonists, buildings, etc. off then back on to get them back to the normal order - Make the estates outliner, I dunno, better somehow. I want to know when I can do the clicks again. - Make building a bunch of boats smarter. If you click the + button in a fleet it will often only queue boats in the nearest few provinces, so you end up with 10 boats being built in 1 or 2 provinces instead of 1 boat in each of 10 provinces. - Similarly, when you click to build an army template it will sometimes queue up one of the regiments in a province that's already working on a boat. It should skip coastal provinces entirely if possible, and avoid provinces that are building boats for sure. That's all I can think of for now!

I understand how they work, I just want a map overlay so that I can quickly see what provinces an army can reach when I have it selected. HUGE agree on both of these. My intuition re: forts is that you could do it with something like a four-color (or more, if that would look ugly) map of all Areas in the world. No fort, the Area is gray; active fort, it's colored in; mothballed fort, it's striped. Not sure how obvious that would make the actual movement restrictions, though.

I would love it if there was an easier way to reassign land from each estate en masse to take away lower autonomy land and give them higher autonomy provinces. aqu fucked around with this message at 23:20 on Dec 19, 2018 |

Here's a few things I've mentioned before. Adding all these up and showing the total yearly change in relations would be really helpful.  Frabricating claims would be a lot less tedious if this window showed me more information, most importantly the development for each province (since that's usually the only thing that matters for forging claims). Also it would be really nice if we could go back to how forging claims used to work, where you picked a province and it forged the claim and stopped when it was done. The way it is now requires a lot of diplomat babysitting.  The macro builder for trade buildings doesn't show very useful information. The trade goods column is useless, the estate column is mostly useless, and the increase in trade power is mostly useless. What would be much more useful: autonomy, what trade node the province is in (maybe an icon for whether I'm collecting or steering or doing nothing in that node too), and how much trade value I currently control in that node (possibly with the calculated increase in controlled trade value with the marketplace, kind of like the tooltip for trade ships). Right now it's really hard to evaluate the cost/benefit of trade buildings. And in general it would be great if the trade value calculation for trade ships was included in other tooltips, like for building manufactories and increasing base production. It doesn't have to be perfect, but having a rough estimate there would help a lot.  Along similar lines, showing how much trade value I control in each node would be helpful. Right now it just shows how much I'm collecting, if I'm collecting, which is basically the same thing. The trade node window shows me that value, but it would be nice to have it on the map as well.  Parliament needs some work. I'd like to be able to sort by type of demands here. Also there's no easy way to assign parliament seats efficiently. Ideally, you want to make your highest development provinces to be seats, so you have to go through the list one by one until you find one that's not already a seat or isn't controlled by an estate. It's such a hassle that I usually just let the AI do it. That's about all I can think of for now. Thanks for listening. Fister Roboto fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Dec 20, 2018 |

When shopping for a suitable vassal it's nice to know where they have cores you can reconquer for them. This is rather easy to find out for currently existing nations. Just click on one of their provinces while in diplomatic mode: It's not so easy if you're looking to resurrect a dead tag. You have to click around on all the nearby provinces and look for the greyed out shield of the country in question. It can be hard to get a good overview and if the cores are not contiguous you're likely to miss a few.  Would it be possible to make it so that clicking on one of those greyed out shields put you in diplomatic map mode from their perspective? It would be a big help.

No they don't, it was a unique design decision but sometimes you have to make bold choices.Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:Scalable UI I'm pretty certain this is a way harder thing to add than most people asking for it realize. It's not just a few weeks spent programming in UI scaling sort of deal, they'd have to straight up redraw the entire thing. I'm pretty sure (for EU4; I think for the newer games it's different) it's all drawn at a fixed resolution, and one that's one that's...smaller than would look good upscaled (at least some of the parts I made are!), unless you're okay with things being fuzzy as hell as long as they're bigger. And there's literally thousands and thousands of icons and poo poo now. I guess it's not like it's impossible, but are high dpi monitors even that much of the market yet? I thought it's something like less than 2%.

Family Values posted:A list of really good suggestions In addition to these, I would add - A way to see a government modifiers for other nations. Occasionally, a situation will pop up where I need to know how long some modifier on a subject/rival nation will last, and (as far as I know), there is no way to do it. If it is already in the game, it would be nice for it to be easier to get to, since googling got me nowhere. - A tooltip in the declare war screen that shows how long at the flat rate it will be before you can call allies into the war. It is tedious to have to go to each allied country, switch to the tab with trust/favors, and then see how fast it is growing.
