Is there a way you can modify the bonuses gained from tech level to reduce colonial maintenance costs? If you were to add a -1% cost modifier to every government tech level starting from 10 at the start of the game you will still be paying full price for colonies, but as the government becomes more efficient the cost of colonies goes down.

I say we vote B. I can't wait to see the look of embarrassment on Armenia's face when they see how tolerant we are of their faith.

I vote for A.

All the benefits of the other two choices are useless if we don't have any men to send to the battlefield, and getting a leg up on land research will help us against our western rivals.

Government: Administrative Monarchy A
Idea: National Banks B

The choice between the Engineer Corps and National Bank ideas was a close one, but once Wiz told how much inflation we were gaining that tipped the balance.

srsly guys with our patron of the arts NI we shouldn't have any trouble recruiting a 5 or 6 star master of mint if inflation ever becomes a problem

You have to remember that Wiz changed it so when you recruit an adviser you lose all your cultural tradition.

So how are the Polish armies doing right now, are they up for defending their favorite Muslim ally from a rampaging bear?



For now I vote for the Bill of Rights, but if looks like our relations with allied nations are low I might change my vote.

Although tolerance is our goal, we must remember there are other lands who seek to destroy us. Only once they are placated or removed can we focus inwards.

There is no way option A could accomplish either of those things. We can not stop Russia from declaring war on us, and slightly improving our diplomatic skill will not help us in the war.

The answer to that is that the people participating usually DIDN'T have a clue what the hell was going on. They were generally working off misconceptions, false assumptions, rumors, appearances, revisionist history, vague memories, and the occasional outright falsehood. There's a reason why Crete was so badly run.

The funny thing is if you didn't mention Crete at all I would have thought you were talking about real life politics.

I know I don't know everything about the mechanics of EU3, but isn't National Trade Policy way better than Shrewd Commerce Practices in this mod? If I remember correctly each percent of trade efficiency gives you half a percent of compete chance and merchant placement chance, so the actual total is:

Shrewd Commerce / Trade Policy
Efficiency: 5% / %15
Effective Merchant Chance: 7.5% / 7.5%
Effective Compete Chance: 7.5% / 7.5%
Trade Tech Cost: 0% / -10%

There is nothing that Shrewd Commerce Practices does that National Trade Policy doesn't do equally or better, and National Trade Policy reduces the tech cost on top of all of that. Are you going to do anything in the final release to make Shrewd Commerce Practices more appealing to take?

Sorry about the :spergin:

Doesn't anyone care about the poor defenseless malaria phages that were unjustly massacred during that time period? :smith:
