A development discount for everyone who isn't in Europe could work to make it at all worthwhile for the rest of the world. Especially the New World.

Good to see that England no longer gets beat half to death by France and becomes completely irrelevant for the rest of the game.

Turns out that the Teutonic Order is perfectly set up for a trade game. It would be absurdly powerful if it were possible to go from Monastic Order to Merchant Republic. Danzig is literally built out of money.

Is there an easy way to grind prestige up to 50. I get gently caress-all from battles and winning wars only gives like 6 at a time.

The more accepted cultures I have, the more advisors I get that are from different cultures, therefore making it seem like I am indeed a ruler of many peoples.

So Mutapa is actually sorta fun to play as now, they have not-poo poo ideas. They start at like +7 ducats a month thanks to 3(!) gold mines, potentially 4 if you beat Sofala off of Kilwa (easy to do because Kilwa's geography fucks them over as far as reinforcing goes.) Colonize South Africa uncontested because of the change to the colonization idea sets and get a crap ton of ivory and slaves (which are potential gold mines when you abolish slavery.) Hell, even beat-up the Kongolese states uncontested because Europe takes their sweet time getting there.

A problem with modeling pre-Columbian North America is just how murky our knowledge of it gets. Archaeology and oral history only take you so far, especially out west. The Comanche shouldn't even be separate from the Shoshone (and the Shoshone shouldn't have Cherokee names) before the 1700s. Maybe some Aleut/Inuit/Eskimo peoples up in Canada can make it seem more busy than the game makes it look. Put some more dudes in California.

Is Gustavus Adolphus getting the Swedish throne a scripted event that happens no matter what as long as you're independent Sweden? Because I just had my 17 year-old heirless king get offed suddenly and replaced by Gustav II Adolph Lancaster and putting me under threat of a Personal Union.

YF-23 posted:It's no replacement for wartime gameplay, but it adds another dimension to the game so long as you are doing a multicultural empire, by allowing you to develop different culture provinces to the point where they become accepted and maintain them as such as you expand further. Otherwise, rather bland, but it is more than nice to have.

Africa used to be an unbroken ring of provinces along the coast, this got changed because a) Iberia tended to focus entirely on Africa instead of the New World, b) Spain having ports in Madagascar in 1520 is ridiculous, and c) it gives everyone in eastern Asia a few centuries to prepare for European bullshit.

The Suez and Panama canals could actually be incredibly useful for moving troops in a global empire, they just are too expensive and unlock way too late to matter. The Kiel canal, meanwhile, is completely useless and being available from 1444 wouldn't make it worth having (joy, I just opened up my perfect naval bottleneck!)

Aisar posted:I had to load that poo poo up just to check, I've played hundreds of hours of this dumb game and I'd somehow never noticed Lapland started shamanist. Is there anything you can do with that? I'd love to give a shamanist sapmi run a shot as long as I didn't have to console my way in cause I ain't no dirty cheater. Convert to pagan (so Shamanist, Animist, and Totemist) is a massive bitch compared to any other religious category because you have to tank your economy to pull it off.
