Raenir Salazar posted:I feel like when it comes to navies where these things are (a) big, thus take a long time to build (b) expensive (c) tech moves quickly: the result is probably "any battleship on hand is better than a better one tomorrow", so the incentive is slap a new turret on a design and start building immediately in smaller batches then waiting forever for enough "Naval XP" and the right tech to have a fleet of "optimal designs"; actually having a system where you actually need a navy operating at all times and I think it all shapes together as "just do what you want" instead of people needing to be optimal like with Hoi4 division templates which was annoying. Some sort of naval-presence-protecting-traderoutes thing does seem important for the period...

HerpicleOmnicron5 posted:Yeah I'm not sure about subject military power being good for your prestige. Their military victories, sure, but the size of their military sounds like the opposite of prestige enhancing to me, should it surpass or even equal that of the overlord. Like, I see it as the overlords thinking of themselves as lovely parents and the subjects as kids, they're proud that they beat another kid (or even a parent) in a fight, but if the kid's getting as big as the parent then that becomes an avenue of mockery. Same with their GDP - them not being a failure is good, but them being more successful than yours is kinda embarassing. Counterpoint may be Britain in WWI?

This feels like it could fit the diplomatic system very well since both it and the abstracted military system need to be able to evaluate the ability of a country to project power --- if you can't actually send more than 500 troops somewhere you probably shouldn't be able to threaten them into vassalization either, nor should you be able to send your entire army to South America from Poland without a considerable naval investment.

I like that professional army is just made via the same kind of production buildings as regular economy stuff, complete with a choice of production methods... Makes it feel closer tied to the economic side of the game beyond some upkeep on a separate screen.

Raenir Salazar posted:The thing with Britain sniping a state from you that you've been wanting to colonized is ideally supposed to result in agitation for war. It'd be fun if in V3 this gets actually modelled a bit. Like your pops get a wave of jingoism and demands to declare war on specific nations because of minor slights. You would also need to model being unable to switch to new production methods until a few centuries have passed.

VostokProgram posted:They said secession will be a different mechanic than revolution Which is a bit awkward since there were a lot of attempted independences (some successful, some not) at the same time as a revolution in 1917+ and also tied up to a world war, though I suppose expecting them to model all that would be unreasonable.

If you somehow manage to industrialize the South enough the planters lose power compared to industrialists that could potentially avoid the Civil War. Whether that's actually doable is a different question...

ilitarist posted:It's very hard for me to imagine a pre-modern state that has control over the populace compared to even the most liberal country nowadays. I imagine it's a very limited definition of control. It's a way simpler economy, though. Like it's mostly agriculture + textiles and a handful of artisans, and there is a long history of restrictions affecting the bulk of population that are farmers.

Also realistically, subsistence farmers living "off the grid" would be an atypical phenomenon. Generally you would have some elites/government taxing the farmers which considerably narrowed their survival margins.

You're fairly isolated and pretty much self-sufficient, so you can easily learn about how the economic system works in a vacuum and how certain buildings, production methods etc. impact your own market that's almost unrelated to the global one. I am not sure given the stream --- they have some very limiting laws that may be too constricting....

It’s like they had a breakdown, said “gently caress this” and switched parties mid-term. That's a thing that can happen in the US system, see e.g. Jim Jeffords. (It's unlikely to happen at the scale the game represents, of course).
