I prefer black-white-red flag, hey should it change it real life too.

Another guess regarding magistrates... Maybe you can't conquer provinces without enough magistrates to put in them (with the possible exception of cores). That would be a nice way to keep excessive expansion in check (ie. nerf France). More advanced governments (as well as decisions, sliders, etc.) would allow for more rapid expansion.
That would be really cool.
Names could go by dynasties, not by countries. Thus, if the Bourbons arrived to reign on Castille or Aragon, instead of "Fernando", "Alfonso" and "Juan" we'd have "Louis", "Charles" or even "Robert" (Enrique or Henry were common).
Anyway, I like all those changes and improvements... looking forward to play them.
But then you'll be having British and Castilian kings with German name, Aragonese kings with Castilian names after 1412... I prefer the way it already is, linked to the countries' main culture. After all, kings were remembered by the country and people they ruled, it wouldn't make much sense this way.
I think magistrates are going to be related to cultural conversion (perhaps even like missionaries are for religion), or else you send a magistrate to a province and it vastly reduces MTTH for cultural conversion.
This could be solved by a pretty simple name translator mechanism. Most of these names have counterparts in every european language. The spanish Bourbons would not be Louis, Charles and Robert but Luis, Carlos and Roberto.
Will it be possible to buy provinces from AI Nations? or trade them..
That would be very important for EUIII.
That would be very important for EUIII.
I don't know, magistrate sounds too 'administrative' to be something that improves culture.
This would be awesome; even more of a 'sandbox' feel! Unfortunately, I don't think this is the case because the flow of Magistrates is linked with the government type. Cultural conversion would seem more plausible if their flow was linked with the domestic policy sliders (esp. Arist/Pluto, Serf/Free, Inno/Narrow, Merc/FTrade).
It would be sweet to have a cultural conversion agent, especially when related to diplo-annex. That may even be his purpose, to sit and bang a gavel in the province until annexation comes, sort of like the missionary does now. That would be cool indeed...

I don't think one could rule out that they might have an effect on cultural conversion. I have my doubts that they would directly cause that, mostly due to the fact that in half of my games Aragon would be French by 1500. On the other hand though, if they are related to improving provinces, as I mentioned earlier, whether through base tax or whatever, it wouldn't be too far fetched to think improving infrastructure would help spread your culture. It might just give you a modifier to the time it takes the conversion event to fire or something like that.
Mmm... as has been said before, magistrates are likely to be linked with the advisors sphere of the game. Honestly, they are not the best feature of vanilla EU3 and so they must be trying to polish it. Or at the most something related to the economic sliders, maybe something like minister points to help rushing tech advances... I'd bet for one of these two areas, the weaker ones in EU3.
Well, in the announcement post it says that advisors are handled via "cultural tradition" like military tradition, so I'm going to guess that tradition is probably not the same as magistrates. Since a magistrate is basically someone who administers laws we can assume it has some effect on the government or province level. Also the fact that they come in pretty small numbers makes me think they have pretty good long term effects(base tax increase, slider move, etc.) vs quick short term effects(tech investment, quick cash, etc.). Obviously this is just conjecture and we have no way of knowing for sure, but it's fun to try to figure all the new features out.
I think it's more linked to the "sphere of influence" issue. We'll see...
I'm just hoping that for the occasions I want to cheat they make it so I can get more Magistrates when I need them... :rofl:
