And about canal's (i posted it in 2.0.5 feedback): is this on purpouse to give enormous 250 000 $ annulal income from Suez Canal ? It seems to be 10 times too big (since Panama gives only 50 000)

The problem would be if you have any provinces that aren't contiguous with your capital, but should otherwise be accessible. Which does happen, particularly if you have a nation with islands. Having the modifiers apply to states on a priority basis (capital first, then adjacent, then non-adjacent, then colonial) within a country event would be the only way to prevent that.

I'm running with it, tbh. I'm letting it cross borders, so even tho Japan can't spread tractors to Chinese states from Tokyo, it can get them there via Russia. There's not really enough tiny islands to make this a big problem.

Probably not, no, tho do remember that Suez was by far the busiest waterway in the world in the period.

Unless I am wrong Suez gives 500.000$ a year.
The income is quite nice, btw. As Chile I was able to pay my expenses with the Panama and Suze canal alone.

And, let's be honest - the fact that Suez grants you a province within colonization range of Africa is already enough to justify the canal construction...

it gives 250,000. I've cut that a fair bit, tbh, since it's an insanely high amount - now Panama gives 10k, Kiel give 5k and Suez 25k.

Sorry for bothering but have you cut the necessary costs for the canals as well? Otherwise it would be quite a big deficit business building them.

Yeah, I'm reducing it.

I don't like the idea of smaller regiments making military score count for 3 times as much in GP status. In my current game there are two Chinese nations in the GP list despite neither having any prestige or industry to speak of. They don't need any more help there.

It's not amounting to a tripling, as I've reduced the attack and defence values of the units proportionately. It does need to be worth a little more early tho.

Very well, carry on.

Hmmm... would it be possible to make it so that craftsmen reduce input efficiency and increase output efficiency moderately in some industries? That way factories could start out with a higher profit margin at very low levels of production but would revert to normal profit margins once employment gets up to a normal amount. It could help marginal factories to compete and keep half the world from having 95% of their factories shuttered. Not really sure if the numbers would add up but I think this could make it possible for a very lightly staffed factory to stay in business through a downturn.
