In Nomine in a nutshell

[Darkrenown]

A few questions to sate my curiosity please G'kar

"Colonial system changed":
Any change to the Colonial Ventures Idea, or does it still give 1 whole colonist per year? Its not showing up in the changed ideas list, but I figure it might have replaced outright by Land of Opportunity?

Well I'm not G'kar, but no, Colonial Ventures wasn't changed. LoO is an extra idea.

"Colonial Assimilation":
Are there any drawbacks to using this?

No, only that it costs a colonist.

"Units can scorch owned provinces":
How long does the scorched earth effect lasts?

2 years.

"Pirates are made more common":
What is the average size of a pirate fleet now? What size was the largest/strongest pirate fleet you've had to battle?

Average size is about 2 ships. Largest I've seen is 6. They appear a lot more often now though, unless you patrol.

"Each placed merchant now reduces competition chance by 0.5%."
Was this value made moddable by putting it in one of the editable txt files? (staticmodifiers or define.txt, I'd presume?)

Static-modifiers:

placed_merchants = {
	merchant_compete_chance = -0.005		#-20% at 40 placed.
}

Try it out before you change it though!

"There is now a reset in relations and timers with all other vassals when you diplomatically annex one"
Has it been made easier to diploannex a country when you meet the requirements or do you still have to deal with Unlikely/Maybe odds almost all the time? When the timer resets, does that mean that 10 years later, you'll have unlikely odds to diploannex a vassal you've had for 200 years? When you say it resets relations, does that mean that whenever you annex a vassal, all other vassals' relations are set to 0? Take a hit? Can a vassal with negative relations gain relations because of this?

A vassal has to have been you vassal for 10 years before you can annex them, each time you annex a vassal this timer is reset. So basically you can only annex 1 vassal every 10 years. You also have better chances to annex they longer they have been your vassal, but this is based off the same timer so it's also reset. I've had long term vassals be rated as "likely".

Vassal relations aren't reset to 0, just jsut take a hit. -50 IIRC.

The new diplo skill rating gives better annexion chances as well as everything that previously did.

"Infiltrate Administration"
How long does it lasts? Is it relatively trivial to do?

Lasts a year. It's quite easy to do.

"Empire" form of government"
Stats?

+0.25 land morale.

- When using spy action to increase revolt risk, does it have any effect on the type of rebel that will pop up in that province?

No, rebel types are affected by stuff within that country/province. You only increas the base chance of some king of rebelion.

- Max tech level. Is the new maximum technology level 68?

72
