EU4 - Development Diary - 13th of February 2018

Is there going to be way to play without these new missions without turning off new dlc?

Since they've said the new mission system is in the 1.25 patch, I think the only way you'd be able to escape the new mission system is to stay on 1.24.

How do the English/British missions regarding the New World work with RNW? Will they still be called "Settle in America" or is the mission name dynamic and can they be completed in a RNW scenario?

Where possible, missions will be completable in the RNW. In the very few cases where it wouldn't work, they won't appear.

Are the "conquer Connacht" etc missions just a less powerful version of the "unite home region" generic mission?

Uniting the home region as per the generic mission would be the entire British Isles. And unlike the generic missions these will give you permanent claims.

Do all nations get the missions of the formavle nation for instance a japanese minor forming japan.

Yes. Forming a nation will give you its mission set if it has one. In this case, you'd lose Daimyo missions and gain Japanese mission.

Hence, less powerful. That's not very impressive, given how limited unique Irish missions seem already. Are there plans to add more?

The 14 Irish missions posted here https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...of-february-2018.1069383/page-7#post-23811936 are what the Irish tags will be getting with the DLC.

They take you quite a bit further than the generic reward to unify your home region and unlike that mission they grant you the claims and other rewards you need on the way. So I don't really know what you mean by less powerful.

And no there are no plans to add more missions for Ireland than these right now.

 

[Trin Tragula]

No they aren't and devs have even said so. Some have been reworked and others straight up axed.

To clarify:

England, Great Britain, Ireland and Scotland get new paid missions with the DLC (in addition to their translated old missions for free in the case of England and Scotland as they had missions before).

For the free missions:
1: Old country specific content has as far as possible been translated into the tree system. This means adding some new content in some places to make it work.
2: New content has been added for free to various tags that didn't have country specific missions before or that lost many missions due to 3.
3: Some missions that did not translate well have been removed (this is almost exclusively the missions to retake provinces that you start with in 1444 in case you should lose them). In many cases we have instead added new missions to compensate for that (for instance Burgundy now gets missions to actually expand instead of just retake things if they lose them).
4: Repeating generic conquest missions have been removed. There are now a set of 15 base generic missions that everyone gets unless they have very big trees and a few region specific ones that you get if you don't have country specific missions.

I may have missed this, but is there any chance of some Darien Scheme related missions? I've been toying with trying to mod something for that as it would be a great path for Scotland to remain independent or becoming part of Britain when faced with bankruptcy and English gold.

There is a mission for that
