Hello everyone. Today we’ll continue talking about subject interactions for Common Sense.


First of all. You can now always change the name and adjective of your colonial nation with a modify action on the subject screen.

Placate Local Ruler & Embargo Rivals, which we talked about last week, can of course also be done on protectorates and colonial nations.


Send Officers
This is a toggle that can be turned on/off on protectorates. When on, the overlord will pay an additional 33% of that nations land maintenance costs. However, their Liberty Desire is reduced by 10% as long as its on, and they get +20% Land Morale and +5% Discipline.


Divert Trade
This is another toggle on protectorates. While its on, you get 100% of their tradepower, but their Liberty Desire is increased by 30%.


Seize Territory
As you can’t integrate protectorates, but sometimes need some territory from them, you can now seize provinces from them. However, you need to have positive relation with them, and their liberty desire need to be below 50. The province you take have to be within coring range, and taking it will have severe impact on their desire to stay a protectorate.


Tariffs
Increase and Decrease Tariffs for Colonial Nations have been moved into this screen. Of course that is still accessible if you dont buy Common Sense.


Replace Governor
If a colonial nation is below 50% Liberty Desire, you can attempt to replace the governor up to once a year, but it will increase Liberty Desire slightly.


Start Colonial War
Now, you can always demand that your colonial nation (if at peace, and not having a truce), start a colonial war against someone they have a casus belli upon. Colonial Nations now also get casus bellis on all adjacent primitives.


Promote Investments
Trade companies have a toggle now, where you can increase the tradepower by 50%, for a small ticking increase of inflation.

Next week we’ll talk about new nations, new ideas and gameplay balance tweaks.

Here's a bonus screenshot of some possible Parliament issues for Great Britain..

does increasing and decreasing tariffs still cost 100 admin or whatever? i really like the changes to this that are NOT relying on ADM but rather tradeoffs in your relationship with the vassal state, and hope this changes simply because of that reason. also the other reason is i think the cost is prohibitively high as is

Wait, this is pretty big, so instead of having 4 provinces to not create a CN you can colonize more making it a CN but then just demand back all provinces.. can you demand a CN's last province?

Protectorate, not CN.

Is this on the province level or node level? The first will make it easier to get a merchant, while on a node level it'll actually be a significant boost.

While I'm on the topic of trade company merchants, 50% of province trade power means only one merchant per region while colonial nations enjoy some healthy competition before it is ultimately decided on one side's favour. So maybe 33% or a fixed amount of power (100 maybe?) might keep the conflict burning in MP. Ofcourse this doesn't really work in Ivory Coast, which is to trade as spice is to the Dune universe.

Can you eventually sieze all territories from protectorates up to the point of annexation? Kind of what was happening in India with Great Britain?



Also is the Republic of Florence going to be one of those new nations? Hopefully it was given some thought and has been accepted. ;)

Is Parliament a special feature just for britain, or every country? And are there varying types (eg. Tribal parliament for tribal rulers)

IIRC england is only one that starts with it, others need a constitutional monarchy or something in the later part of the game to access it. it was in the first dev diary

Never having played EU4, I always imagined that was the case. I certainly remember seing custom names for Colonial Nations. Can't players change the names of the provinces that belong to their colonial nations?

In the versions currently available to the public, a Colonial Nation's name can only be set at the time the CN forms.

You could always name them but not REname them.

Hm, well that seems logical. Could/Can players name provinces under control of their Colonial Nations? That's something that gave me a lot of fun in EU3.
