EU4 - Development Diary - 8th of September 2016

[NoOneBCE]

YES!

I hope the Tag modifiers and awesome governemnt stats are still there, if so I might have to redo my beloved Revolutionary Golden Horde Run

Also the worst thing that has ever happened to me as a Revolutionary republic as as italy having france steal the tag from me some how after I got the rev republic tag first

@DDRJake, can u watch this one

 

[Kapi96]

Are they more likely to pop up (particularly earlier) now?
I've never actually seen a revolutionary country in game before, although I have only played 1 game right through to 1821 so far.

 

[saegoto]

smart one

 

[DaDerpyDude]

But will there actually be a mechanic for the near continuous stream of coalitions against france?

 

[Frost1800]

Sounds nice.

 

[Furleppe]

Maybe make it possible to have revolutionary republic appear 50 years or more earlier in the game so more people will be able to experience this interesting feature

 

[IFWanderer]

Is it just me or the imperial eagle has a baguette under it's foot?

 

[Mortheim]

Flavor names for other countries?

Speaking of, Jacobins faction look to me like a fish...

 

[loup99]

Not sure why I have a sudden urge to sing some revolutionary songs...

Although I must say that the factions seem to be France-specific, given the names and icons. Is this intended, or will there be cultural or national variations?

As a sidenote a mistake snuck into the diary, with "Royalists" rather than "Imperialists".

Disappointing Dev Diary, especially after having to wait longer than usual. This is nothing new, why is it even part of the paid features? They even say it's just like Ming or Merchant Repiblic factions.

On the other hand, some sort of revolutionary HRE mechanic would be awesome. Something to portray the transnational spirit of the revolution, where spreading the revolution to other countries earns you something like manpower or money (these are just generic examples). But the idea is that you have to keep spreading revolutionary fire, because doing nothing will make you lose these bonuses. Perfect reflection of something as fleeting as revolution.

Because it is absolutely non essential, and will probably not be built upon as a major expansion in the future? You know what they have always donne for paid features.

 

[KerbalRocketry]

Does the faction system for Revolutionary Republics remove estates from them same as other faction systems?

 

[I'm gaming]

Like Merchant Republic, we will miss estates which give enormous benefit for the country when we play as Revolutionary Republic. So we will just boost Royalist and make Revolutionary Empire like Napoleon did- if 1.18 provides much better gameplay which makes us play until the era of revolution, such as nerfing late game forts.

 

[TheDarkMaster]

Is there any basic government that gets Prussia's mechanics in the same way that constitutional monarchies can use English monarchy mechanics?

 

[Trin Tragula]

Yes.

 

[Promanco]

This is SUPER dumb this should NOT be a paid feature, I can literally mod the exact same factions into the game.
I don't think anyone is going to buy the DLC for this particular reason either so I honestly don't see the point, but whatever is not my company lol

 

[pphair]

Those bonuses aren't too enticing, especially since you're giving up estates at the same time, which have good benefits and less drawbacks.
