Yes, the additive stacking surprised me as well when I first started playing EU4, coming for Warcraft 3/Dota, where everything is multiplicative. That model seems much better, but there's 0 chance of the EU4 model being changed this late in its life.
I agree that 50% should be enough. After all, we are creating alternative histories, Wallachia should go belly up 50% of the time, if not more.
Personally hoping for Hessen/Teutonic Order/Hannover and Westphalia which could really use ideas and are big enough to warrant them.
Oh man, that's a lovely idea. Just give convert all the current +100% core creations to minimum 50% autonomy for as long as the core lasts.
I like it. Adds some flavor to those who won't be playing Wallachia too.
Then they need something else that deters the AI, like an autonomy cap, rather than something that screws with the annexation system. And the point is no, you still don't have to put more thought into your strategies. You still vassalize, same as before, it just costs unreasonably more.

Wallacian ideas look top tier, and it looks like we are going to have 50+ new ideas.
Actually it has, it makes other nations less likely to attack you as it costs much more for them to core.
Now, who was wishing for an OP Wallachia again? With these NIs it will be a piece of cake to conquer the whole Eastern Europa... Especially with the extra shock for the generals. I think only lucky nations have such powerful NI.
And the -10% advisor cost is just a flavor.

In case you're wondering he wants to buy the Paradox devs a beer
Don't go spending a fortune on beers for Paradox, you should take a look at the map before you do that. Wallachia now only borders Hungary, the Ottomans and Poland, the first in-game decades will be brutal. Buy them the beer after you form Romania with the new, shiny, national ideas
Want to bet that Hungary will still stomp Wallachia within 15 years in the majority of the games? Hungary is still a much bigger country.
Like hell they aren't. Their center of power was in the Balkans for the vast majority of their history, I'm curious what else you would define them as.
I hope not - why should Moldavia get an idea like 'Legacy of the Impaler'?
Will Romanian get these NI too?In case you're wondering he wants to buy the Paradox devs a beer

Will relations limits be increased to compensate for all these nations with +100 core costs? It appears that AoW is meant to encourage a large subject empire rather than a large single tag empire and being limited to 3-4 relations would really hurt that concept.
