Hurray, I contributed. Truly I am a valuable member of the community who is in no way just unhealthily obsessed with improving representation of south-east Asia in a niche videogame.

+1 Diplomat and +1 Relation, not Reputation. Guess we found the worst set already.


EDIT-- Oh nvm I read that wrong. But I still think it's the worst one as of now.

To preface: to the guy who designed these ideas - many thanks! Even if underwhelming from a power level, the less generic ideas there are in the game, the better!

That said, Thuringia definitely makes a good run at Naples-tier. 20% improve relation ambition is craptastic.

Diplomats: +1

super nice especially as a tradition.

Leader(s) without Upkeep: +1

actually useful sometimes. But Western techgroup has an excess of MIL anyways past early game

The Partition of Leipzig: Yearly Legitimacy: +1.00 - mediocre
Fortifications of Erfurt: Fort Defense: +20.0% - too early to tell
Protector of Reformers: Tolerance of Heretics: +2.00 - mediocre to legit garbage
Salana University: Administrative Technology Cost: -10.0% - underwhelming at 4th slot
The Saxon Duchies: Chance of New Heir: +50.0% - absolutely garbage
Weimar Classicism: Idea Cost: -10.0% - pretty bad at 6th slot
Expansive Marriage Policy: Diplomatic Relations: +1 - good


Ambition - Improve Relations: +20.0% - I would take naval morale recovery speed over this.

England already got a huge amount of buffs this patch with Parliament and the changes to HYW.

 

[Melville]

Thanks! Any changes to the policies?

So instead of getting utterly dunked on day 0, they delay it a few years. K. Their national ideas are still pretty awful.

Seems a bit weird that both Milan and Tuscany gets -10% development cost and not italy

From streaming at yesterday, it seems that naval idea set isn't changed. Only +point is increased? Can we hear about what exactly changed for it? I think that as maritime is buffed and other ideas are buffed directly or indirectly too, so naval and espionage are the worst. I'm very curious about change of naval idea.

Considering Italy got +1 prestige, I think they decided to tone it down a notch.

Pagarruyung finaly! Now I know which nation I'll play!

PARADOX you are AWESOME!!!

Northumbrian Ideas make me giggle

Do you think they would be better served with an ideas like
Out on the Town - Infantry combat skill +20% on friday and saturday.
Efficient Breweries - Production +10%.
Incomprehendable Accents - Diplomatic relationships -3
Easy Northern Birds - Development cost -10%
Payday Loans - Loan amount +25%
Heirs to Robin Hood - Looting +100%

Seeing how united Italy completely failed to develop its economy outside of those northern areas...

Well the Italian Ideas is really a buffed mixture of all the small states that are able to form her, so when both Milan and Tuscany lost their national tax modifier, it seems only logical that italy should do the same. As for the +1 Prestige both Milan and Tuscany has that aswell.

Sadly no galician ideas, but still, knowing that each time less nations remain with "generic ideas" is a step forward. I hope every nation gets its own ideas with future updates.

Considering that Scotland and the irish minors got buffed militarily I see England failing more often now tbh

Finally, Trin Tragula asked me to post which ideas were based on suggestions from the forum, so here you go:

Where would be the best place to post ideas for new national idea sets? In the suggestion forums? In the main forum? As a PM? I think coming up with a good suggestion for national ideas would take a good amount of research and it can be so easy for posts like those to become immediately buried without the right people seeing them.

Risorgimento Italy is a completely different beast from what a united Italy in the Renaissance could be.

Risorgimento Italy is a completely different beast from what a united Italy in the Renaissance could be.

Which would be completely different from the ROME ARISEN which it's ideas in EU4 represent.

The suggestions forum is the place for it. We read it regularly even if we haven't always got the time to reply to everything (though suggestions that get accepted will be replied to)
If you want to be sure your NI suggestion is seen you can always PM me about looking at the thread you posted as well.
