A Unified List of Wishes for FtG

[WeissRaben]

A little idea about dynamic cores.

I agree: a simple switch on/off is not enough. It would be quite ahistorical.
But what about gradual cores? Like...25 years ---> CB province ("This province is MINE!"), ANOTHER 75 years ---> Claim province ("We are the ones that took care of this lands. You have not a right on these"), YET ANOTHER 150 years ---> Core province ("France? I heard something similar from my great-grandma, yes, but this is Italy."). 250 years in all. Aaaand...the process works inversely, too: 150 years ---> Core -> Claim; 75 years ---> Claim -> CB; 25 years ---> CB -> nothing.

This could allow nations to be created before or after their date: of course, you could create a "Roman Empire" in 1500, but it would be the laughingstock of Europe. You'd have to press your claims...as above, it wouldn't be an easy task; but after that, in 1800, few would call the empire "Italy".

You can. It's represented with 2 brown crates and a barrel. And if you click them, it goes directly to the CoT.

Yes I know but it is shown on the MAP not province picture. :rofl: I hope someone will understand...

You mean the city view?

I guess it would be nice for aesthetics.

The city view is so cramped already that adding another picture in it is a bad idea in my opinion.

A scenario editor, with at least as much functionality as original EU 2. (Apologies if it already exists, I've only tried the demo thus far.)

defines.txt is great, I'd like to see even more added. I'd be thrilled to get any one of these:
- ADDPRICE parameters for manufactories
- Parameters for benefits of manufactories
- Parameters for effects of dp sliders

(Basically, I'd like to play with losing the ever-increasing cost of manufatories, while toning their benefits way down.)

Ingame messages for when a new fleet or army has been completed.

Cheers,

Stilicho

Playing FtG definitely leaves you wanting more. One of the problems with EUII was the 16th and 17th Centuries when playing the colonizing powers. You tend to be in splendid isolation from the rest of the game during that period and omnipotent after it. III did not really solve that problem hopefully you guys will come up with some stuff to keep the player in the present and not constantly building for tomorrow.

A minor request, but in the patch could you please replace the current flag of SCO with the blue/white saltire? The current flag is only really valid for the first 100~ years, and the blue/white flag would certainly look better anyway.

Thought I'd link to this because it sort of turned in to a request.

Do you have any suggestions?

I think making the colonization system a bit closer to Victoria's would be a very good move.

Instead of having to send zillions of colonists it would be better to have "claims" to uncolonized province, like it happened historically. To get these claims you could do number of things, like build trade posts, forts, missions and so on. (once the province is cleared of hostile natives)

Then we would need some kind of emigration system to allow for the mainland's pop to move to the colonies, something like a new slider...one side would improve the colony's pop at the cost of mainland pop and vice versa.

That sounds really damn awesome +100!

Yes it does, but also sooo impossible to achieve.

Out of curiosity, what part is impossible to achieve?

The slider that changes the population? or the rest?

I think the idea of building in an uncolonized province to "claim" it is doable.

Well...were allowed to wish...aint we?

I also wish on completion of a WC, that we get an option/event to construct a spaceship and fly to the moon so we can battle the Martians! With level 60+ land tech of course!

 

[Samorim]

Well, maybe it is easy to do, but sounds hard to? Yes it does. I don't know... I asked for apparently easier things and I was told that was too hard to implement, like for example auto-colonizing.

Martians are from mars bro!

Nothing is impossible. We just have to make choices for relative importance of the feature according to estimated time required for implementation.

 

[Samorim]

Well, when I said "impossible" I didn't mean it literally. I was refering not to the impossibility of implementing it, but the amount of work and time it would take - but also the will from you guys - to code such feature in the game.

No they are from Hungary, but put aside that, I miss the revelance of martians here.
