Abandoning a finished idea group gives a permanent bonus

[BlackZappy]

Hello,

I have an idea regarding the abandoning of full idea groups. You dont get your monarchpoints back, but instead you can choose one permanent modifier from the abandoned idea group ideas.

For example: you abandon economic idea. Now you choose from the idea list "National Bank" for a permanent 0.10 Inflation reduction. Or you choose "bureaucracy" for the permanent +10% tax modifier.

This is for Players who loves modifier stacking or with too much monarchpoints as a reward.

I think you are overlooking a big bonus of idea group abandoning: that you get a free slot for group that would be more useful for your new situation.

However, I also think it might make sense to keep access to policies of abandoned group (which may or may not include policies with groups that you've finished after abandoning).

I disagree with you selecting one of the bonuses of the idea group

I do agree that a better compensation for losing an idea group is needed. Or even better, have a system that makes removing idea groups almost no longer needed. In all my hours of eu4, I or others have rarely needed to remove idea groups, except for two situations:

You play as a country that started out as an AI country or you play on a later date (They have certain ideas already). This is why I ignore playing as a released country. Back when I played multiplayer, people got defeated but still wanted to see the rest of the game, so they logged in as an AI country but then started regretting because the idea groups were not to their desire. Their is a need for a solution, but it’s not the one proposed here
