Anybody else missing the Embassy?

Because that one free diplomat was very, very handy. Right now I can either go straight for Diplomatic Ideas or just deal with it. (Or hope that I'm playing one of the nations who get an extra diplomat.)

Before Common Sense I never really thought about it. It was just something you built whenever you had the money for it. Because three diplomats are always better than tree.

And now I realize how much I had depended on that one diplomat.

What are your coping strategies for having one less diplomat in the game? (Honestly curious, as I'd love to read if I perhaps missed something. )

Yes, a lot, plz bring it back paradox.

 

[Parapluman]

Yeah it makes idea groups like diplomatic, aristocratic a̶n̶d̶ e̶s̶p̶i̶o̶n̶a̶g̶e̶ (hehe just kidding ) much more valuable. As they give you an extra diplomat.

The diplomatic/administrative, aristocratic/exploration and espionage/offensive policies also give additional diplomats.
For administrative, diplomatic, and military monarch points respectively.

King rank gives +1 diplomat in 1.13.

I always take the aristocraty doctrine group as soon as I can. It give you +1 diplomat and +1 leader without upkeep. With the remove of the unique building, this doctrine group is totaly worth it.
I don't miss unique building for myself.

I had read somewhere that kingdom-ranked governments will receive an extra diplomat in the next patch.

What about Empire?

+1 Leader

 

[Slayen]

Still wish they would find a place to restore the +1 diplomatic relation the Embassy gave.

And what about the people without common sense...?

Yeah for playing in the HRE, where everyone can be at King rank....Oh, wait...

 

[WeissRaben]

And what about the people without common sense...?

Good question. A question without reply, as of now.

Oooh! Nice!


And thanks for all the other replies!
I had kind of forgotten about the Diplomat in Aristocratic, as I'm trying for Switzerlake right now, so I only saw Plutocratic.

I actually rather like that the lack of "unique buildings" makes the ideas that provide the same bonuses more important. Extra diplomats, inflation reduction, extra leaders - these are all more valuable ideas now.

 

[Oddb@ll]

Do king and emperor rank perks stack? Does an emperor get a leader AND a diplomat?

Personally, I found the building a bit annoying. There was never a situation where you didn't build it, you might as well have started with 3 diplomats.

 

[Wizzington]

And what about the people without common sense...?

Are mostly rank 2, and thus get a diplomat.

Welp, goodbye embassy; You were nice while you lasted.
