Automatic development

[Therius991]

Hey,

I find it a bit weird, that provinces don't develop by themself. So my suggestion would be to implement some sort of automatic development, like a reversal of the automatic reduction of inflation. It could depend on factors like terrain, capital, development efficiency, etc. Monarch powers could be used as a boost, kind of like they are right now. Universities could make the boosts cheaper, while certain idea groups and the government buildings accelerate the automatic growth (in addition to the reduced unrest, maybe?)

Have a nice weekend, everyone,
best regards,
Thomas

I'd have to agree, in 400 years the population doesn't change at all and thereby increasing taxes? Or trade or anything?

Makes sense, +1. Still there is sooooo much more here that they should do. For example. balance automatic developing so that it doesn't end up that some pacific island is as developed as a province in Europe or India, then balance so that its still worth developing manually, then maybe introduce that wars reduce development etc etc.

Agreed, probably something along the lines of technology and proximal development and owner. That is a province near other provinces of high development develops faster than one that is near other provinces with low development, thereby causing a ripple effect over time where if you put lots of points into development in one province it'll cause nearby provinces to develop quicker on their own
