Autonomy

[ringworm]

Hi, Can some please please explain Autonomy ... Never seen it before.

Is there anyway to raise and low it.. I see in peace it slowly drops. Is there away to speed things up with out revolt.

I presume

Autonomy is temporary after conquest?
Autonomy is a bad thing.
Autonomy is another game mechanism which slows down conquest (seems a good idea , so far)

Many thanks

1.Yes, it decays over time.
2.Yes because it reduces the economical usefulness of provinces and no because it reduces the unrest when you raise it (IMO it is better to spend money than to harsh treat with MIL points)
3.No LA speeds up the map painting because high LA provinces are cheaper in WS.

1. Temporary is a bad word, it slowly decays.
2. Yes, though increasing authonomy significantly (by 10) decreases unrest. But thats a 20 Years modifier
3. Generally yes
The way to decrease it wothout causing a revolt: everything that decreases unrest: high stability, high legitimacy, some ideas etc. decreasing authonomy causes +10 unrest, so be sure to only decrease it in provinces which has at most -10 unrest. Suddenly, tolerance of true faith became important
