Prestige is already in the game. Anyway, how would you use prestige as a replacement for BB?

It's great that BB was kept in place. Otherwise the entire balance of power in Europe would go to hell in a decade :p

It seems much more accurate that way, if you think about it. Almost every power in that period that pushed against their neighbours too hard quickly ended up on the sharp end of a lot of pointy sticks. Napy and the Germans in Europe, Russia and Austria in the Balkans, etc.
In fact, the BB concept seems much more reasonable in the Victoria timeframe than in the EUII one.

I experimented some to see how BB rises/falls.
As Sweden:
Declared war on Russia +1p
Recieving 32 provinces in peace treaty +64p
Releasing vassals -1/province

However I don't know what a high BB rating is.

Isn't there some Beta out there with a lot of tables etc? If so, when are they going into the FAQ:s?

You took 32 PROVINCES?!
OMG..no wonder BB must be implemented.
Else Russia would be vanished completely in a single war. :D

You know having an alliance with some other powers would greatly help.

Since your expansion would be into Russia - wait for the Crimean War and then pounce! Talking about a house of cards then!

I would hate to see the union-dissolving event for Sweden (playing as Sweden). Anyway to avoid it? (Short of editing event).

BTW, what difficulty level are you playing on and AI aggressiveness?

Try making a lot of Ikea factories to sell luxury furniture!

Playing on normal/normal patch 1.01.
Ikea and luxury furniture does not belong in the same sentence :D
About those 32 provinces, it was actually Russia that offered them to me, I only wanted the Baltic coast (which I got :D )
There was no union-dissolving event, but I releasead Norway anyway

Am I correct to assume that conquest of provinces which have the same dominant culture as your empire doesn't raise BB as much as otherwise.. (since you also get more Prestige from that)..

Example, taking Åland etc. as Sweden..

About the bad boy thing... Does everyone agree that it should be implemented? Personally I would want a bit vaguer system. Perhaps a list with values that are only approximate.
I think that would make it less gamey, and more realistic.

Why go to such lenghts just to get Cuba btw? *Lol*:)

How about a smiley face in a corner that progressively gets frownier and frownier?

:D :) :eek:o :( :mad:

I doubt culture plays any role, but since Sweden has a claim on Mariehamn it propably doesn't raise BB at all.

I actually just had an event that read "Substandard furniture found: 15 furniture destroyed". So we'll just have to wait for the modders to make an IKEA-factory event to get them to the market.;)
