Claims reduce coring cost by 50%

[zodium]

Nah. It's only a bug after it's been fixed. Right now it's a "feature".

RobRoy3's uncertainty principle of game development.

It's a bug.

They added a new line in Defines.lua, CORE_COLONY = 0.5, for coring cost reduction from colony. However they attached that to claims while the old CORE_HAD_CLAIM = 0.25 was attached to colonies.

So claims are reducing coring cost by 50% while same-continent colony coring cost is reduced by 25%.

I can't believe them when they say they test this stuff.

Yeah, I don't like to be unreasonable but it seems like something you can detect in 5 minutes of play sneaks in each patch. I wonder if it's an internal vs release build thing, but if that's the case there must be a better way of doing it.

Seems like, but same-continent colonies *also* get the halved BT discount like overseas provinces get. So a same continent colony is still cheaper to core than a same continent claim is.

Too many discounts...

So in other words I should go play Ottomans and not bother taking admin ideas?

 

[dirtInfestor2]

Yea, just go Influence-Diplomatic, maybe Religious first if you want to go for Europe first and then fabricate claims everywhere.

I don't like this setup, it too readily encourages pre-coring a ton of distant overseas stuff and connecting it, which feels awkward.

Except you'll lose all those distant overseas cores when they become not distant overseas... because... reasons? Bug? Feature? I don't know, but it's really silly.

Inb4 its a feature to prevent "exploiting"...

Seems a little harsh. 'Here, we made this cheaper, unless they later become not-distant-overseas, in which case you'll lose your core and will have to pay full cost without benefit of claims, so the actual cost is more than 1.5x as much. Enjoy'.

I'd rather have full-priced cores...

I'm 100% sure it's a bug. That would be ridiculous from a design perspective.

So the bug has a bug in it? Seems silly.

It's a bugture.

Yo dawgs are always silly, even when true.

So if I start in Europe, colonize Africa, and late game link them up, all those cores will be removed? Am I understanding that right?

Edit: Nvm... Just came across the other thread where it's being discussed.
