Clergy will help with farmers and labourers only, for the others you can max your social reforms buget to reduce CON, you don't even need to have social reforms. Reducing tax should also help.

do they reduce MIL or CON???
as far as u remember it was MIL

Both Clergy and tax-reductions will reduce CON.

I always thought this was a bit silly.

Ruler: "If you're unemployed, ill, overworked and die after a poverty-stricken old age, tough. BUT if I did do anything about this, I'd *definitely* pay for it in full"
Grateful Populace: "Thank you. We are content just for knowing that"

An 'enhancement' for the next 'DEM' would be to check for non-zero social costs, possibly.

is it a problem to have high CON anyway?
I normally get away with CON at 10 for lots of the game,
thanks to a tax-and-pacify policy.

But really, what is the problem with having a high CON?

cant see any disadvantages

Yeah, it's a noted bug. Hopefully it'll fixed in 1.04.

If you're a democracy it's fine, but monarchys are not pleased when their people start thinking about how much better it'd be if they would vote in their leaders.

And that, sir, is where plurality comes in!

Actually, A good way to solve this is that the slider is only a modifier of the bonus provided by the reforms. Slider at 50% means you get 50% of the reform benefits. If you have zero reforms, the effect will be zero.

Excellent idea! I hope they consider it for the next patch.

put tax ration less than 30%.

Not to be a nitpick, but taxing lower than 33% lowers CON.
