Custom government form in nation designer + multiple modifiers in one custom nation idea slot

[deadmansticks]

It would be interesting to create a Frankenstein-government from the available choices. For example, a republic that has elections at a custom rate, and/or has horde mechanics - all while being able to choose custom modifiers.
Custom ideas would be insanely useful, for example combining manpower recovery speed and reinforce speed in a single national idea.

 

[I Couldn't Decide]

For example, a republic that has elections at a custom rate.

A good idea in general, I think. It would be nice if we could decide how long terms last, put term limits in place, etc. It would have to be balanced (so people don't just constantly choose 1 year terms with no limits). Not sure how easy it would be to implement, though.

and/or has horde mechanics.

Something like this would probably require a significant rework of government types (dynamic government, mostly). Something to hope for in EU5 (assuming that will ever happen).

Custom ideas would be insanely useful, for example combining manpower recovery speed and reinforce speed in a single national idea.

And insanely broken: custom nations are already very, very powerful in the hands of an experienced player; this would be very difficult to balance without nerfing it into the ground (not that I don't like the idea, but I don't think it's likely to happen).

If the modifier costs for each idea were charged separately, I think it would be balanced. Most of the modifiers would be locked into the first level, to avoid going overbudget.
