Developmetn cost in 1.13 beta is hyte.

[highsis]

I will post a reply I made to another thread for devs to see.

This change destroyed my game. I had a save in 1700. After the beta,

-capital development from 20 to 200 in dozens of years.
-every single province over 60 development. Every building except for fortress and government building built in every province.
-40 provinces mid-size nation(17th largest), yet more than double income, double manpower than the largest nation Ottoman that is 3 times bigger than my nation.
-400 regiments and 250 ships. 50 large ships.
-150k ducats at 1820 end.

The game's balance is completely broken. My Capital's income went 10 folds in 100 years and my overall income tripled in the same game. Balance wise that's absolutely ridiculous. Being one of 4% who downvoted OP I'm quite angry the change came out preciously as I expected.

I'm not even going to bother making a thread about it against 96% majority. I will just have to wait for people to come to their senses or M&T to fix the problem. Good luck playing with null building system(you can build everything in every province lol) and overflooding income and manpower.

The dev cost of my capital with 200 development:

Spoiler

cost: 83
Developmetn efficiency -60%
land reform -20%
full economy focus -20%
reichsreform -5%
organized through bishops -5%
capital city -10%
university -20%
development +400%
coastal center of trade -5%

Mind you, I had land reform custom idea with 20% discount but 200 development is ridiculous in the first place. I could build every building with 80 development and I just wanted to see how far I could go.

GG.

It seems to me they overcorrected, the costs used to be too high after a handful of increases, but 83 points at 200 development is ridiculously low even after stacking all possible discounts.

I liked the old development penalty. But this is why we are beta testing right. To get this balanced.

I don't know if you're taking into account just how ridiculous all of those modifiers are. All of those combine to an absurdly high discount, and because of that you were able to develop a lot more than maybe most other people would be. To say nothing of the fact that it's past 1700 in your game.

Also, 150k ducats isn't that insane for late game. You can easily surpass 1m as someone like The Hansa or Venice if you play your cards right, and that's even if you go 2 or 3 times over your forcelimit with mercenaries and light ships.
