Problem:
- deving institutions is very gamey
- innovativeness is not stellar
- embracing institutions is a pay ducats and forget thing
- base idea: apply a +10% dev cost modifier for e.g. 1 year after a province has been developed ("province has recently been developed").
- A more granular, probably more compute intensive but imho better approach would be to have each dev click add +1% dev cost (decaying), so only after 10 times deving we would reach the +10% dev cost. This might make deving an already high dev province more worthwhile in comparison to deving a low/medium dev province, because you need fewer dev clicks to spawn the institution.
- that gives players the opportunity to dev up for an institution, but at the same time it comes with a cost for insta-deving which gives an incentive to spread deving over time. It's kind of a soft cooldown.
- then make innovativeness reduce the x year time period so that at 100% innovativeness this will be reduced to zero or increase the decay factor in the +1% per click idea. The decay factor could also be affected by "normal" institution spread modifiers (like e.g. from positive stability)
- as a last point, introduce a (visible) second meter besides the threshold of 10% autonomy modified development, where you can embrace. This meter would sit at e.g. 50% autonomy modified development, below which you can embrace but you will also lose 1 stability.
- again, more granular would go like this: 75%-99.9% lose 0 stability, 50%-75% lose 1 stability, 25%-50% lose 2 stability, 10%-25% lose 3 stability
- innovativeness then could move this meter to the left side, so if e.g. the meter sits at 75% below which we lose stability when embracing, then e.g. 10% innovativeness could move it to 65% (if applied absolutely) or by 7.5% to 67.5% (if applied relatively)
