Do you prefer inflation on or off?

It's on!

So, after preferring inflation off for most of my EU3 games up until now, I'm playing with it on.

I have a current game going with Milan and I, honestly, feel that it's easier if anything with inflation on. It was something of a challenge at first to fund my armies, but after 1420 or so it was no sweat. France and Castille have descended into constant bankruptcies, almost everyone save for me has >15inflation, and no one has bothered to DoW me more than once or twice the whole game(I've reached 1500), due to economic troubles I suspect.

It's a slightly more interesting game, though, I'll give it that. It's kind of fun to see great empires crumble due to being unable to hold their finances together.

I begin to see the value of having Lucky Nations on now, I have the strongest economy in the world and that will only get more so as I get more cores and start colonizing, whereas I foresee most of the other powers just getting weaker.

i play with it off in MP with the wife, so we get more action faster, but in SP i play with it on, because speed is a case of speeding the game and pausing in sp, its nowhere near as slow

i don't think inflation matters that much in hte game. only two types of nations are greatly affected by inflations. the first ones are those that are doom from the start. they bankrupt so many times that their inflation max out. and the second is the player. the ai seems to manage infaltions pretty well. as long as it does not pass 30 they can get it to zero as soon as they research gov 30. i personally like to increase the base cost of building to 1000 ducat each to prevent abuse cause inflation did not disappear arounf 1750.

btw, i try modding nation bank to have +.1 inflation but gives 25 percent more income but the result was still .1 inflation reduction.
