end of game inflation

[unmerged(24098)]

Hi,

Is their a way to avoid piling up inflation at the end of the game when you have researched all techs? I always build governors in every town, but that won't let me cope with the inflation I get when all revenues go directly to my treasury.

thanks for any info you can give me

I don't believe there's a way to avoid it.

Try to lose stability as much as posssible?

Just dow someone whenever your stability gets to +3

 

[labalag]

Just go in the savegamefile and reset all your techs to 0...

It would be funny to see Nappy running around with LT5 soldiers against LT60 Austrians...

 

[Sleepyhead]

Poor Nappy in that case

Build a lot of manufactories, stop playing and convert the game to Victoria. You will probably get very nice advantages .

There's not really much you can do actually. But odds are that you'll never be able to spend all that money flowing in, no matter how high your inflation is. Anyways the biggest drawback of inflation is higher techcost, which in your case is no longer a problem.

A question about inflation and tech: When I play the game, should I worry about getting every advantage I can, e.g. looting to speed tech, never taking wrong-culture/wrong-religion provinces and modifying sliders to innovative/narrowminded and such -
or will near the end regardless of such efforts I have maxed all techs anyway, so that I could play the game more carefree?

It depends on what country you're playing. If you're a latin european country, you can be narrowminded and continent-spanning country, if you apply the right strategy (ie developping economy first and building manufactories) you'll finish all techs whatever the number of wrong culture/religion provinces you have, and with a constant surplus of money from your budget.

If you play as an orthodox- or muslim-techgroup country (including China), it's slightly harder, but still doable. You just need to be a bit careful.

With other techgroups, it's quite impossible to finish, and you need every edge you can get to keep up with the europeans (ie innovativeness and centralisation).


Three additional comments :
- looting is always good, but preferably use it to send money to the treasury (assuming you're latin, orthodox or muslim techgroup)
- wrong culture/religion penalties only affect tax income, not production or trade taxes (which are the biggest part of provincial income after a time, for most of the provinces) and have no effect on tech/stabcosts
- inflation is not severe, if you got it when minting to pay a valid investment (like 50-or-so first manus, for example)

Well, bigger drawback IMHO would be if I consider a conversion to Vicky, as it's affecting your starting position with a much worse manner than it's affecting your EU2 economy. Only a couple of manus get converted to factories, but the whole inflation is taken as penalties.

Having a governor in every province reduces inflation by 0.20% (or was it 0.25?) so the micromanagement is horrid in a super-size empire.

0.25 yearly if all provinces have one, and there's no micromanagement : you only have to build the building once.

Well, I suppose having to click on every province and then approving the construction of the building in a large empire isn't tedious at all?

 

[unmerged(40258)]

what penalties does a high inflation cause in a victoria converted game?

It lowers tax efficiency and raises your factory cost. From the description on VickyWiki:

Tax efficiency = (1 - (inflation - 0.2 ) * 0.25))

Factory cost = (1 + (inflation - 0.2 ) * 0.25))
