EU III 1.1 Government Conversion chart

[Lloyien]

Having come to realize that the manual is confusing (and outdated), I went ahead and made this chart from governments.txt. I hope it'll be of use to everybody.

WOW, that's awesome, thank you very much for the effort.

That actually DOES help quite a lot.

The manual's explanation of government changes is mind boggling...

 

[Tritio]

Tis excellent! Deserves to be stickified! Oh, and by the way, just how do you change government types?

 

[unmerged(16181)]

Wow....

I tried to make a spreadsheet like this, but gave up. The flowchart idea is much better.

 

[tomich]

what did you originally do this in, visio?

is there a way to get a copy of your file?

danke!

I nominate this for Sticky status. Seriously, this is great! Thank you!

Nice work. This needs to be added to the wiki

I added it to the wiki if you don't mind:

awesome. thank you very much. i agree this shouldto euIII wiki.
also i think it should be possible to exit tribalism to despotic monarchy (i was not aware it was a dead end until i saw that chart)..

Thanks, that is very helpful. May I suggest two small improvements?
1. Could you put the level of gov't tech needed for each form in its box?
2. Include the stability cost of changing along each arrow (although it probably would need to be redrawn to be easily readable.)

I used a program called ConceptDraw VI. However, it's only a trial, so I'm going to have to find a freeware program eventually.

The level of government tech needed is not actually found in the governments.txt file. However, for the next patch, I'll check the Government tech file and find it all to put in to the next version. The stab costs might be a little less feasible, given that in spreading the arrows apart far enough to label them, the whole thing could more than double in size, which would make it less easy to read. I'll look into the matter, though.

KAding, thank you for adding it to the wiki.

And everyone else, thank you for your appreciation.

Definitely deserves to be added to FAQ section.

 

[Havard]

Nice. Copied to the FAQ forum.

Very odd. Why can't you go from absolute monarchy to constitutional monarchy?

I know at least Denmark went that way in real life (though after the EU3 timeframe).
