Where you rule from effectively is the capital. And the Portuguese moved out before Lisbon was occupied.
So you expect us to peruse your entire AAR to witness an exploit you use, which will be inadvertently nerfed by something targeted towards closing a different potential exploit.
Apparently you think @Wiz has all the time in the world. But more relevantly, you still haven't made a case for why exploiting the game in your preferred way (Changing Continental capitals) should be easy.
Then you're really shooting yourself in the foot by bringing attention to that exploit here. An irrefutable reason to close exploits is that players get so used to playing with exploits that they demand other features of the game to be balanced around them. Which is what @BarrosRodrigues is doing in this thread.

@Wiz , I'm sure someone else has suggested this by now, but is there any way that you could limit Revanchism to non-Great Powers? (as in, the 25 point malus in relations kind of Great Powers). While you're at it, could you add an easy way to tell which countries are great powers? (probably just adding something to the ledger would be easiest)
EDIT: After looking up Great Powers, I discovered I have been misinterpreting what Great Powers are: Countries that currently have one of the highest (top ten?) score gain per month. What I meant was the top ten or twenty nations in score, not score per month.

Make a temporary modifier lasting about 20 years making development cost +40% or so
Rofl as if I cared, I was breaking the game back in 1.4 and I am still breaking it in 1.13 and I am sure I will find ways to break it in 1.14 too because that is what I like to do. My point is that one should not change the game without considering the possible side effects of each change. This is why most "fixes" usually open the door to other exploits.

This is BS. How about you remove lucky nations entirely? Replace it with something that at least attempts to be historically relevent. As it stands, lucky nations is the most lazy, ill thought out mechanic in your game.

How many times have you posted about it? You may have had a Dev's attention for a moment, but only because he found the case you made for balancing the game around your favorite exploit amusing for a moment.
Which highlights the fact that "exploits" or "breaking the game" is fine only until leaving them in runs counter to balancing the game.
Then you didn't make your point very well at all. The only the "side-effect" you care about is the one which makes it harder for you to use an exploit.

Not to be pedantic, but it's actually exactly as unrealistic, since money could to be used in equally magical ways before in earlier installments of the game [QUICKLY, INJECT TWENTY FIVE MILLION DUCATS INTO 1444 GRANADA TO TURN IT INTO NAPOLEONIC FRANCE LEVELS OF TECHNOLOGY].
The problem with you guys' approach is just that you crunched together areas of government that didn't actually quite overlap as much, such as diplomacy, naval warfare, and trade.
Also that you kept the system TOO tied to monarch rolls when instead it should have been more like a general metric of government/social efficiency in various areas.
Also the technology/idea group anti-synergy.
Also the use of military points for general generation [what a fun thing to say].
Also using military points rather than manpower to supress rebels.
Also the fact that the advisor system is not very fleshed out.
And various other minor tidbits, probably.

There you have a point, but it was not because this is my favourite exploit, moving the capital overseas is as legit as any other gameplay decision. I replied a few times and I am still here replying maybe because I like the game too much (...)
I don´t know who you think you are to say that.
As I said above moving the capital overseas is not an exploit, if the game rules sometimes make it OP for some countries that is another story.
No I just gave an example which showed that Wiz was wrong regarding the 1000 development and the capital move. But moving the capital is not always about reducing coring costs, sometimes it might be about survival or even rp. As already been said several times Portugal moved its capital to Brazil when the Portuguese court was in danger of being captured. Was Portugal exploiting too? Can we do that in-game?

I've got mixed feelings about this. On one hand, this is something the game definitely needed. On the other, it should be possible for a country to implode due to rebels after a devastating war.
PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT MAKE IT, SO THAT THE BETTER UI MOD DOES NOT WORK WITH IRONMAN!!!
Rather mediocre DD to be honest. Hopefully the one next week has more meat in it.
Yeah, big rich empires need all the help they can get.

As of the next patch, all mods will be ironman-compatible. What I believe you mean is to make it achievement-compatible.
Good job Wiz, good job. Now if we could talk one second about DYNAMIC COUNTRY NAMES and DYNAMIC FLAGS...
Just an easy matter of localisation string:
FRA: "France" --> The game will always use this for identify the nation no matter what government type it has, so no bugs or confusion.
ONLY in localisation string, with no gameplay other effects:
Code:
FRA_REP: "French Republic"
FRA_MON: "Kingdom of France"
FRA_DUC: "Duchy of France"
FRA_EMP: "French Empire"
Ofc the FLAG TAGS will be the FRA_REP.tga FRA_MON.tga and so on...If it isnt a priority for vanilla, give us modders at least the possibility to let those strings works.
Keep up the good work Wiz.
