YESSS NEWW DEVASTATION MAPMODE TOO!

 

[Zwirbaum]

Ugh, percentages of percentages are so confusing. It would be easier for it to say: Backrow artillery now does 60% damage.

At least pdx is consistent with their inconsistency. (Is percentage additive? Mulitplicative? Which goes first? Etc?)

 

[Martynios]

Dynamic start?
Nerf to forts?
Less Liberty Desire?
Siberian States?

Yay!

 

[Incompetent]

BANNERS

Or the 50% larger version:

BANNERS

It's fine as long as additive vs multiplicative is clearly indicated. Sadly Paradox games usually don't do that.

Russia: +20 States

No military bonus to Russia? 1700-1821 is a period when Russia won tons of wars against Ottos, Sweden, Persia, France and Prussia. Russia deserves military boost.

 

[chrisisarea]

I don't think its right to even more buff the Prussian space marines into the late game. We all know how much pain an Prussia could be, especially in MPs. I Agree with Mormegil that Russia deserves Military Boni, prior to the Prussian or anyone else in that Era.

Someone's been watching Les Miserables.

20 states is a huge bonus to economy, more ducats more army. Seems legit that the bonus to russia concerns the quantity rather than the quality.

What is the cow skull map mode?

 

[Baron Tob]

I wonder if this Age system is a reaction against the previous patches where the game became very alt history. Like, will this add more historical structure to the game, or will this allow more hilariously ridiculous results? Can't wait to find out!

It doesn't help, when Russia can barley get into that position to have an use of that. Russia already needing a Buff in Military since years.

 

[Melorian]

Hmmm? Age tied to institution spawn? Did I miss that and it's like this for all ages now, or is this just an exception? Would be awesome.

 

[Red Death]

What is the cow skull map mode?

Probably a Devastation mapmode.

 

[Willem IV]

Age of Reformation starts 10 years after Protesthantism spawns.
Age of Absolutism 10 years after Global Trade (IIRC)
Age of Reformation 10 years after Enlightment.

yes, its seems like huge, but Russia won't really need it by the start of 18th century. If played well, it is already giant monster with endless trade income and hordes of soldiers by that time. Or it is already destroyed by that time if play in MP / by AI.

My concern is about a little historal accuracy.

 

[Metroidkirby]

emove distance check for coring.

Does this mean that you can core any province of the world? seems great

 

[Dobber10]

I feel GB got the short end of the stick here with 25% cheaper naval maintenance. Otherwise I like the bonuses of this age, especially the +3 siege on artillery.
