EUIV - Development Diary - 3rd of March 2020

[jacobr540]

Not certain how I feel about the Unify Islam decision changing my countries name to 'Caliphate'. I like the idea of retaining my tags name but also want the bonuses. Would it be possible to perhaps have it as a dynamic name, so that if I unify Islam as the Ottomans for example I am called the 'Ottoman Caliphate'?

Edit: With regards to the Kingdom of God modifiers, while I agree that tier 3 might not be the best placement I think the upgrade to Empire rank is often undervalued and I'd want to see the other mechanics they hinted at before criticising it as not being powerful enough.

 

[Stekovtun]

What about an event for countries with the Empire govt rank that would rename them to "[Adj] Empire" i.e Byzantine Empire, Ottoman Empire, Mughal Empire, etc.
And then an event that would rename them back if the lose the govt rank somehow.

Good idea it would remove such nonsense as possibiblity of duchy-rank Roman Empire

 

[Knight of Nii]

Does this mean dynamic names can be modded in now?

 

[fr-rein]

Austria was called the Austrian Empire until they had to give in to Hungarian demands so that the empire wouldn't fall apart. Not exactly something you would triumphantly declare.

It's fine since such memetic mission and probably achievement can allow you to choose to pick up Australia name. You don't have to agree to it, but some optional stupidity on top of silliness (Austria going to Australia of all places) wouldn't be any bad as an option.

Hi Paradox developers
Why not work on the mechanics of the Great War?
This game should be such that we can choose our own war tacs
And not by chance
Why you did'nt answer me
I said it again
Is it possible for you to work on combat tactics?
And wars are no longer a chance

 

[Syayan]

Wonderful features!
I'm glad the estate change was still a thing. I thought it was killed since we haven't heard of it for so long!

 

[Temudhun Khan]

I think the Caliphate (and the Feudal Theocracy government, although I think the Caliphate would need it's very own government form...) should be one of two options, the other one being to change your name for Dar al-Islam instead.

No been working a lot on it and it gotten several revisions and that's why we haven't talked much about it.

I don't really understand what you are trying to say. But at least for chance influence in combat for EU4 is by design that early game that the dice have a larger impact but that impact diminishes over time as the military modernizes.

 

[Rudolf Nechvile II]

YES! This is great! Thank you so much.

If you're feeling extra generous, would you consider adding a "change_country_color" effect as well? Would be nice to be able to recolor, rename and change ideas of tags as pseudo-formables, without needing to have more tags in the game.

Changing country colour would also be nice for your colonial nations, as they don't change colour when you form a new country.

 

[Martin_Mortyry]

Non-revolutionary tag name change? Neat! Can we expect the orders and perhaps the tags named after dynasties get some conditional name changes in the future updates? There's something really smelly about republican Livonian Order.

 

[Syayan]

The Papal State will still always be the papal controller after you enacted the decision of the Kingdom of God?
Or the election system remains?

 

[$ODa]

If taken you will now become known as The Caliphate

Can we be known as the "The Ottoman Caliphate" or the "The Osmanoglu Caliphate"? Instead? Just "The Caliphate" sounds weird, almost like calling GBR "The Empire".

 

[the glory of plain]

not sure if feudal theocracy are the best choice
maybe some special government reform more like Indian sultanate?

 

[Dsingis]

Something which a lot of you have been waiting for a long time and are as hyped up for as I am.

Release date? Dev Clash? A.. a girlfriend?

 

[grommile]

Feudal Theocracy creates a significant disincentive to do it as the country best placed to do it.

I suppose one could lock the Livonian Order (as well as Teutonic Order) to monastic order government until they take the option to secularize to Kurland (or Prussia in case of the Teutonic Order). That way, there's no need for additional tag name changes, since Livonian Order can only refer to the tag being ruled by a monastic order, and any change to the government type would necessitate a secularization into Kurland, a tag which has a name reflecting the geographical region their state encompasses, and thus can represent any other government type.

My question today is about the Portuguese Fuziliers Flagship bonus.
I assume it wont remain the same?
Will it buff the Marines, since it seems Portugal Gameplay will be focused better marines and navy?

 

[MasterPaw]

About The Caliphate being weird, I don't agree.
I believe the point here is to legitimize this caliphate as being the one and only Caliphate. Because you are the caliphate of every Muslim, you emphasize that you have no spiritual rival, there is no other caliphate so no need to specify which one you are.
But because a lot of people seem to dislike it, why not simply having an event on formation allowing you to choose your name between The Caliphate and the Ottoman Caliphate (having dynasty name in it could also be good as a choice).

Would you update near east in next patch after 1.30, I would love to see a zoroastrian persia or new missions and ideas for ethiopia and arabic countries ^^ and some mechanics for judaism
