Giving an idea to Client states/Colonial nations

[ahyangyi]

I am thinking about the following idea: when you create a CN or a CS, you can "give" one of your current national ideas to it as one of its traditions.

For example,

• France creates French Canada. It gives its Elan! to French Canada, replacing the +10% Trade efficiency tradition. The end result is a Canada that sucks a bit at trading but excels at combat.
• Ottomans creates a client state. It gives its -33% core-creation cost tradition to it, replacing the +10% morale one. That client state gets -43% core-creation cost as its tradition, as it inherits the best part of Ottoman administration.

Of course there are many opportunities to imbalance things or create weird tactics... But I still think it sounds fun. It allows client states and colonial states created by different countries to differ a bit, but still keep their own flavor.

I like the idea but it wouldn't be balanced IMO so I don't know.
Maybe only tradition would be taken from overlord but that would break the balance of colonial powers too I guess.

Yeah. I like this idea so much that I feel I have to post it here. On the other hand I know how broken it is so I am not even expecting them to implement it.
Still, I wish someone can come up with a better idea upon seeing this.
