Thanks for the reply!
Has the team looked into logistic curves? They seem perfect for this sort of thing.

Crusader Kings III Available Now!
The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
One last question from me about tech:
Is there a max level/cap of the advancements, which provide innovation points? E.g. if my faction reaches lvl 20 in martial advances, there will be no additional innovation point gained afterwards, because you can only gain 20 points per advancement type.
Or would it be theoretically possible to get 1000 innovation points, if I could manage to research that fast.

Looks great, I do have an issue with adding even more micro tags, an issue I've had since release is vassal swarming and it seems that the smaller the tag is the larger their army is in relation, so adding more of these small guys will just making conquering so much more tedious. Another issue is that micro tags never seem to spend money so once you go to war with them they each have like infinite money and can spam mercs at you.
For example going down to africa to fight carthage, if they have 100k men ready to face you, their vassals combined have like another 50k + mercs, same issue with greece and they're all in mountains too which makes it even more tedious.

I think it would be an interesting addition to maybe add more types of diplomatic gimmicks. I love and support the changes that are currently being added but I feel that diplomatic aspect of the game feels lacking. The great powers tier list from eu4 seems like an interesting mechanic to be put into imperator and it seems historically accurate which makes the game more competitive. Also it would be great to see options such as releasing nations and religious conversion CBs. Additionally I would suggest adding historical rivals modifiers for relations between nations to make the AI more historically aligned in terms of alliances. It became too easy for me a s Rome to ally Carthage. With these improvements I feel like the game would be very well rounded. Other than that I really like the direction in which the game is heading. Great Job!

I guess that with plateau in global population growth you mean there were not significant accelerations or decelerations in the growth rate?

Its worth considering how the changes to manpower, recruitment and pops will interact with this.
Small vassals may well be confined to using only a levy, and only one character as general - sometimes one with martial prowess, sometimes not.
Additionally, prolonged use of these levies will leave these vassals in the dust for income and manpower recovery. Also, if combat losses end up killing their pops, that may significantly impact both their economy and the size of their levies.
... there are a lot of moving parts to consider regarding this stuff though, so i dont know.

Many people would like to see an update on diplomacy (maybe it will be the one after 2.0?). But we already have a tier list of "great" powers in I:R and I like the one from I:R more than the one from EU IV. Releasing nations maybe can be improved, but it's at least possible to release provinces. I'm not sure on the religious CB as it wasn't really a thing in the antiquity - only monotheists were at that time of the game somewhat suspicious to the polytheists, but not really a CB. So it would be anachronistic, if this would be a major thing for everybody. I guess with 2.0 we have some solution for the missing rivalry with the changed AI behavior (according to the screenshots from Twitter)
But there should be more diplomacy actions, a better subject system and tying characters somehow into diplomacy more (but in a non-tedious way). But now I stop getting off topic

There's no explicit cap, though it'll get harder to acquire tech levels as time goes on, with ahead of time penalties.

Thats still pretty cool. You can still get tech if you play past the enddate then for example instead of being done at tech 20 and not having any new inventions.

The thing about having growth proportional to existing number of pops is that we have necessarily eliminited death.
You will only spiral out with numbers if your grown pops don't die. And I think... our Pops don't die. So Pop growth is still something one-directional instead of staying more-or-less the same number.
Increased size of population will give you more dead people each year. So they may just cancel out after all.
Well if the games end date is to ever be extended even a little bit, there would certainly need to be such a mechanic. And not just from external factors, but internal ones too. Even simple succession wars should have the potential to weaken an empires authority and give rise to regional kingdoms/warlords.
Things like plagues and famines were also very destabilizing events for society, but aren't in the game.
