Improvement for the Nation Designer

[Zak Preston]

Would be nice if Host in MP game could set limit for Custom Nation points more flexibly with 50 interval, for example: 50 - 100 - 150 - ... - 750 - 800 while in SP difficulty level would be determined by interval (50 - V.Hard, 100 - Hard, 150-200 - Normal, 250-400 - Easy, 450-800 - V.Easy)

It doesn't look like my suggestion made it, unless you forget about it.

It's like how players will exploit loopholes in mechanics to make money and view that as regular gameplay, when the effects are no different than opening the console and typing 'cash'.

Like the cultural tradition and advisor spam with magistrates with poor nations in EU3.

Then you're in a minority, but that's beside the point.

People commonly complain that some games are too easy, usually because they are poorly balanced (player is too strong relative to his enemies) or poor design. Players could make it harder for themselves by using self-imposed restrictions like playing with one hand. But that wouldn't make the game more fun.

Take all of the FPSes that have basically god mode enabled by default (or what they call auto regen). You could make them harder by shutting down your PC/console every time you take a hit. Would that make theses games better ? not really.

A game must be fun, balanced and well designed from the beginning, even at the expense of player freedom. Player freedom can be enhanced by mods. Especially in EU4 making a mod such as a new country is dreadfully easy (although it can be quite menial to get all the province IDs)

I seriously doubt you know who is in a minority. Certainly this forum can't be a good representation of the actual playerbase. Don't forget, forums tend to draw mostly show-offs. People that care about stats and achievements for example.

The things you say about fun, balance and well designed are completly subjective, they can not be seen as real arguments. As is your example with playing with just one hand. For me, there are those who care about achievements, and those who simply like to play the game the way they like it. For the first you can implement all kind of restrictions, otherwise the achievements don't count. For the latter, the game should try to give as much freedom as possible, but the possibility to turn things on and off. But that is just my view.

Something minor but have more cultures and religions been added to the nation design?

If I recall correctly a few are missing, like those linked to Crusader Kings II and other 'rare' ones.

What I would love to see the most is more of a "custom scenario builder" than just a custom *nation* builder. I would want to be able to add formable nations through this, cores that belong to already existing custom nations, make a nation a vassal of another nation, make a region belong to another religion instead of the default of it ALL being right-religion land, and that kind of stuff...
Also, werent there some other religions added in the CSB in 1.14? Like, uh, Hellenic? I want this the most... XD

Another thing, will it be possible to set the culture/religion of non-capital provinces?
