Inflation

[unmerged(64779)]

I have played the demo and are waiting for the game!!!
But I miss one thing in the demo, inflation? Will there be no inflation in EU3????

There is inflation, it functions precisely the same way as in EU2. Look for it in your budget screen.

I have some question about this
Whats the best move to deal with it? do you must avoid it at all cost or got a certain tolerance toward it?
Thanks

If you can, the best thing is to avoid it. 20% inflation means that every thing you do is 20% more expensive. I'm not very good at handling this though...

In EU 2 I tryed to avoid it at any cost, it was working good for me

Best way is to avoid it. But you can always decrease it through buildings, national ideas and events

In EU2 it was generally best to take some inflation if you had a good enough use for the money. Whether there are similarly good investments in EU3 remains to be discovered.

Thanks!
I really enjoied eu3 , i played eu2 a little and the inflation thing was the thing made me give up this game =/

Avoid this seems to hard , each time i want to do it i end up with loosing money each month specially when i have tried muscowy and i needed to support army in the war.
It seems that once you are in a war it is impossible to avoid it , exept if you raise war taxe?(and what does war taxe do exept give you more money?)
So far , the national idea wich make you reduce it seems a nice move specially if you got gold mine (wich raise your inflaton no?)

If someone got tip , its welcome , thanks agin

Inflation is overestimated , having 2-3% was ok since you could get deflation and other random events with cash.
Minting is required when you play a colonizer like lets say Portugal , as the "big heads" of the forum explained to me long time before, well invested minted money are worth more than any inflation, plus you can reach infra level 5 at worst in mid 1550's.

The problem is too many players lose their patience waiting for the end of year income and draw a lot constantly from monthly ones.

cheers

Inflation is not a problem in a most of major countries (may be, except of first years). Just never assign a monthly income into treasure. Every 1st january you got annual tax. You must spend it all in january (buy regiments, ships, etc). So, in february you treasury must be empty. Dont worry about it. When you have no money, they automatically assigned for army/navy supply from you month income without inflation.

I.e. inflation is depends of treasury slider only, and it dont depend of real assignation to treasury. It work both in EU2 and EU3.

Of course, in some cases you need money right now, not in the end of year. Especially in multiplayer. When you play as minor country and at war with strong enemy, when you must repay loan in the middle of year, or some other things. And this is a good idea to save 2 - 3% inflation to good random events.

How can you send merchants etc as you get them during the year if you empty your treasury every january?

It makes no sense to me that inflation rises if you set your treasury income to balance with your expenses but does not rise if the same amount of money is drawn automatically because your treasury is empty.

In the game begin I sending all merchants in january. Usually I have lless then 6 (5 in EU3) mercant per year. But If I have 1 or 2 surplus - I dont care about them, becouse trade in that time is not very profitable.

In the middle game (after first 100 - 150 years) I become rich and can save some money to send them in july, or I can send all income in 1 month into cash (it rise inflation to 0,08%).

It makes no sense to me that inflation rises if you set your treasury income to balance with your expenses but does not rise if the same amount of money is drawn automatically because your treasury is empty.

I agree, its no logic. But its work.
