Is the "Call Diet" supposed be nothing but a button press?

So the Estates system is an unfinished feature? Ok, I hope to see it more fleshed out in the next major patch, and perhaps give us more control and decision making over the estates. I was hoping it would give us something to do during peacetime/internal politics instead of it being a somewhat random and annoying balancing act.

I wouldnt say "unfinished" it can be and will be improve in the same way the Nation Designer and RNW have been improved but they worked at launch just like Estates.

The really awkward thing about the design is that it's only really a balancing act if you're conquering land of your own religion.

If you're conquering heathens, it's a cakewalk, because your new conquests enter your possession estate-free.

Oh really?

This is why we can't have nice things.

Everyone hates when developers get cagey and go into PR mode, but people like you are exactly the reason that happens. Stuff changes, features get pushed, maybe something in development doesn't work out as planned. I like when developers are very straightforward about this stuff, but they can't be because of people who will get super upset because they feel slighted when they don't get what they were "promised".

You're misrepresenting him there. Nobody has suggested that Paradox made a bad decision in scaling back on their ambition in the circumstances set out by @Wiz . What they have said is that Paradox should have advised that they had had to change things and, to his credit, @Wiz has admitted that they should have done that. Everybody on this thread is broadly in agreement so there's no sign of developers getting "cagey" or players getting "super upset".

Free.

Enough for me.

If the functionality has been cut, shouldn't you have hidden the button, too?

The Call Diet button claims to consume five prestige and give the Nobility estate +10 influence and +10 loyalty for 20 years.

As such, it still does something and can be allowed to exist.

Free.

Nope. Not "free". It´s "already paid".

I see, thanks. Haven't played 1.14 yet.

I was wondering what had happened with that, but just brushed it off. I didn't think it was terribly important.
