Let us change our ideas description in Nation Designer!

Let us change our ideas description in Nation Designer! (And other ideas)

Suggestion 1

I liked how you could choose your own ideas for your own nation in the latest expansion, but it would be really nice if we could also change the description for our ideas!

For example, in the image below:

We should be allowed to change the text with our own words, giving ideas a little more customization. I want to do this with the nations that I design so my friends can see what ideas I've made for them!

If there is a way to do this, please tell me how, otherwise I suggest this, thanks.

Suggestion 2

I would like to save my custom nations since I don't have time to add all of them. I like to go into detail with each of these nations. So I would like to add some nations at a period of time, save it then come back and add some more, repeating this process until I can finish it off.

Since El Dorado just got released I think this would be a great feature for custom nations, also I'm not sure about this but if we could have an infinite number of custom nations that would be great, I like to be artistic. (I'm doing this for a different community of mine)

But please add a save feature, having to add all of them at once and not being able to edit them after saving in-game with them is pretty unfortune!

Suggestion 3

When we create custom nations, we should be allowed to choose their rivals, allies, personal union partners, marches, vassals ect this can be done with other custom nations. Giving us more customization.

Suggestion 4 Allow us to create events like those in game, we can type the game, give conditions for the event to fire, ect.

+1 there is no good reason for this not existing

 

[Sharples88]

Thanks guys, I'm going to keep updating this.

 

[Wizzington]

Yep, this'll happen.

Would it then be possible to have multiple of the same idea effect? Currently you can only have, say, one colonist idea. I assume this is because of the names? So if this changes maybe it would be possible to have two +1 colonist ideas for a country?
I realize I could just make a +2 colonist idea but I try to make it at least somewhat balanced

No, because then you could stack something like +50% discipline for a modest cost. Nothing to do with names.

 

[Sharples88]

Yep, this'll happen.

Thanks Wiz!

I think there should be a section dedicated to just customization. Having as many nations as you want, without balance mattering. This of course should only be playable in Single-Player (unless people in MultiPlayer want such other-wise).

Also, it would be nice if we could have kings at the age of 15 rather than limiting them at 20. I know you can have hiers but you can still be crowned king at 15 in the game. I'm not saying this will be abusable so I suggest making a creativity mode suggested above.

I also have another suggestion. We have limited options with flags, what if we we're able to import images from our hard-drive into the game? You wouldn't be allowed to customize it since you just imported it in, so you say for example download the current German flag from the internet, put it in your hard-drive and be able to import that image into the flag as a german minor (or an entirely new country).

Oh, alright. You couldn't make some sort of scaled cost so two separate colonist +1 costs the same as colonist +2?

 

[net.split]

It should actually cost a little less in that case, because you're spending two idea slots to do it.

Still it's really weird and functionally solved through idea levels, so I can't imagine that trying to implement and balance and test such a thing would have much priority.

 

[highsis]

Yep, this'll happen.

Are you referring to all 3 suggestions? I really really hope so. Being able to set vassal, PU and other relations in nation designer will make it even better than ruler designer in CK2.

That said, I hope CK2 ruler designer is updated to allow creation of new characters and setting relationships with existing house; The latter is already possible in GOT mod.

No, because then you could stack something like +50% discipline for a modest cost. Nothing to do with names.

I think your balanced bonuses could be retained, add up all levels of a bonus and calc point-cost on the total.

In the case of discipline a max of 4 can be distributed across a nation

Of course, would then have to add a cost to the lvl 1 (lvl 1 now free), and/or increase cost of having 2 bonuses on same slot

 

[highsis]

Also want setting historical rivals/friends.

 

[SacredDatura]

Being able to save your custom nations/scenarios would be great.

I got home late last night and spent four hours last night on the custom world option (? that Civ-style empty map where everyone starts with a colonist) tweaking and positioning a bunch of custom nations, down to making sure neighbouring nations' colors don't clash, and then because it was 3AM I accidentally click on the 'back' button and all my work was wiped in an instant.

Anyway, glad to hear that editable flavor texts for the ideas are coming.

 

[Sharples88]

Bump, how about removing the rebellion areas in the map? Such as Gotland. I colonized it and immediately rebels spawned. There doesn't seem to be a button to remove them.
