Mamelukes and Innovative

[Slavv]

I'm playing as the Mamelukes with a friend and he claims that I'm supposed to go innovative with them because it causes them to have lots of flavor events. Is this true, or do all nations get plenty of flavor with Innovative?

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any unique events for the Mamlukes with innovative ideas. The idea group does have some great events though.

No special flavor from it, only pick if you value military ability in the mid game over expansion rate.

Innovative + muslim country gives -5 % idea cost, that's all.

Your friend seems to be talking out of ass I'd say

@Mr. G what causes that -5% idea cost? Is it a National Decision?

Muslim decision, "establish ibadat khana".

Other countries that get something special from Innovative ideas:

• Muslim tribal despotisms/kingdoms get an event to become a despotic/feudal monarchy if the Ottomans own Constantinople and have the caliphate ruler modifier)
  
• Sub-Saharan Africans (by capital location) who own at least one tropical province get a repeatable event with MttH 480 months that gives +40 ADM and +15 prestige.
  
• Sub-Saharan Africans (by culture) who own a slave-producing province and neighbour a slavery-permitting European country get an extra option in a certain event, allowing them to adopt the Abolition of Slavery Act even if they don't meet the requirements for the decision to do so.
