If I'm not mistaken Afghanistan starts as a releasable state in 1444. So no Ironman Afghanistan for us
Is it formable in any way?

Otherwise awesome ideas except for the diplomatic reputation. Unless the diplomatic reputation bonuses have changed.

 

[Arag]

I really love the seventh idea, Graveyard of Empires indeed.

 

[Closet Skeleton]

Afghanistan is in later start dates.

If Afghanistan and Georgia are both getting rubbish +1 diplomatic reputation does this mean that diplo-rep has been reduced across the board like discipline was or do these two countries just suck?

 

[delpiero1234]

Why the heck do you have to give so many countries +100% core creation cost ideas?

 

[Sabra]

Graveyard of Empires: +1 Hostile Attrition

Hahaha, thats awesome.


2Delpiero: Maybe because it does make sense at some countries?

Afghanistan

YES!!!

Nice

[*]Pashtunwali: -10% War Exhuastion Cost

well this one is meh

[*]Shadows of the Hindu Kush: +25% Defensiveness

I like Defensiveness

[*]Tureh: +20% Manpower

Nice

[*]Afghan Diaspora: +1 Diplomatic Reputation

Lol next nation with +1 Diplo Reputation? This is so small modifier, maybe it is changed in AOW?...

[*]Durrani Imperialism: +15% Cavalry Power

Very good bonus.

[*]Institutionalised Loya Jirga: +1 Legitimacy

Very good.

[*]Graveyard of Empires: +1 Hostile Attrition

Nice

Ambitions
+100% Hostile Core Creation

Generally speaking those NIs are nice but I think their chronological order is very strange. +100% Hostile Core Creation should be rather in Traditions (along with Attrition). Still: I like those.

+1 diplo rep is the new standard in AoW, equivalent to +3 before but with more uses as it now affects diploannex speed once more.

O_O thanks for the response - now it all makes sense!

 

[Gaussia]

As many have noted some countries (three now?) have got the ridiculously usless bonus +1 Dip Rep. Might it not suggest that Dip Rep have been changed in some way to make it more useful?

Otherwise all nations have recived quite good ideas (skipping -10% reduce WE, would rather have +1 Dip Rep as it is now).

 

[1alexey]

+1 diplo rep is the new standard in AoW, equivalent to +3 before but with more uses as it now affects diploannex speed once more.

So no more Austria with 15+ diplo rep?

Jesus, man, read one post below yours...

Fantastic. I'm assuming this means -1 Dip point per month consumed for every point of Diplomatic Repuation while diplo-annexing?

 

[Gaussia]

Jesus, man, read one post below yours...

I was writing when he posted, which should be quite obvious.

 

[atestarossa]

Defensiveness coupled with extra attrition (+ defensive ideas perhaps?) sounds like invading them will be really tough. I'm all for!
