Didn't know bout that, thanks for reference

When are new Serbian ideas comming, I cant wait to see those

Serbian ideas are not new, just boosted. A number of nations with weak idea sets were brought more in line with everyone else.

I don't think Prussia stopped being "Prussian" when it became the German Empire. They likely identified themselves as Germans onwards but they were still very Prussian in nature. Furthermore, when you get a large number of nations that're able to form a particular union (for example Germany), how do you decide whose idea set to use as that particular union's ideas? What about the HRE? That's a Germanic union that can be formed by any Catholic nation in the game.

I would even argue that the empire of 1871 was more Prussia taking over the rest of Germany than it was a cultural union of the different german groups (one might argue that most of the distinction between Bavarian/Swabian/Saxon/... died with German Nationalism, anyway). For Germany I would find it absolutely logical that the formation decision fires an event that gives the option to keep your current idea set (like 1871, arguably) or adopt a new germanic one that reflects the variety of a nation that stretches from the Baltic to the Alps (and maybe shows that Germany in EU4 was more than a battlefield for the great powers around it).

Will the Livonian Order get any unique ideas, too?

 

[Mauer]

I never thought I'd see the day Chimu got it's own ideas.

Please! They are a very interesting nation, and while you are there you can buff Courland's ideas too!

Please, tell me that you got rid of Aragon's and Bavaria's -cost for reducing Inflation.

I kind of like the Chachapoya ideas, extra fort defense and attrition can be quite brutal if combined with defensive ideas (and probably mountains/jungle), the build power/money cost is pretty usefull too.
The extra advisor allso helps getting better advisors.

Being a Nepalese American I was sorely disappointed in the huge nerf to their otherwise awesome NI's a couple patches back.

I would be one happy camper if they were on the list of buffed nations!

And thanks for all the hard work Wiz and the rest of the Paradox team!

Could we have a list of boosted NIs?

 

[slicknexus]

will Arabia get its own national idea group ?

 

[Dakilla TM]

Please tell me you buffed Kurland! Right now that nation is not worth forming at all, since its NIs are so weak compared to its neighbors!

Chimu's early ideas aren't awful for an Inca-forming run (assuming Chimu can form it and there isn't an absurd ADM 10 req). Tax for mercs and minus unrest to keep rebels from wrecking you after your first conquests.

But hopefully Cusco gets its own! (or maybe Cusco just gets the godly Incan ideas, Inti willing)
