the armenia ideas are preety dull.The first 2 ideas are practically useless in early game
 
How about some reformed horde NI's, please!

Hausan ideas are pretty damn sweet.
 
My little review.

Armenia is - along Georgia - the weakest NI set for me, but I am still happy Caucasus has some love ;)

Wales is IMHO a bit... unnecessary. It is two prov tag which almost never exists nor has any significance + it's ideas are quite meh. Stability Cost Modifier: -20.0% is the best here, other than that: no miliary neither trade nor naval bonuses, no clear focus.

Guarani ideas are okay and I am happy they are represented in EU4, although nothing too crazy here. Infantry Combat Ability, MP and Tolerance are the best here.


HOWEVER!

:0000000 this is by far one of the most unique countries in Americas. Cavalry Indians of Argentina - I really like them.




Although I am still nervous about Mutapa, Kilwa and Khmer...
 
How is +2% missionary strength useless when your surrounded by Orthodox, Sunni and shiites? 0.o


and how are you supposed to survive,to convert ?
 
Christ, when I have checked wiki I have discovered Armenia existed pre - AOW. And I have never ever ever seen it myself or on any screenshoots (and have viewed hundreds of Strange Screenshoots from their thread).

Which along these ideas being not - so - good means we will never see Armenia unless player intervenes in Caucasus :p
 
Wales :D

I'd still like to see more ideas for South-East Asian nations though. There's still some decent sized countries without ideas. Lan Xang particularly stands out.
 
Hooray for Cambria and Armenia :)
 
Those Hausan ideas have some very nice synergies! Go diplomatic ideas and economic ideas and add plutocratic and trade. You will be set up for building a diplomatic-, trade- and building-focused empire of proportions! This could make for a pretty unique style of play. I love it!

Particularly Guarani and to a lesser degree Charrua is also having some good things going.
