National Ideas revision to make them more unique and make use of new effects

[Me_]

Some thoughts on spicing up some old National Ideas

Burgundy

Promote the Estates General – why exactly does this one give mercenaries, anyway?
To make it more fitting, add an extra effect effect - +10% Nobles loyalty

Integrate the Towns in the Estates General
Add extra effect – Merchants loalty +10%

This combined would give Burgundy an uniqe position of being able to utilize estates better.

Milan

The Age of the Condottieri need I explain?
Add Possible Condottieri +20%

Rulership through Enlightened Principals doesn't this sound like an advisor idea, plusI admit, I hate -10% stability
Replace with +1 available advisors and -10% advisor cost

Florence/Tuscany

Condottieri again, need I explain?
Add Possible Condottieri +20%

Italian minors

Italian Condottieri once again, need I explain?
Add Possible Condottieri +20%

Aragon

Consolidation of the Estates because I hate -10% stability cost filler ideas
add +5% Nobles Clergy and Merchants loyalty

Oman

Any idea, really as they are overall focused on sea
Add Global Ship Trade Power +10%

Mughals

The Jagir and Mansabdari Systems
Add -5% liberty desire on same continent to encourage them to have vassals

Control over the Clergy
Replace with -10% state maintenance cost, because some big nation should make use of this and -10% reducing war exhaustion cost is utter crap

Zaporozhie

Hetmanate
+5% Cossack discipline I don't actually know if this effect exists.

Persia

Support the Qizilbash
Add war taxes cost -10% should make early Persia a bit mor threatening

Korea

Geobukseon
Add global naval engagement modifier +5%, bacause just 5% durability is crap

Ceylon

Pearl of the Indian Ocean
Add placed merchant power +5, because someone should be using this modifier and it would be too powerful in Europe

If they add that modifier, I'd like to see it changeable with different religious groups/custom religious groups. Something like
allow_marriages_other_groups = {
group = muslim/pagan/custom religious group
}
It also might help to also give trebizond an idea that removes or negates some of the penalties for the opinion and diplomatic actions with muslim nations.

 

[Me_]

Just realized that -X% state maintenance is only used by Moravia and +X states by Yuan.

I also thiunk that reduced cost of state edicts could be added.

 

[saegoto]

new ideas:

no prestige penalty require for personal union OR allowed 10 prestige less than the target

25% power projection gain

+1 no maintenance penalty for a colony without a colonist

 

[Me_]

Reduced artillery cost is a surprisingly rare idea - only Russia and Smolensk have it. Meanwhile there are dozens of nations with reduced infantry or cavalry cost.

Sailors recovery is just for England and Estonia.

No nation has an idea that would reduce the cost of embracing institutions. Perhaps one of the Italian or Low Countries nation could have it added.

 

[saegoto]

dutch Embrace Humanizm could have -33% embrace intitiution cost instead of heretic tolerance

no nation has global ship engagement. Very important naval modifier

 

[Me_]

No nation has reduced cost of "Reduce inflation" action. I know it's more straightforward to just give -X inflation/year, but the effect exists and is used by one of the Innovative ideas.

 

[Me_]

Anglican religion is the only thing that uses the innovativeness_gain effect. While innovativeness is DLC-licked, it could just be given a replacement effect for those without the DLC or be made a secondary effect of certain ideas.
I also think that Cost of advisors with ruler's religion could become a thing, also perhaps some modifier on Professionalism, like increased effect from Professionalism-increasing actions. If only for the Nation designer.

I'd be happy to see more use of non-numeric ideas, such as Hungary's Estates General. For example, change a diplomatic reputation idea into one that does not trigger the Annexed Subjects event & modifier.
