New patch, new campaign. Custom nation ideas

[Shushen]

So a new patch awaits and with that its time to get back into the game.

This time i will try out a custom nation since that is now supported with achievements (I mostly only play the game to get achievements nowadays) and I have never used a custom nation before.

I think I will go for the Norse one. And with that comes decisions.

A. what ideas will I choose? I think i want some core creation reductions, some discipline possibly missionaries as i want to spread the Norse. but so many choices.

B. Where will i start? replace Denmark? Sweden? or i could start out in England and take advantage of the English getting in their usual troubles.

Any tips or your own ideas on what to do with custom nations in the new patch?

Be hardcore, start as Gotland.

My draft custom nation for this achievement is currently looking like this (subject to change due to any changes in the nation builder and the noble republic government type in 1.14);

• Government Type: Noble Republic
• Ruler: 0/0/0, 20 Years old
• Tech Group: Eastern
• Provinces: Lothian, Ayeshire, Fife, Aberdeen
• Traditions: Infantry Combat Ability (+10%, Level 2), Morale of Armies (+15%, Level 3)
• Idea 1: War Exhaustion (-0.05/month, Level 1)
• Idea 2: Yearly Army Tradition (+1.0/year, Level 2)
• Idea 3: Core-Creation Cost (-10%, Level 2)
• Idea 4: Discipline (+5%, Level 2)
• Idea 5: Naval Maintenance Modifier (-10%, Level 2)
• Idea 6: Missionary Strength (+2%, Level 4)
• Idea 7: Yearly Republican Tradition (+0.5/year , Level 1)
• Ambitions: Culture Conversion Cost (-20%, Level 4)

Though I might change my mind and take up the challenge of a Gotlander start.
