Questions arisen from the Demo

[Achim Detjen]

-What mapmode shows my cores and/or claims?
-Why does it seem so cumbersome to open the province building browser?
-Is it impossible to change National Ideas? (The ones you choose, not the Nation specific one) Naval iedas seem like a bad choice for the Ottomans.

I remember some DevDiary said that no.

But I wonder what happens if you get Plutocracy ideas as republic and then become monarchy.

1. Diplomatic
2. use the building/hiring UI instead

-What mapmode shows my cores and/or claims?

The "diplomatic" one, accessible via the shortcut "y" and by clicking on the relevant country.

-Why does it seem so cumbersome to open the province building browser?

You can always use the ledger for the same purpose. The overlay is a tad slower but convenient to assess opportunities.

-Is it impossible to change National Ideas? (The ones you choose, not the Nation specific one) Naval iedas seem like a bad choice for the Ottomans.

It's impossible to national ideas.

Naval ideas are as bad for Ottos as trade ideas are bad for Venice.

Naval is good when the Ottomans want to expand towards the west / go for the islands. If they instead go east or north, they don't need that navy power.

Something more geared toward national stability/lower revolt risk/religious conversion would have been a better pic for starting Ottomans.

I agree, but the naval idea is still good for Ottomans that want to regain their cores from Byzantium etc in 14something.

Sure, but not in 1492.

You can't change national ideas, so it wouldnt be realistic to give them an idea suitable for 1492 when another idea was more suitable in 1444.

From a purely historical perspective I can agree hat giving the Ottomans a Naval Idea-set at start makes sense. But for somebody who prefers sandbox-games I would like to have been able to swap it.
I sure hope there will be an editor for the hardcoded national ideas too, for custom games, like what HoI3 got.
