Yes, I do believe regents shall be available in EUIII under certain circumstances. I read it somewhere, but I forget where. I'll have a look and post here if I find it

Because the monarch couldn't/wouldn't dictate otherwise, Harvard
But if you have no regency, the monarch is totally in charge anyway.mandead said:Because the monarch couldn't/wouldn't dictate otherwise, Harvard
The reason there are limitations is gameplay. And from Johan's quote in that diary you see that a regency have limited powers compared to a monarch, not extended...

Yeah, I saw that
Hopefully, the various different government types will have different powers. What kind of things would these be?
How would a Merchant Republic differ from a Feudal Monarchy, for example?

Yeah, I know about that
I mean, I wonder if there are any limitations, or extra things, that a republic has over a monarchy in the same way as (we are told) a regency has inherant disadvantages over a monarchy.
Three examples of the top of my head:Havard said:Why should regencies have the opportunity to impose more radical changes?
- Richard Duke of York offing his nephews, getting rid of the Woodvilles (the Queen's family) and becoming King.
- The French Duke of Orleans taking France from fighing with Spain to establish Philip V i the Treay of Utrecht (1713) to war in Spain in 1720.
- Scots had about 5,000,000 regents in the period 1452-1600ish doing pretty much whatever they pleased.
- I am not familiar with Swedish history, but wasnt there an event where Oxenstierna gets to do what he pleases/ continue with GIIA's policies during the regency of Christina?
Having an underage monarch has always been a bad thing i don't think it makes sense that wen you get a regency you would say "Wow a 2 year old boy is King with John as regent i can now improve my country 10 fold". Now that doesnt make sense. And if that doesn't make sense you must aqcuit (random south park quote).
Yes of course, I am assuming regents come with inherent instability. Changing governments/ DP sliders would bring long term benefits but would add to the immediate instability.Markusw7 said:
