There should be some way of spending insanly high amounts of money to increase prestige for the time you can afford it (think Louis XIV of France).

E.g. a modifier/ ticked box: 'sustains an extensive and lavish court'
- 10 Ducats per month
+ 40 prestige (as long as the box or whatever is ticked)

That just give a bonus to very big nations, and very big nations really don't need any more bonuses. So it is a disagree for me, sorry.

Well, the game needs more money sinks.

My suggestion is not necessarily directed towards big nations, just rich ones.

Well you can build buildings now for no power cost, so that is something to do if you have a lot of money, also level 2 or 3 advisers, and if you can afford level 3 advisers you should have a lot of monarch points witch you can use for development so you can build more buildings, and if you still have a lot of money go over your force limit.

So i would not say the game needs more money sinks.

So you saying stuff should cost more?

As you yourself pointed out, there is to much money going around.
One way is to find new stuff to spend that money on.
The other way is to increase the cost of already existing things.

However I don't see how an addtional option to spend your Ducats on is bad,
if it doesn't break the game balance and I don't think my suggestion does that.

No i am not saying that stuff should cost more most things have a fine price, the thing i am saying is that there already is enough things to spend money on so i don't think your suggestion is needed really needed.

I'm not sure about a prestige over time thing, unless it was scaled to development size or income, perhaps with a floor. Spend 50 ducats, get 5 prestige. If you're Russia in 1750, maybe 200 gold for 5 prestige. Something like that.

Oh, It's not intended as 'prestige over time' more than 'prestige for a time'. Basically you'd get the a flat bonus as long as can affort to pay for it.

Well, it could be just 30% of yearly income...
Yeah, a per capita spenting is a good mechanic to balance it, I like it.
