Suggested nerf to the landpower meta of Eco/Quantity/trade

[Fitzgerald93]

In my current opinion regarding the games balance the combined policies of this opener are currently way too strong, you end up with -30% dev cost/60% Forcelimit/10% trade efficiency and production efficiency aswell as a whopping 20% goodsproduced.

Overall after the innovative/quality/eco opener has been nerfed since infantry was weakened the aforementioned combination pretty much dominates mp games in many cases and i think a nerf of the
Trade/quantity policy would be in order to fix the issues somewhat, possibly tuning the 20% goods produced down to 10%.

20% Goods produced pretty much function as 20% production efficiency and id say approximately 15% more trade income. The quantity/trade policy is among the strongest economic buffs and with quantity being the strongest military idea by far i think it needs tweaking.

How about buffing other choices rather? Policies are a very limited resource and flattening them takes decisions and specislisation out of the game which sucks even more for the non MP crowd.

considering that for sp tall play that combo is essential to have the game be even remotely enjoyable i would suggest instead of nerfing this combo to buff the bonuses and the policies of idea groups like innovative, plutocratic/aristocratic, naval and maritime allowing for mp players who do not want to concentrate on land to have economic power similar to those who take the combo

I agree. in general i find that buffing other strategies is a much more fun way to balance a game rather than nerfing the fun out strategies people use.

Yeah a buff to the others would also be a good option as its just the problem with that combination being so powerful its pretty much meta. And in all honesty metagaming where something is superior in all cases for a landpower is not good, idea picks shouldnt be a no brainer but a thought process.
