Suggestions for 1.06

[unmerged(8022)]

I have some suggestions, and maybe a lot of other also have,

1. In the Swedish event when you can dethrone King Erik XIV or execute Johan, If you choose to execute Johan Erik XIV will remain some years and then Erik XV will be King (he has not exist in the reallity). It would be better if Erik XIVs' son Gustav brcame king because he has exist and should have been king if Erik XIV not have been dethroned.

2. It would be very good if you it was possible to have different taxes in different provinces. If you have high taxes it will be a high revolt risk and if you have small taxes it would be low revolt risk.

3. If a country have been forced to convert in a peace deal, all other nations who shared the old religion should get a cb on the country who convert. For example: Austria force the Protestant Sachsen to convert to catolisim all other protestantic nations should get a cb against Sachsen.

I will write here if I remember more suggestions of improvement, please write your oppinion of this suggestions and come with your own.

Unfortunately, there will be only bug fixes from now on.

1. Alternate monarch lines are really simplified, but it couldn't be too hard for someone on their time to fix this historical 'bug' and post the updated monarch/events, maybe paradox will add it.
2. Would require changing the game engine, so won't be seen in EUII. Also, seems a bit too micromanaging, a standard kingdom wide tax would be better.
3. Good idea, though conversions (and religious wars in general) are rather rare in EUII.

The ability to destroy city "improvements" when you get a province from an enemy in a peace deal, e.g. get rid of a tax collector.

I agree 100% on the tax collectors. I can't stand to have them in a province that's got a different religion/culture group while I'm trying to fight a war. I mean I would think that any sane monarch wishing to rule his empire would remove such an obstacle. It's a clear power threat.

Come on would any ruler really get rid of a tax collector.
As the saying goes, "Only two things in life are certain, Death and Taxes"

It just didn't seem to ever get to the monarch's head that the population is never happy about taxes during war. A perfect example is how the French peasants kept getting ticked by their king during HYW and revolting because he would take all their food when they couldn't get more since the English ran over their fields. Your monarch really doesn't stop to think, "Hmmm maybe I should lower taxes and stop using my royal indoor plumbing." run-on but I made the point

The entire idea of a "tax collector" improvement is such a huge over-simplification as it is. While the game represents it as a single, permanent improvement, it is meant to simulate the growth of a whole beauraucracy and political infrastructure.

So while it is such an abstraction, I don't see a problem with making it "removable".

Even harder to get rid of a whole beauraucracy than a single person!

Maybe Gustav would die before his father, making his (ahistorical) younger brother/relative king.

Seriously, allowing a Gustav II at that time would force you to make alternate leaders and monarchs down the line, which is a larger bother, but if you want to, just make optional Gustavus III Adolphus monarch and leader, Gustav IV (formerly III) monarch and leader and finally Gustav IV into Gustav V, but only if this event takes ahistorical choice.

Maybe a bit of a bother, no?

Sounds as if you are departing from the historical line which would mean that you would neither get GIIA nor Karl XII as king and who would ever choose that

Someone who doesn't know jack about history and never seen the leader files.

Id be happy with just the fixed DP sliders. I liked 1.05 except for that one problem. Anyone know when this is likely to happen (1.06)?

That wouldn´t be a problem if you just not call him Gustav II, you can call him Gustav Eriksson, and then not change the other Gustavus name

Just back to the inevitability of taxes:- doesn't the fact that you can go the entire 400 years in the game without having a single tax collector in any of the provinces you started with and have held onto the entire campaign kinda refute the inevitability argument absolutely?

Well you are still getting taxes, just not as much.

 

[unmerged(8881)]

Exactly, so if you could remove the tax collector, "you'd still be getting taxes, just not as much."

But once a ruler gets used to more taxes, do you think they would go back to less, Don't think so.
You may be happy at your present rate of pay, but if you get a raise, you will not give it up even if it means a little more stress!

It have happend many times in the history that some provinces who have helped the ruler, get lower taxes for some years, or even non taxes at all.
It was also common that new conquered provinces get lower taxes the first years.
