The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
That was the thread I was looking for but couldn't find. Thanks!
Would be much appreciated, I would imagine.Yeah, i mentioned that in my post. I could wade through that massive back log and post here the ones that apply to tags that still dont have ideas, if that's convinient for you
If we're going to have a Pirates of Penzance reference in the 4th idea, might I suggest adding a quote to go along with it? Say the start of the Pirate King's song "Oh, better far to live and die/Under the brave black flag I fly" ? Modern references aren't unheard of in NIs - after all, we do have the Monty Python reference in the Spanish Inquisition!
We have (in terms of suggestions or compilations)?I opt for having this thread pinned, so that we won't have any more "National Ideas thread", cause we've had at least four in the last few months.
I will take a shot at the numbers, and changed the Obsolete idea (Claims are now isntantly made)

BLI_ideas: "Balinese Ideas"
BLI_ideas_start: "Balinese Traditions"
BLI_ideas_bonus: "Balinese Ambitions"
javanese_culture: "Imported Javanese Culture"
javanese_culture_desc: "The old rule of Majapahit marked the strong influx of Javanese culture into Bali, most of all in architecture, dance and the theatre; in literature with the introduction of the Kawi script; in painting and sculpture; and the wayang puppet theatre."
aristocratic_refugees: "Aristocratic Refugees"
aristocratic_refugees_desc: "With Islam rising and great kingdoms falling in the Indonesian archipelago, displaced Hindu nobilities flock to Bali to restore their ancient honour."
staunch_hindus: "Staunch Hindus"
staunch_hindus_desc: "Religious change engulfs the Malay world. Islam and Christianity represent a threat to our ancient Hindu culture, and efforts must be made to preserve it at any cost."
conquerer_dalems: "Conquerer Dalems"
conquerer_dalems_desc: "Balinese monarchs, known as Dalems, have not shied away from ambitious conquests despite the relatively small size of their kingdoms. Dalem Baturenggong, for example, expanded his kingdom of Gelgel to the islands to the East and even made forays into Java."
bli_island_settlers: "Island Settlers"
bli_island_settlers_desc: "The surrounding islands, with the notable exception of Java, are weak and uncultured in comparison to Bali. It would be relatively easy to settle these islands and introduce good governance, right religion, and a Balinese nobility."
hindu_reformation: "Hindu Reformation"
hindu_reformation_desc: "The half-hearted and disorganised approach to religion adopted by the failed nations that surround us has no place on Bali. Heeding the wise words of Dang Hyang Nirartha, the worship of Shiva shall take supreme dominance over all other forms of religious life. New temples shall be constructed and the priesthood reformed to create a renewed and modern Hindu faith."
rivals_to_slaves: "Rivals to Slaves"
rivals_to_slaves_desc: "Why kill our enemies when they still have worth as slaves? Allowing our captured enemies to serve instead of die not only reflects the mercy of Bali's rulers, but also frees up new sources of manpower in the local population."I noticed that more often than not those from that thread sets are completely OP
If you look more closely at the existing ideas, many doomed (Albania, Granada, Byzantium, Karaman, Provence, etc.) or obscure (Hormuz, Ryazan, Shawnee, Tarascan, Orissa, etc.) all have really good ideas while many regional powers (Naples, Korea, Genoa, Georgia, Bavaria, etc.) have mehish ideas. It only makes sense to reward you for doing well as a small nation by letting you enjoy playing as them.
Yes, but stuff like a bigger more buff than Élan, free colonist, agressive expansion... it's less of the ideas are OP per se, and more like the same strong ideas on all new sets. I mean, of the good obscure sets you mentioned, how many have 15 (!) Land Morale, AND Agressive Expansion Impact, AND coring cost, AND missionary strenght, AND +1 envoy... i think the people who make ideas often do too much metagame thinking. A lot sets seem suited to blobbing, which often doesnt go hand in hand with the spirit of the tag.
STOP! COOKIE TIME
