I've read in one of the beta AARs that revolutions are more likely to happen in HoD.
Have you done something to increase the fighting power of rebels? Do the changes you did for unciv armies (higher base tactics) apply to them as well? Or will they be just more numerous?
We have redone this a bit. Uprisings can now grow larger, but rising chance of smaller rebellions are much lower.
I'm really liking the idea of those dynamic tags. How does the game decide what to call them? The dev diary says they get their names from one of their constituent states, but Svip released a country called the Confederation of Yoruba States, and I don't think there's a state called Yoruba States.
The names is based off the region names, and there is a Yoruba States region.
Can the international crisis system force/allow countries that have a truce or an alliance together to war with each other?
Yes, although it will break the alliance. Backing your allied is much preferred from the AI's point of view though.
Q about a very very minor thing (more a wish than an actual issue): any quality of life improvements for a CSA player after winning the war? Some way to revoke USA cores or maybe a special casus belli to force the Union to give them up. I like the idea of playing "alternative" USA, but having to fight war after war soon becomes boring and prevents me from playing CSA further.
We havent changes this. There is a new peace option that is used in crises where cores are removed, so a crafty modder could make a post-civil war specific goal you could use as the CSA to remove union cores
Can you incorporate diplomatically Dominions later? [I'm guessing no]
not diplomatically no
How trigger-happy is the AI about creating Dominions? I've seen in a couple of the Beta AARs how Portugal turned both Mozambique and Angola into dominions and it got me worried about the scramble for Africa turning half of Africa into dominions instead of directly-ruled colonies.
Also, is there any way to prevent "Dominion Crawl" to get tons of Colonial Points by releasing colonies as puppets, colonizing adjacent territories and then releasing them as well into another puppet?
Well, by doing so you might get more land, but you lose control and income, so its a tradeoff. I'd say perhaps the AI is a little trigger happy at the moment and I'll probably make it a little more hesitant in a future patch. But it depends on what people think. At the moment about half of africa gets turned into dominions I'd say. It depends a lot if there have been big wars hurting british and french navies and impacting their existing colonial power. Remember you get to control armies of dominions so they are more tightly controlled than you are used to as well.
