Can't build in 0 income provinces. Why? Is this WAD or BUG?

I can??? Maybe you just have too much land under you direct control, in which case you cannot build at all.

this is wad,

when your demesne is becoming too big, you are virtually stalled in some provinces (corruption etc,) - look out, not all zero provinces are forbidden for improvement,

check your efficiency and grant titles to lower your demesne penalty, at a certain level you'll get access to the forbidden provinces,

or just give those forbidden provinces away, :)

From memory, cannot test right now:

It may be WAD, but it is a bloody silly D for the following reasons. The way it is implemented is that you cannot build in a province with 0.00 income, which for all practical purposes (there are a few exceptional cases) means that it only happens when your demesne efficiency is 0 (10 provinces over max).

....Except for one slight detail. A lot of buildings give +1 income, and as their boost is deliberately not affected by efficiency, if even one of those buildings exist in a province, you can build anyway. Especially, you can build a Royal Post and work your way up from there.

Thus the rule that prevents building in 0 income provinces makes the silly and arbitrary distinction that at high inefficiency you can build just about everything so long as the province already has e.g. a brewery, whereas if it has none of the +1 buildings (no matter how well developed it is otherwise), it can build nothing.

The rule should be changed to one of the following:
  • No building if the base income is 0.0 (i.e. brewery's &etc don't give a second chance)
  • Always possible to build - but more province improvements should have income build limitations than have currently (Grand Palace, War Academy, Naval Shipyard)
