Why does it cost 80 mandate to pass Celestial Reforms?

[bly08]

1.23 patch notes say "Increased Mandate cost for reforms from 50 to 70." Tested with multiple tags.

Edit: Seems like it still costs 70 but 80 is required to pass the reform.

it will still reduce it by 70, so you will have 10 left

You always needed 80 to pass a reform, I believe. Only thing that changed was the cost.

To stop Ming from having all the reforms passed by the mid 1500s.

Now they simply have all reforms by 1600.

So you're not immune from negative mandate events or negative mandate growth after you push a reform.

If it takes too long to pass reforms that hurts players who take the Mandate

It's already on the long side
