EU4 - Development Diary - 24th of January 2017

[Johan]

Hello everyone, and welcome to yet another Europa Universalis IV development diary. Today we’ll take a deep look into the Age of Revolutions.

This Age starts 10 years after the Enlightenment have been established, which is usually in the first decade of the 18th century.

Rules
Absolutism mechanics are enabled.
French Revolution, Revolution and Liberalism Disasters, can only happen in this Age.

Objectives

1. Have Parliaments
2. Be an Empire Rank Nation, Emperor of HRE or Emperor of China
3. Have a 250 development subject.
4. 125% discipline
5. 50 development capital
6. Own and control 2 institution origins
7. Have a general with 15+ pips.
   

Abilities

• +3 Artillery Bonus vs Fort
• Force March does not cost MIL
• 20% more ships can fight in combat.
• Remove distance check for coring.
• Artillery does 20% more damage from backrow.
• -25 liberty desire to subjects on same continent
• Liberty_desire_from_subject_development -33%
• Prussia: 20% less fire-damage taken
• Great Britain: 25% cheaper naval maintenance
• Russia: +20 States
• Austria: +5 diplomatic reputation
  

To clarify:
Artillery Bonus usually goes up to a maximum of +5 when sieging, this can be increased by this ability to +8 in this age.

Backrow artillery does 50% damage normally, this allows them to do 60% damage.

Next week, we’ll look into why the Manchu are so awesome..

Does the Liberalism disaster refer to the 'Aspiration for Liberty' disaster, or is it something new related to abolitionism?

its the old one.

 

[Johan]

Does this mean that you can core any province of the world? seems great

yes

 

[Johan]

Who came with this modifier and how was it justified? I hoped something that was tied to Suvorov and military victories during that time period, but, again, Russia gets some bullsh*t. At least not 100% manpower #ThanksParadox.

Considering the amount of max-states have been reduced a fair bit in 1.20, this is currently one of the most powerful bonuses.

 

[Johan]

To clarify, for these objectives, once you have achieved it, you have unlocked it for good? Or do you have to keep the objective active? (Eg- 15 pip general: If he dies, is the objective still fulfilled? (Also, do rulers count if they are generals?))

Have to be active.

 

[Johan]

Polish that beated Ottomans are getting +1 legitimacy that is a joke too...

Poland has +30% goods produced.
