EU4 - Development Diary - 24th of January 2017

[Atlantians]

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.

Have you altered the other ages to be triggered by institutions rather than a hard-date?

Also, have you looked into allowing ages to overlap, and if not, can ages overlap via modding?

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

QING!

FUCK YEAH!

I'm sad because this would be a great opportunity for Paradox explore some mechanics like slave revolts and anticolonial revolts. Haitean Revolution was the first Independence process which abolished slavery and the fear that it could be an example to all over American continent was very important to politics. I know it's a late game feature, but it should be thought over.

Not the focus of the upcoming patch, Asia and the age-mechanic on itself seem to be the focus instead of colonial events.
Your suggestion is a great flavor event, which there is a shortage of in much more nations than just colonial powers.

Looking forward to Age of Revolution ^^

How is +1 legitimacy better than this lol... +1 is a joke dude...

My question is, why should a certain country get a set bonus because of it's tag, and disregarding it's policies, ideas, rulers, culture, etc?

It's still an option you can choose. A flavored extra option for some major countries during that timeperiod, but still an option. You can just as well choose all the other ones instead of the special one designed for certain tags.

I don't get the hassle about the age mechanic, it seemed to work fine in the dev multiplayer session.

For the same reason that certain countries get wildly superior national ideas compared to others.

 

[Mingmung]

For flavor.

Otherwise each nation would just be a color with a name on it.

Just separate the asian into 2 different tech group 1 is east asian tech 1 is south east asian tech and give the south east asia another graphic. Btw can you change the map to look like hoi4 map? It's really near now

Maybe a new government type should be introduced. I just wanted a mechanic which would represent the transition of one Chinese dynasty to another. (Eg: Ming to Qing)

This is what I'm talking about.

 

[Metz]

This is what I'm talking about.

Bureaucracy, Population, and Tariffs should be in the same column as they are administration/economy related. The other column would be defense, naval, and officer corps which deals with the military.

Nothing for Revolution target, Reaction or Counter Revolution?
