EU4 - Development Diary - 29th of May 2018

[Yevardian]

The missions for the Russian minors are somewhat aimed towards forming Ruthenia.

What about Perm? Ukrainian/Cossack type missions don't really fit a Finno-Ugric culture. I'd like to see some more dead Uralic tags in general, Muscovy still needs cutting down to size after all their new bonuses, of which they've gotten another significant boost with this mission tree.
It's getting to the point where I'd seriously consider disabling 3rd Rome for multiplayer.
Muscovy is Ottoman-tier OP of the early builds, but without the downsides. You could see that in the last Dev-Clash, if hordes weren't so utterly crap that Kazani player should have steamrolled the region. Instead one of the best players in Dev team got K.O'd early and allowed an uber Turkish-Byzantium of all things.

Yeah Russia is very much in need of a nerf. Third Rome made them much too Overpowered and getting better missions is only gonna make it worse. Insta raising forces government ability needs to be changed or nerfed in a meaningful way.
Also how will colonise Alaska work I wonder? Maybe the mission before gives us +1 colonist for 15 years so that we can colonise some places? Otherwise taking exploration for that will not be useful at all.

These buttons are in need of a rework IMHO. It makes no sense, it breaks the AI (not buying any artillery, unless it was fixed, after all), it is overwhelmingly OP in the player's hands.

An option - instead of permanently raising them from thin air, raise them from garrisons for the duration of war.

Or add 2 states - raised and unraised (pretty much like CK2 levies, although it is a bit ironic), the first would give army for the war, the second would give peacetime bonuses to the provinces with fortresses, with drawback being them able to join peasant rebellions in these provinces.

When will 1.26 come out?

 

[Ulmo]

When will 1.26 come out?

They announce release dates 1 month prior. So it is more than a month probably before they release it.

 

[Uranos]

So now we need new polish tree

 

[MateuszNH]

Sure we will but not in a expansion about India.

But what's wrong with talking about ideas of next expansions in post about expansion not associated with the target? It's much better than talking about this in already released DD, because there is much lower chance to get it included after release (if assuming that paradox taking into consideration our ideas )
Talking about further expansions or about reckless mechanics from previous is fine in my opinion, as this DD thread series is mostly about game progress in my eyes, not only content of actual dlc.
Well i agree this guy didn't bring anything usefull to discussion, just spam but it's not what you refer to.

This post is about this dev diary and this expansion if you have something about future expansions there is a suggestions forum.

This post is about this dev diary and this expansion if you have something about future expansions there is a suggestions forum.

But to make sens using suggestions forum i have to make essay like Mortheim did with Russia flavoured, i don't see a point to write entire thread about some specific little changes or ideas, and especially thread about issues of older dlcs. This is the perfect place to do that, guessing of next expansion target is also fine.

And yes it's called dev diary, maybe i translate it bad but i see it as summary of devs work with, supplemented same as standard diary , not some kind of announcement post, alowing only to talk about it's essence.

No you don't, I have dropped a lot of fairly short posts in the suggestion forum.

I think it would be more fun for the player and better for balance if the steppe hordes were beefed up and Russia had more dead-cores and foreign culture rather than water down Russia's mechanics. The main thing that needs to be nerfed is Orthodoxy.

I wonder if this new expansion will be released before the Sweden Sunrise?

Sweden has sun?

 

[TheDungen]

Sweden has sun?

In summer? Yeah what parts of Sweden don't have in summer however are nights.

 

[_Perun_]

Sweden has sun?

Bad timing for the joke considering the hottest May since the end of the viking age.

Haha Yeah I could really do with some less sun right about now.

 

[Trin Tragula]

Sweden has sun?

Just you wait until you get back here. You’re in for a surprise

 

[nv82250]

So that's what the weird hat man next to province development does! I've seen him in Dev Clashes.
He develops your province!!!

Why Russia have conquer Finland, Romania, Poland, etc, but 'liberate' Ruthenia? How did they 'liberate' Ruthenia in history? Zaporozhia and ruthenians thought with muscovians, and against them in these 'liberation' times, after it was just eaten by Russia, so, where is there liberation? I prefer there to see 'Conquer Ruthenia' aswell.

If we don't mind the present feuds between Russia and Ukraine relations have always been good. Moreover, the Ukrainian identity begun forming in the 16th and 17th century in the western parts under Polish control and influence of the Polish language. From the Russian point of view they were rebuilding Rus' and they also viewed themselves as the protectors of the Orthodox faith whom all Ruthenians adhered to and much of people identities at that time in history were built around religion. As for Zaporozhie, the cossaks where working with many countries but when pressured by outsiders still preferred Russia as a protector. They revolted from the Poles who tried to assimilate them. One major event that is often used today to demonstrate that the cossaks were not loyal to Russia was a contingent of cossaks fighting at Poltava along the sweeds, but the Hetman did not receive the support of most cossaks and most actually sided with the russians. Long story short, there is much in common between Russia and Ukraine/Ruthenia despite the modern feud. Also, I don't intend to go down that rabbit hole so please no mention of modern politics. It will get messy

 

[nextLVL]

- i really cant remember anything else that would be considered "revolution" for that timeperiod in Russia. "Constantine and his wife Constitution" is the closest that comes to mind. Communsim is obvioulsy completely out of question.

- heh, thats im afraid would be unchanged.

I think it will be simulating the Decembrist revolt that was staged by some high officials and nobility in the army to proclaim a republic or a constitutional monarchy. The movement formed after the Napoleonic Wars and had two branches with their goals of bringing the aforementioned governments.
