Tech 20 for Dutch-Anglo hybrid. But we can make Angevin by the time of the reformation. Can you change this please?
I see where you are coming from and this is definitely something I am considering, but it is not that straightforward. Let's see...
I hope that some of the Venetians things are available for Genova
Genoa as a tag has no new content.
Tech 20 for the Union of Crowns is a bit much, maybe it should be something like 200 relations, 100 trust and 20 years since the start of the PU or something like that.
This is a good suggestion and if it happens, it might look something like that. The tricky part is that you are supposed to inherit ENG/GBR and that's a bit overpowered with just such simple triggers.
Would it be better to change the VOC’s name to Dutch East India Company? To keep in line with English naming conventions for other nations.
I'll discuss this internally, it's a good suggestion. I like the current name but you are largely right, it should be more recognizable with the English title.
Why put Camillo Benso Cavour as italian advisor inside the mission tree? If we need an italian precursor of the Risorgimento with an economic background you can choose among many others people inside the timeline of EU4, for example these enlighteners thinkers: Gaetano Filangieri, Francesco Lomonaco, Antonio Genovesi, Ferdinando Galiani, Antonio Zanon, Gian Francesco Galeani Napione, Antonio Maria Lorgna.
Stellar feedback, I will see what I can do with this.
- As asked before in this thread, how are the southern Dutch nations, i.e. Flanders and Brabant, holding up in line of this new update? How will their transition into a unified Netherlands be? A whole Poland-Lithuania treatment seems, perhaps, a bit much, but maybe an alternative 4 to 6 starting missions, like they had before, would suffice?
These minors will have some unique missions on their way to form Netherlands and some missions have different outcomes based on your culture (flemish, dutch, etc.).
- "Amsterdam Bourse" -> Perhaps incorporate a nod to the origins of the 'Bourse' in Bruges, integrating gameplay elements that could make Amsterdam ,Antwerp, OR Bruges the focal point.
-"Leiden University" -> An alternative to the university of Leiden would be the one in Leuven (Brabant), the oldest one in the Low Countries.
Unfortunately this would require too much work at this point. It is not trivial to add another mission that overlaps a previous one at the same grid position.
For the Seven Provinces reform, does the outside Low Countries penalty apply to states, or also to territories and/or trade companies? It seems like this would hurt trade company provinces.
No, it will not apply on TC provinces.
In the history files of the Netherlands Michiel de Ruyter is listed as a 6/5/6/0 admiral, the new event would make him 5/5/6/0. Could this outrages nerf potentially be fixed.
Whoever nerfed him must have been on the receiving end in a battle... It will be rectified :cool:
What about adding Belgium as a formable for Flemish and Walloon culture countries?
I found the idea of a United States of Belgium to be funny, but unfortunately there was no time for it.
Will you consider making the United Crowns more of a mix of English or British Red and Dutch Orange?
My initial plan was to have a mixture of the two colours but it looked a bit *blegh*. Then I thought about the GBR/ENG red hues but, come on, the Dutch win against the Isles and not the other way around, so it makes less sense for the British to impose their colors on this outcome. Thus I decided to go with the Dutch orange, which I like very much.
How does the Venetian Suez Canal diplomatic path interact with the Mamluk’s mission for the Suez Canal?
It fires an event for the Mamluks and completes their mission.
Question: Will the Papal States be updated too since they form the Kingdom of God and not Italy?
No they will not receive any content.

Thank you all for taking the time to read through and comment on the Developer Diary, your feedback is valuable and appreciated, have a good night!

First, it doesn't fix the current problems like some of the Venetians events only triggering if the player is failing
These events have been amended. Not every aspect of the content is shown in the Developer Diaries.
Or the fact that its unique tier 5 reform, Merchant Arsenal, is so bad compared to the other options
It enables a special Galley type which grants +25% Galley Combat Ability and gives some useful navy-related bonuses. However, you are right. Navy in general is not as important as your land army, in a reform tier about the Military which contains both navy and Land reforms. Most people would opt for the latter.
For some reason the Venetian Naval Doctrine is also worse than the Byzantium one
Whilst it does not grant galley combat ability and disengagement chance, it does grant more cannons for all ships (not just galleys) and do keep in mind that Venice already gets a hefty 25% galley CA from their ideas' ambitions. Venice is overall far more powerful (navally) than Byzantium.
Second, the upgraded idea set gets rid of the Development cost and Yearly republican tradition bonuses which are some of the most important for tall nations and gives blobbing modifiers like Maximum absolutism, Goods produced modifier and it also gives land combat bonuses instead... It doesn't fit Venice
Whilst you are correct, the loss of Development is definitely a blow, do bare in mind that this bonus has been "moved" to other aspects of the gameplay (mission rewards, reforms, buildings, events, privileges, etc) and as far as I can tell from my own playthroughs, I have had no issue developing cheap provinces so far as there are plenty of sources for it, already. Absolutism is definitely a powerful tool for the 1600s and later, especially for counteracting the malus from being a Republic, therefore it's quite valuable in that aspect. As for the Goods Produced, well, it's great money for a Merchant Republic with lots of trade and production income :)
New tag!!! Does the inclusion of new tag mean the 'ban' on introducing new tags is over? Does that mean we get some new formables for Theodoro and Hish Kayfa?
No :confused:
Also, given we form a 'united' tag, could we get access to some of the English special goverment reforms? Also what about culture? Could we maybe integrate 'Dutch' cultures into English group? Or vice-versa?
You do get access to English and British Events, but allowing access to their respective reforms, privileges etc. is definitely wild and probably will cause too many issues
Re: sledge buff on advisors that Netherlands and Venice get. Its too op. Given those are 'wealthy' states. They will get lvl 3-5 advisors fairy early. That gives between 15-25% (sic!) Siedge ability. Its too much. 3% seems nice but I would like to ask for 2-2.5% (10-12.5%max). Those are seafaring nations. Not army focused. This is too big of an advantage (would break MP too)
Yes, you are right, and thank you for the feedback.
One thing I think would be really good for Venice/Italy is if they got a mission that allows them to collect from both the Genoa and Venice trade nodes without receiving penalties.
This can already happen to a great (if not total) extend, in 1.36
If you become the United Crowns as the Netherlands, can you then get both the EIC and VOC?
You can get a subject like the VOC even if you are the United Crowns because the latter is not a new tag
