Tinto Talks #12 - 15th of May

[Johan]

Do I understand correctly that with that system I can bring other Patriarchates under the Patriarchate of Constantinople (with some military encouragement, of course)?

yes

 

[Johan]

Just to clarify, can we actually create organizations when playing the game (aside from coalitions and defensive unions) or is this only a neat design tool for the dev team and modders to keep adding new organizations into the game later on?

Its a neat design tool for the dev team and modders to provide flavorful content

 

[Johan]

In the map of Castile I can see "Crow...", is the Crown of Castile an IO? and does Aragón have "Crown" too in its name?

its a flavorful name for a country

 

[Johan]

"Unions: This is a sort of defensive alliance between countries that share the same ruler. They may or may not have different levels of integration."

Are subject unions more free to do their own thing in this game? Can Bohemia under Luxembourg declare its own wars? And will it not automatically be called into an offensive war with its overlord?

Also will it be possible to move my court (change tag) to my pu subject? Sort of like Charles IV making Bohemia his primary title and not Luxembourg?

There is no subjects in a PU in Project Caesar.

All countries are equal in a union.

 

[Johan]

Will we be able to create our own organisations during a game? let's say dismantling hre and then creating something else in that place

no

 

[Johan]

Does this mean that PC will use diplomatic relation slots akin to those in EU4? Is there no chance for a diplomatic capacity or a similar system?

If it costs 1 slot or 6.5 capacity doesn't matter in the end.. its a simple change, and we are not sure which one we want atm.

 

[Johan]

Will the organizations use the same colours. Comparing HRE organization and this Muscovy vassal-something organization.

Its set from script.

 

[Johan]

Karel IV is not even King or Emperor at that date.

Yeah, HRE starts without a proper Emperor

 

[Johan]

How easy or difficult will it be to destroy these organisations (such as the High Kingdom of Ireland if Ireland is conquered by england) and will certain organisations have unique criteria for destruction (such as the HRE, China)? Can these organisations be reformed if you meet certain conditions?

It depens on how they are setup.

 

[Johan]

Is French Crown with all of its appanages an organisation? Can you create something like HRE out of it (more decentralized)?

no

 

[Johan]

Seeing as you mentioned PU, will they be more dynamic in claiming and fighting for them? Ruler's historical where often rather liberal when it came to the legitimacy of their claims, or would join up to support one person over another. Always been weird to me you can inherit multiple massive PUs when historical there were continent wide wars over such things

They are defensive alliances at BEST in Project Caesar.

 

[Johan]

Is large empire gonna be some type organization like the Ottoman Empire or Spanish Empire?

no

 

[Johan]

Will we get a seperate map feedback thread for the areas shown here at some later point or is this the correct place for feedback?

Every region will have their Friday

 

[Johan]

Are The Knights, Teutonic Order, Livonian Order, and whatever else there may be, countries, international organizations, or something else?

Countries

 

[Johan]

Can we assume the Hansa is also one of these organisations?

No. they are a country with some other fun special attributes

 

[Johan]

So will the EU4 colonial/trade companies be a IO or something different as a whole?

no, they are countries.

 

[Johan]

You did not mention leagues like the Hansa I believe. Are those also organisations?

Additionally: Are some of these organisations directly playable?

Only countries are playable entities

 

[Johan]

Does this mean PC might be the first game in Paradox history to accurately represent Switzerland as a permanent military alliance of independent cities and cantons?

I didn't think such a thing would happen in my lifetime.

We have not done Switzerland flavor yet, but the Swizz Confederation is one of the reasons for us to make this system

 

[Johan]

Aggressive expansion and coalitions work the same as in EUIV?

no

 

[Johan]

I know graphics are WiP . But my feedback is I wish flags were not that wavy and shadowed , just plain flat rectangle .

but they looks so nice when they wave in the game
