Tinto Talks #12 - 15th of May

[Johan]

Will the Swiss Confederation be an organization?

Its not yet, but its something we want to do.

 

[Johan]

Might other entity types become playable in the future, possibly in DLCs?

no

 

[Johan]

Both of them? So playable trade companies confirmed?

yes

 

[Johan]

1. Is the number of electors secular and electors spiritual in the HRE fixed and are they tied to land?

Actually, I don't know.. My team is off doing some fun teambuilding celebration things this afternoon, so I can't ask them.

 

[Johan]

Out of curiosity will you need to wait a month of game time before needing to declare war or will this game allow for instant day 1 actions to take place? What about cooldowns from sending diplomats?

1 month wait + cooldowns confirmed.

 

[Johan]

How will Kalmar work then, scripted or another mechanic? I thought while reading this that this was going to be perfect for the Kalmar Union.

Its a union

 

[Johan]

Can the same nation be in two or more different IO at once?

yes

 

[Johan]

will a PU dissolve because of different succession laws or just from opinion like in eu4?

We will talk about that in a few weeks time

 

[Johan]

5) consortium

Only if they all have an "Nexus-Prince" as a leader.

Yes, yes. You have my full attention.

 

[Johan]

how do you feel about "associations"?

Thats not a bad name.

"The Catholic Church is an association"

 

[Johan]

Will protectorates make a return? Is dominion a status for colonies or would that be more for the Victoria franchise timeline?

Dominion is a type of subject that has the same ruler as its overlord.

 

[Johan]

Can international organizations be created arbitrarily?

no

 

[Johan]

So if for example Ottomans become very big (Or Byzantium in alternative timeline) and start threatening HRE and rest of the Europe, will European countries be able to form Order Of a Dragon or a Holy League to resist it?

Its called "Coalition"

 

[Johan]

This has been discussed many times on this forum and other platforms, but the general consensus among the community is that different diplomatic actions/relations should have different costs. For example, guaranteeing independence of a minor nation is not the same an alliance between two powerful states.

However, I think it should work the following way..

An alliance between France and Ulm should cost MORE for Ulm than France.

 

[Johan]

If the scale of the medieval map doesn’t scare the casual player away then trying to understand diplomatic capacity won’t.

its the "this is worth 3.223 capacity now"

 

[Johan]

So will Unions act like indipendent countries and be totally autonomous from us?

mostly yes, unless the union becomes more formalized.

 

[Johan]

Does the black part of the map at the east mean that we get progressive map unveiling once more ?

(i'm comparing to CK3, VK3 and Imperator which lacked this system)

yes

 

[Johan]

How should overlapping organizations be displayed on a map?

The mapmode depends on which one you have selected.

 

[Johan]

So what is the mechanical difference between being led by a country or a character? Currently if feels like a distinction without a difference.

Countries does not ALWAYS have a ruler.

and if its character, if that character dies, a new leader has to be picked etc..

In real life.. USA is always the leader of NATO, even though the ruler of USA has switched quite a few times since 1945

 

[Johan]

What happens to e.g. the High Kingship of Ireland when the whole of Ireland is controlled by England/GB, will it be disbanded, held by the English monarch, become defunct?
