Tinto Talks #16 - 12th of June 2024

[Johan]

Will we have character development? For example, events or something more dynamic if a character had been working for 20 years increasing control of a province? Or a bonus for that specific action.

not naturally no

 

[Johan]

What does the gold cost represent?

A new member of the cabinet clearly need a new wardrobe, a new palace and a new......

 

[Johan]

What does "Development" mean in EU5? Population? Since development was sort of seen as population in EU4.

all the infrastructure that supports population.

 

[Johan]

Historicaly the French estates general had a say in the states diplomacy etc.Will they be able to extert control in the king and the cabinet in Caesar ?

you don't play the king, you play the country.

 

[Johan]

How does migration speed work exactly, Is it what percentage of people migrate each month? If so, do nomadic people and countries have huge migration speed?

its not percentage of pop, but increases how many of those that can migrate will.

 

[Johan]

If you increase control in a province with a cabinet member to the maximum, and then you assign the member to something else, does the increased control stay or does it gradually go down to baseline?

Max control drops when you reassign them.. take a rather short period of time.

 

[Johan]

Ah, so instead of mana, we get dudes... You need more dudes...

Or Dudettes!

 

[Johan]

This one bothers me. I have no problem tying actions to culture/religion but tag specific mechanics always feel unnaturally gamey and restrictive

Its also the type of thing that is most universally appreciated by our players.

 

[Johan]

2. How is cabinet size tied to the size of the state? IMO it wouldn't make sense for a German OPM to have the same Cabinet size as the Ottoman Empire, even if they have the same laws and its in the same age.

Yes. they will be the same.

 

[Johan]

Those government tabs look great, excited to hear more, curious about the values tab, is that where the sliders are?

yes

 

[Johan]

Wouldn't "development" just be amount of buildings+population? Seems weird to abstract that.

its all those things you don't build as a player.. like wells, the streets in the cities, etc..

 

[Johan]

Can I have Glitterhoof as a cabinet member?

No. this isn't ck

 

[Johan]

Please PLEASE tell me there's ways to lower development? Especially if population falls.

its called devastation

 

[Johan]

Also is there a 'Loyalty' mechanic between characters? I see the "can you trust Sir Robert" haha

I am dissapointed that nobody has figured out the reference yet.

 

[Johan]

From top to bottom, I'm not sure what the three icons on the top are about. They look like things that are constantly here, not buttons, not mere modifiers. Maybe it is to remind you that this is a monarchy, the second one is administrative efficiency and I have no idea about the third one.

First is correct

 

[Johan]

Have to ask, will the people of Holland get the option to eat the cabinet members named Johan if disaster hits Holland

yeah, well.. no

 

[Johan]

Maybe "Development" is better named "Infrastructure" to better explain it's about sustaining pops?

probably, but we call it development in so many games.. and then people would say "but roads and buildings are infrastructure"

 

[Johan]

how are cabinet minister stats rolled? rng on a bell curve? or is it more tangible and able to be influenced?

character stats tend to be a bell curve yes.

 

[Johan]

That's cool and all but now the real question...can I have sex with the cabinet like CK?

only in your mind, sorry.

 

[Johan]

Can cabinet members make demands like going to war?

no, but parliament may
