Tinto Talks #17 - 19th of June 2024

[Johan]

Since assimilation is a solid value, how does that work for minority populations historically resistant to assimilation? Think Assyrians, Sami or Jews

was the sami resistant to it, or did the state don't give a fuck about a tiny semi-nomad minority on the fringe of society?

 

[Johan]

Can you build irrigation canals or something like that to improve the land?

yes in some locations

 

[Johan]

So since market accessibility/price and development are such a big reason for migration, what makes all my hinterland upper class not immediately try to move to Stockholm the moment I unpause the game?

the likelihood of it being <0 at start with no other factors applied is slim to none

 

[Johan]

Can you selectively approve of religions and cultures so they aren't assimilated?

yes on cultures

 

[Johan]

In a location with a base trade good that isnt food, will you need to import all the food needed to sustain that pop?

or ship from other locations in the same province.

 

[Johan]

Every location is populated? Some locations in northern Québec, Labrador, and Canadian territories are - to this day - devoid of population with small distant pockets of Innu or Inuits inhabitants.

almost all are iirc.

 

[Johan]

Will accepting cultures and the general mechanic work like in Imperator?

no, but not like eu4 either.

 

[Johan]

Can I just ignore it and it will sort itself out in the background? Or do I have to put up with Vic Vibes in "Not EU5"?

for most its more in the background yes

 

[Johan]

How exactly research speed depends on literally? Or maybe i so ask this: when technology tinto talks?

2024

 

[Johan]

Shouldn't the clergy promote religious conversion? For example, if I build clergy buildings in a "wrong religion" province, only "right religion" pops should be promoted to fill them and they will start converting other pops so that their religious makeup matches the one of the clergy? Of course, this should be modified by various religious laws, for example, I can annex a Muslim province as a Christian country, but adopt a law that stops conversions in their lands to lower unrest. And then simply promote migration of Christians into the new provinces instead, bwahaha.

it has an impact yes

 

[Johan]

One question: What is "prosperity"? Is it another aggregate of many things too minute to model, like how Development represents local infrastructure?

we will talk about it later.

 

[Johan]

Joining the clergy was the only major path for social mobility in the Middle Ages - even sons of peasants could become popes - so I do think it makes sense to view clergy as Upper Class compared to peasants.

this

 

[Johan]

What is the available free land measure? Is it like Vicky 3 where each location has a maximum of arable land or how does it work?

amount of pops vs population capacity

 

[Johan]

Shouldn't all provinces inherently produce *some* level of local food?

Some yes

 

[Johan]

Is Pop Assimilation also an active decision like Pop Conversion? For cases in which we want to create a Multicultural nation rather than spreading our Culture everywhere?

yes

 

[Johan]

Will the natural decay in the number of people in Catholic clerigy pop be higher than in that of nobles or Orthodox clerigy ?

no, as 3rd sons always go to the church.

 

[Johan]

How is it decided which location is depleted and which one is filled ?

Weighted dice.

 

[Johan]

So there are other migration mechanics in addition to these shown?

yes

 

[Johan]

Have you considered multiplying all the values for good consumption by 100 or something? The decimals really make it hard to discern orders of magnitude at a glance.

yes, its a bit of a pain for other parts though

 

[Johan]

Will Muslim Burgher and Nobility Pops Demand Alcoholic Goods?
Because Rich people simply drank it regardless of religious restriction's in Most Islamic nations, even Peasants drank it tho not as widely as Richer folks

maybe.
