Tinto Talks #30 - 25th September 2024

[Johan]

If I lose an integrated/cored province to rebels or in war, do I need to integrate it again after recapturing it?

integrated yes, your integration level will slowly tick down every month.

 

[Johan]

In EU4, Russia has special government (and some few other places), that allows to make CB-s on states, instead of provinces. And since it's not possible to make CBs same way in PC, is such unique mechanic not included in PC or is it reworked to work differently?

CB on an entire area would be worse for you though in taking it, so its not something we have added.

 

[Johan]

What is meant here by it beaing "cheap" or "expensive" to take land?

Warscore

 

[Johan]

If one decides to use the best CB, does that mean that there will be no wargoal to fulfill, so you'll have to rely more on general aggression to extract the peace deal you want (presumably being able to take less stuff, since there will be no discounts a normal CB would provide)?

yes, thats correct.

 

[Johan]

Is there any impact from estate influence/privileges on integration?

not sure we have any atm.

 

[Johan]

It seems we really need more than two cabinet members at the beginning of the game.

Why?

 

[Johan]

@Johan Do pops which are part of accepted culture gonna get converted over time?

no.

Accepted cultures never convert, as accepted cultures are a part of your nation.

 

[Johan]

I assume, for modding purposes, that we can just script up various CB and wargoal types as before, except CBs rather than spelling out a specific wargoal now require a list of possible wargoals?

yeah, they are 100% scriptable.

 

[Johan]

Given that integrating a province can take 50 years, can we pause it, have the cabinet member do something more urgent and then return to it, or would he have to start from the beginning?

yes, it can be "paused"

 

[Johan]

I hesitantly agree, but it might be too early to say. It'll certainly carry a steep opportunity cost.

@Johan What happens if the integration gets interrupted, for example the cabinet member dies during the task? Do we lose all progress, or do we pick it up where it was? Can you willfully interrupt an integration to do something more pressing, then go back to it without losing progress?

If cabinet member dies, all that happens is that the progress is a bit slower until you assign a new member.. that is true for ALL cabinet actions.

 

[Johan]

What is separatism then? Well, it is the reduction of satisfaction for pops that are not of the primary culture. This is very likely to make the locations very unproductive for quite some time.

What about pops that have a different religion, don't they get a reduction in satifcation?

yes.

culture / religion already gets that. separatism is on top of it

 

[Johan]

Do the current tags start with all their owned locations 100% cored, or will different tags have different levels of integration to represent pre-1337 conquests?

no.

many have locations at conquered status and some at integrated.

 

[Johan]

Will there be culture or state-specific advancements that make integration faster or slower?

yes

 

[Johan]

Your own population getting mad at your unjustified warfare?

yes

 

[Johan]

Will we have control about our cultural influence / the cultural tradition of our territories or will it be "only" a modifier we get through laws / estates privilege ?

We will talk more about this indepth mechanic later this autumn

 

[Johan]

So since coring takes so long, is overextension a thing?

no, that does not exist.

the lack of control & separatism makes it unnecesary

 

[Johan]

Will Agressive Expansion/infamy differ between nations? Like say the Spaniards conquering a trillion native tags will probably make them very unpopular in Mexico, but their other European neighbors might not care as much.

Opinions will impact differently yes.

 

[Johan]

Conquest will be easier, but you’ll want to do it less often. Alleviating two problems: frustrating EU4 total wars and snowballing. Quite ingenious!

That is the intended goal.

 

[Johan]

Will "Hasn't taken Fort in Random part of Siberia" still block the AI from accepting peace?

At 100% warscore what the AI or Player thinks does not matter...
