Tinto Talks #35 - 30th of October

[Johan]

On a different note, WHY ISN'T YUAN EMPIRE RANK!?

Yuan is an empire

 

[Johan]

Will the country with HRE emperor get the Empire boni as long as their guy sits on the throne?

yes

 

[Johan]

This seems odd. If I'm the economic hegemon and I lose a small conflict with another country, in which I lose only a couple of poor locations, while leaving intact all of the territories and resources that make me the economic hegemon, why should I lose the title? An hegemon being defeated in a war should, at most, reduce some of the variables/score that contribute to it being the hegemon, instead of automatically making it lose that title altogether.

If you lose a war, you are not a hegemon.

 

[Johan]

I found the fact that naval and economic hegemon in EU4 were different to be quite strange, really. Especially since in the late game, your economy is going to be rich off of trade and production sourced from bird mana things, not taxes like administrative(which will probably only be a third or less of your income later in the game).

This is a different game than EU4 though.

 

[Johan]

Or you just won’t be demoted?

this.

So you can't become "King in Prussia" in this system?

You need some prussian land then

 

[Johan]

How does the population of your vassals count for Great Power rank and for country rank?

only for GP rank

 

[Johan]

GP should be regional, at least divided according to continents

Which continent is the Mamluks in? Ottomans?

 

[Johan]

Is it possible to add a new rank?

yes, can add as many as you want

 

[Johan]

Hmmmm. Can’t it be more punishing? Like if you have a strong navy. It’s not you who claim the hegemony, but the other nations start deeming you as a navy hegemon, cutting ties with you and becoming more fearful. Like an endgame limitation. Will also stop the power creep because why you need more buffs when you are literally a hegemon

Interesting hmm..

 

[Johan]

Is Ethiopia an empire at game start?

yes

 

[Johan]

I'm wondering: what country rank will have societies of pops, army based countries and banks? Will they be a county/duchy rank countries or will they have unique rank/s?

same ranks atm

 

[Johan]

are you sure that France should be the second great power ?

Subjects add too much perhaps.

 

[Johan]

I guess it's because the Shogunate is portrayed as a technically unified country, and I guess Japan as a whole was far from poor in the 14th century (and therefore they get a good score in the game), but in reality we never think of Japan as a significant power in this age because the central government was very weak and the nation was locked in internal political struggles.

I also noticed when checking that the Shogunate IO gave as much bonus as the HRE.. nerfed it now.

 

[Johan]

are you sure that France should be the second great power ?

Yeah, the vassal contribution was too high.
