Saturday Buildings - 12th of April 2025

[Johan]

Here is a building for rural locations in forest, woods or jungles that requires laborers.

This Age of Absolutism building is something you'd like in many towns and cities..

This building from the Age of Reformation is something you definitely want in your capital!

Fáilte ar ais!

Has there been a colour change for the labour pop type? Can you show all the pop types plus their colours?

Labourers = grey
Burgers = orange
Nobles = blue

 

[Gurtannon]

You could squeeze the construction goods same way as required production method goods, and add a construction hammer icon instead of anvil

And also make icons for default building time and cost and put the icons and values right of “Required goods for construction:”
maybe also turn the text into “Construction Goods:” to shorten it

There's a lot of capital only buildings in this game, I hope the capital will get extra building slots to accommodate them or the capital will have a worse economy than every other city.

I swear you already showed the charcoal in one of the first one. But its nice seeing it with updated nice UI!

And thank you for posting 3 buildings each week now! <3

Idea: Would it be possible to make the numbers of the production method red if you lack them? And maybe green if you have access to them? It could save you quite a bit of time if you could quickly visualize it as soon as you go into the building construction so you dont have to check the market.

The Supreme Court seems way anachronistic for the Age of Reformation, it should come later, sometime towards the end of the Age of Absolutism or the beginning of the last age. Historically it's more of a concept of the Enlightenment, the various supreme courts in existence today first all sprung up towards the very end of the 18th century, and the 'theory' behind them is based on English constitutionalism which inspired Montesquieu which in turn inspired the framers of the US constitution.

Nice catch. I love the idea of giving them colour themes through their clothing without having to put frames or backgrounds. Makes it easily recognizable by just colour of clothes

Agreed. I thought it was weird. And it should not even be available to all countries. Only those that are a constitutional monarchy/republic.

If as Spain or Prussia you are an absolute monarchy you should not get access to it.

 

[Bozkurt]

Shouldn't supreme court lower crown power?

I don't necessarily agree with that, given that nowadays even the most authoritarian regimes have it as an (not in the game sense) institution. I don't see why it couldn't propagate as an idea/concept even back then, even if it did develop under CM/republic type countries, because they were more conducive environments. Maybe they could put it behind an advance or certain societal values as a compromise?

I dont think any non constituional regime had a Supreme Court in the time period did it? But if you want to approach it from a "what-if" point of view that it could have happened but it just didn't, yes, locking it behind an advance or societal value would work.

I hope that the supreme court is more than just a building with some modifiers. I'd love if having one meant that we'd get events about landmark cases and our laws, which might challenge those laws and force them to change, or have other effects like provoking unrest because a supreme court ruling was unpopular.

I don't think it needs a full suite of mechanics like a parliament does, as much as I'd love to see influential cases being prosecuted, but I hope that it does more than give some modifiers.

As for the modifiers, I think the crown power increase is strange. Some courts might prop up and support the crown's rule, but many would be made to separate judicial power away from the crown. It seems as if there should be a crown-backed "faux-court" building which increases crown power, and a court which reduces crown power for an increase in other modifiers. Better yet, the crown power effects should be based on what laws there are about judicial independence, if those exist.

While that is true, I think it is meant to represent centralization and supreme authority of the state, not the government, but the state. Like it has the last saying on any legal dispute. That is something that severely limits the power of intermediate bodies like estates, guilds, towns and city councils, noble and eclesiastic courts, etc.

Medical school was also posted before,

As others have said, the Supreme Court feels weird as an idea. The UK for instance didn't have one until 2009 (unless you consider the old HoL in which case that is much older). It very much feels like a product of constitutionalism and the Reformation is far too early for it.

I am not a big fan of the production method graphical changes. I find these a lot more difficult to read than before.

Please @Johan, for certain regions/cultures add possibility (unique building or construction option) to build charcoal kiln using clay, not masonry.
At least for East Slavic cultures, others feel free to suggest.

In our lands in Ukraine they used to be built using clay (have a look at the Ostriv game as a good example ):

Otherwise new building information layout is far more readable!
But not so sure about production methods, looks quite asymmetrical.

Unrelated to today's talk but, since we've got confirmation of dynamic cultures, would it not be semi natural to have the ability to rename tags? Ck3 style, if for nothing but RP purposes?
