Allow provincial governors for local powers

[crownsteler]

The title says it all really. I would suggesting allowing provincial governers for smaller states, but switch to regional governers for larger states.

When the game was first released we had provincial governors for all states. And I think we can all be glad we got rid of that micromanagement hell. But I feel this hurts playthroughs with smaller states who occupy only a single region. They are missing an (imo important) internal management aspect. As a compromise between these two points I would suggest allowing provincial governors for local powers and perhaps regional powers, but switch to a system of regional governors when becoming a major or great power.

The only issue I see what happens when the switch happens. You'll get a lot of unemployed characters all of a sudden. I haven't found a way around that yet. Perhaps just accept this reality?

Another point might be the infliction point of when the changeover happens. The current division of state rank might need to change.

That’s a feature and a boon for smaller countires: they don’t have to deal with governors.

This would be a big problem.

Here’s a possible solution: All countries assign governors per province. (Regardless of their level). But one governor can be assigned to multiple provinces as long as they are in the same region.

But that would mean more micro.

I don't consider that to be a boon at all. I consider it a detriment to playing as a smaller state as it removes an interesting internal management aspect of the game.

That would require a much larger rework of Governors. Currently, they're not very helpful and can be a massive problem.

What if it was just that in your capital region, every state gets a governor, but outside of your capital, governors are regional? That would solve the problem without any of the weirdness from changing rank, and somewhat represents a higher level of control over your core territory
