How much "pain" is this causing you?
2

Please explain the issue you experienced in the most condensed way possible
I have two modifiers on embarkation cost, Longships (the innovation) and Excellent Longships (a modifier from the "Worthy of the Ocean" event, fp1_yearly.0641). They give 75% and 50% embarkation cost respectively. The result is that embarkation is free for me. This feels unintended - they should stack multiplicatively.

Please explain how to reproduce the issue
Acquire a set of embarkation cost modifiers that sum to 100% or more.

Is there anything else you think could help us identify/replicate the issue?

One other note I'd like to make, it may be worth considering a different bonus for the longships events - with the innovation, Norse will always have very cheap embarkment, so reducing it even further is a pretty trivial bonus. That's not so much a bug as just a questionable design, but it would be an easy change.

Also works with Legacy of Piracy from the "Elevate the Kingdom of Mann & Isles" decisions, for 100 years of free embarkation, which is really nice when going for the "King of all the Isles" achievement, please don't nerf =P

Nerf it please. Don't make this game too easy

I think this might also occur if you have both the West African Canoes and Longships cultural innovations too. Generally if I'm not mistaken in CK3, % modifiers (stress gain and loss being prominent examples, also knight effectiveness) are handled additively, not multiplicatively. I can understand making/wanting an exception on this one myself, as at this point Norse cultures generally seem stupidly OP even without free embarkation, but that is generally in line with how the game handles % bonuses.
