Development should also be bought

[AndrejK]

Instead of spending valuable admin, dip or mil points on development, you should also be able to boost development by ivesting gold. This is especially for larger countries who may have tremendous amounts of gold and no place to spend them, while the monarch points are needed for tech advances

I thought about that too and I'm sure there were several threads on that topic before
But I'm not sure if the gap between large and rich nations and one province nations wouldn't even get bigger...if it would be introduced, the price should at least be high enough to not just have a cheap tool to boost your country, manpower and economy

The idea is to choose between playing larger or tall. This if you use MP to take land from other nations and take gold from them and then bump up your power even more.

I always found not using gold for development odd. While yes you have ADM, DIP, and MIL points but when your directly developing a area would it not also cost money?

depends what it covers. It also doesn't cost money to bury a former leader of the nation, inaugurate a new one, upgrade all of your armies or implement other technologies outside of new ships.

Not going to happen. Money is for buildings, Monarch points for development.

Then maybe there needs to be better buildings for us to build.

Why not create a state edict focused around actively investing in the local development of the province? Not so much a modifier, but rather after 10 years randomly add +1 base tax/ 1+ production/ +1 manpower to a random owned province within the state? You could increase the state maintenance to more than 200% or have on of the requirements be: has adopted economic/ plutocratic ideas.

Only if you bought the proper DLC.
