When unrest is high enough then it can tick by 20% a month. Theoretically, I think it could progress faster than that although I don't think I've seen it. When overextended your unrest is very high and you also get event giving significant local unrest. This is why some rebel groups will progress at 20% a month whilst overextended even whilst other rebel groups only progress by 10% and some don't make any progress at all.
Overextension does not necessarily mean high unrest. The wiki says rebel progress ticks up by 20% when over 100 OE. In my current game I've seen it tick up by 10% at over 150 OE.
For "Ideas Guy" is it better to start in South Africa, West Africa or America? Kinda indecisive.
Different people think differently ... Some would say America, Some would say South/West africa, Some would say Himalaya ... It depends
Can I view countries which are attitude friendly to me , in ledger or in map mode？
There is an opinion map mode under diplomatic group. iirc it's the one with the green heart icon.
Define better? Many people, myself included, have combined it with For Odin and First Come, First served and start just south of the Maya. I got Ideas Guy before the other two, in 1670 or so.
I know this mapmode. but it's not easy for me to check every green color country to find whose attitude to me is friendly.
Thanks. but judging from the description this is is impossible. First Come, First Served requires you to take no more than 200 points, Ideas guy says you need the full 800.

The description for Ideas Guy is misleading. What it actually checks is:
Code:
NOT = { nation_designer_points = 802 }
NOT = { total_development = 4 }it's just paradox description. Idea guys is max 800. You can take less.
This. There was a whole thread about it recently. You can even combine it with From Humble Origins if you're feeling masochistic. FCFS requires Western Tech, so everything else in your custom nation is crap.
I asked for your definition of "better" because combining them limits your strategy and can take till the mid 1770s b/c of the colonization, whereas I'm sure you could do Ideas Guy faster if you start somewhere richer and stack modifiers.

That's why i suggested Himalaya ... Close enough to Northern India (where you'd be able to form Mughal to get permanent claims on all of it), while a bit off to the side where no one is immediately going to jump you
There are quite a few ways to do Ideas Guy so it really depends on what you want to do. I've heard of people starting in Europe and going conquest happy, others go the colonial route, some combine the two and do For Odin at the same time...
Personally, I first did it starting in Australia combining colonizing the RNW that fed into the Philippines with conquering/colonizing Malaysia and trade heavy ideas...
I don't understand how Tributaries work. When I look under my subjects tab, it says a money Tributary is paying me 6 gold a month (per the tool tip). But that doesn't seem to be right, since I don't see any difference in income when I switch the type of tribute.
The tooltip on the little gold icon under the subjects tab should indicate that the tribute is paid yearly rather than monthly. Your tributaries all pay you at the very start of the year; you won't see it in your monthly balance sheet.
