Government reforms feel shallow, please fix

Yes the government reforms look like a big change at first glance but you do not play any different because of them. Its just another button you press every 50 years when prompted. You do not alter the way you play to get them faster and they do not allow for any new ways of playing. Its just a bonus button you press. Though gov reform progress is technically tied to average autonomy, I might add that it still feels disconnected to the rest of the game. And playing e.g. England I had all reforms by 1600, looking forward to not use the whole thing for the remaining time until 1820, unless for trying things just for the fun of it. Add some downsides/disincentives Rework how we interact with government reforms. Progressing should give corruption, switching should let us loose stability, thus: adopting a government reform should give 1 corruption changing a government reform in the same tier should give -1 stability changing government type at the end of the reform ladder should give 10 corruption and -1 stability Make reform points accumulate somewhat slower Reduce the base accumulation from 10 points to 4 points and give additional 3 points when we are ahead of time in administrative technology. give additional points for each tier of positive stability, i.e. e.g. +3 reform progress points at +3 stability Both of course modified by average autonomy. Edit: let legitimacy/republican tradition/meritocracy/etc. impact reform progress. E.g. if meritocracy is only 80%, we should have only 0.8 x base reform progress. Tie it much more into game mechanics Like: each country should have factions to represent its administration The factions, reform progress and government reforms interact with each other also estates and advisors interact with factions Or: rebels can demand a certain reform to be withdrawn and another one be adopted same for too powerful factions same for advisors + if you have admin idea group you have access to a special advisor who gives reform progress Well, these are a few ideas, @Groogy I need to say, that in general I like the reform idea, it's definitely better than the old system!

make reform progress also dependent on buildings (courthouse, townhall)

if 100% of my nation's development is covered with courthouses, this will give +0.5 monthly reform progress,

if 100% of my nation's development is covered with townhalls, this will give +1 monthly reform progress

Why? would you ask... courthouses and townhalls already reduce local autonomy, which in turn gives reform progress!

That's a good idea and a very good point I'll think about it
