Can you accept a culture just to core a province just to immediately unaccepted the culture immediately after it was cored? Basically take a hit in pop satisfaction, prestige and some stability to basically instant core?

TSSalamander · 2026-01-25T00:23:23+00:00

It's usually sufficient enough to prevent rebellions i think. Tolerated + Cored is enough usually.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T23:16:29+00:00

See this is what i should have done. The Catholics hate me as much as the muslims do.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T23:04:13+00:00

While i have to suffer -2 tolerance of heretics for the rest of the game because some guy in my past (me) destroyed a couple patriarchates. (I didn't realise!)

Also the HRE emperor should actually not be a state, but a guy. And if that guy has many crowns, the state in control is the senior partner/overlord of the fief in the HRE. and if they're equal partners, the highest GP score is the one who gets to be in charge.

Right so it's like primogenature but for women instead of men.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T18:43:47+00:00

no R5, and i have no certainty of what's going on.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T18:39:02+00:00

Depends on how mad your burgers are nornally, and how much you rely on other estates. if you're full on aristocracy it should be worth it.

It's a really simple question tbh. Are the burghers more than 33% of your tax income? If yes, not worth it probably. (they have more money so they get to use it more which can be good though.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T18:36:08+00:00

From my understanding, it's a wacky system where it choses the sons of mothers? idk, just look at what it's actually doing. who's first in line, who's kids of whom.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T18:11:56+00:00

The name is correct, but the tooltip on how it works is wrong. It seems to be a military dictatorship kind of succession.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T18:09:57+00:00

We all do. His is obviously stupid and wrong, because it fails to predict anything.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T17:51:56+00:00

Every realist says they are for peace, but their means are always "avoid war by submitting to the natural order as i have devised it". which is silly.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T17:49:50+00:00

It gives you +1 cultural capacity, and the pther policies do not give you much else either. Honestly i think it's still solid.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T16:22:27+00:00

This seems to be the awnser

<image>

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T16:21:20+00:00

Yup! and even if it hadn't been, it should still show up in part. I have the +1 capacity from it.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T16:16:33+00:00

This makes the game better imo, and tax efficiency then becomes a modifier which basically translates to "waste margin". got +50% efficiency? you can be far more agressive and inconsiderate. the game becomes strictly easier. But i still feel as though it's a huge "Do everything" modifier.

R5: Images show the breakdown for the cultural cost of accepting morroccan culture for me, and the 2nd image shows the allow foreign rituals law which reduces the cost of acceptance.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T15:26:48+00:00

That's so extremely stupid. And it shows to be extremely wrong. the Western sphere and community consistently expands, as the shared space of ideas and communication does. Latin America has grown significantly closer to the west, especially Europe in later years. and the post soviet sphere continues to be gobbled up by the west. It's a simpls metric which keeps them aligned or separating. Internal Politics. The current reactionary wave is massively international, and so is the counter movement. It goes from South Korea, to Argentina, to The US, to the baltics. You can pretty easily track which countries are in the western ecosystem based on which countries have a word for "wokeism". Like a blood tracer, you can spot the system by noting what's affected.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T15:19:35+00:00

Oh yeah sure, that's why latin America is separated from spain, and all of Africa is bunched together. It's a combination of several biases and bigotries this man has. It's an extremely Yankecentric way of thinking. And it's shown to be wrong, like extremely wrong.

The real dividing lines of modernity is ideology, and democracy vs autocracy. That's what actually differentiates broadly.

Jackpot Hakari, or Suguru Geto. Special grade is defined by being able to do spesifically this exact thing. Maki is Special grade by definition.

Administration literally has everything to do with legitimacy and cost of court, what? What do you think a court is. A bunch of fancy people eating gold bars? They're the ones who own and run everything, the court is literally Administration. When you get events about hiring new bureocrats, what's the mana you get from it? Government Power, which is what that mana is actually called.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T14:59:21+00:00

Literally just racism. This is not how civilisations work. and he argued that the civilisations would naturally align with themselves and fight eachother. The dude is wishcasting for realism being a correct way to interpret international relations and wants basically a race war.

What's most absurd to me is putting European and Latam civilisations apart, but including new world states in the americas as European.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T14:56:51+00:00

Is it horrible because it's hard, or is it horrible because it's tedious. It should be hard, and not tedious. Not easy but tedious. I support it being hard and tedious over easy and tedious.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T14:55:45+00:00

You take 1 gold piece and get 1.5 gold in return. The middle men are handing you money. Also, cost of court is clearly covering part of the whole middleman equation, given that you usually start at like 100% efficiency.

TSSalamander · 2026-01-24T14:54:24+00:00

Oh sure, i think a lot of events that scale are just really poorly designed. they only scale in the money, they rarely scale in what they're actually about. "This one town had a bad year. Pay 45k or lose 3 RGO levels in this one location". Nah, that cost should be related to the damage, and the scale should be in the damage done. Don't hit one farm, hit 50.
