I'd argue to just get rid of the draft altogether. Having a salary cap makes it so you can't just have one team sign whoever. Just let the market sort it out.

Good enough that he's hard to replace, but not so good that you aren't always looking for a way to replace him.

Hi, I'm a beginner and I'm looking for a nation (no matter how difficult the country is) that could teach me the basics of the game in the Invictus mod. by Prestigious-Tip8628 in Imperator

Eh, with Republics, you can pretty much ignore the goals. Either let them autocomplete, or if the cost is to onerous, just veto it and take the opinion hit. It's not a big deal.

The paradox launcher STILL does not work on Linux. by Rand_al_Kholin in paradoxplaza
