Parliament Expanded
This mod significantly expands the role of parliaments by increasing their direct impact on gameplay and opening up new strategic paths. It introduces a wide range of new parliamentary requests that influence administration, economy, religion, military affairs, diplomacy, and internal stability.
As a result, political advancements such as Liberalism and Constitutional Parliament become far more meaningful, as they reduce the cost of parliamentary demands while amplifying their practical benefits. Parliament is now a better tool for shaping your state.
The mod adds new parliament variants, each unlock with an age and a distinct strategic focus:
High War Council (Age of Traditions)
A parliament focused on war planning and territorial expansion.
Bulwark Assembly (Age of Renaissance)
A defensive parliament focused on fortifications and territorial protection.
Representative Union (Age of Renaissance)
A parliament suitable for states with a large number of subject states.
Sanctified Tribunal (Age of Discovery)
A parliament that places great emphasis on religious conversion.
Chamber of Commerce (Age of Reformation)
An economic parliament focused on free trade.
Board of Trade (Age of Reformation)
An economic parliament focused on mercantilism.
Civic Convention (Age of Reformation)
A parliament focused on cultural acceptance and religious tolerance.
Council of Savants (Age of Absolutism)
A research-oriented parliament dedicated to late game scientific progress.
