Lucky Nations

Adds a Lucky Nations setting like in EU4. It provides substantial advantages to a number of historically successful nations, or up to 30 random nations.

For Imperator 2.0.*.
Should be compatible with everything.

Available settings:

• Historical: A selection of the 10 most historically successful nations.
• Random Historical: A selection of 15 nations picked randomly in a list of ~45 challengers.
• Random: A random selection of 10, 20 or 30 nations.

Additional rules:

• In observer mode, the setting is picked at random.
• Only non-subject, AI-controlled nations are eligible.
• If a Lucky Nation becomes a subject or is controlled by the player, it loses its advantages.
• Historical setting: the advantages are recovered if the nation becomes eligible again.
• Random or Random Historical settings: the number of Lucky Nations remains the same even if some Lucky Nations disappear.

Note: You can identify Lucky Nations by hovering over their civil war threshold.

Lucky Nations benefit from the following advantages:

• Larger levies
• Lower ship, fort and mercenary maintenance
• A demographic boost upon being picked as Lucky
• Lower unrest and aggressive expansion
• More hawkishness overall
• A better political stability overall
• Various minor bonuses
