Game Rework Overview

LEGITIMACY
– Positive legitimacy: increases character loyalty and ruler popularity gain.
– Negative legitimacy: decreases character loyalty and ruler popularity gain.
– Legitimacy is affected by tyranny, war exhaustion, stability, and ruler popularity.

SUBJECTS’ OPINION
– Subject opinion is influenced by ruler popularity, tyranny, war exhaustion, stability, and legitimacy.

INTEGRATING SUBJECTS
– Integration speed and subject opinion are modified by tyranny, stability, ruler popularity, and war exhaustion.
– 350 opinion required to annex a subject.
– Gifts have no limit (can be sent repeatedly).
– Improve Relations is more expensive.

BUILDINGS
– All buildings now use trade-offs (positives and negatives).
– Example: Tax Offices = +tax income, but –happiness, –food, +unrest.
– Counter-builds: farm settlements (food), temples (happiness/unrest), forts (unrest/defense).

GOVERNOR POLICIES
– Fully reworked; now very powerful levers for provincial development and control.

POPS
– Nobles: affect technology, pop promotion/demotion, and unrest; also modify output of all other pops in their city.
– Citizens: provide happiness, reduce unrest, lower building costs; generate tax and boost the tax output of other pops.
– Freemen: primary manpower source; add local fort defense.
– Slaves: primary food source and a driver of pop growth; apply negative unrest; provide small tax that scales strongly when citizens are present.

TRADE
– Trade no longer comes from pops.
– Now driven by ports, markets, number of cities, and investments.
– All trade goods reworked with new province and national bonuses.

TECHNOLOGY
– Tech efficiency is lower for low-rank nations and higher for great powers.
– “Behind-the-times” safety net raised so no country falls too far behind.
– Max ahead-of-time benefit capped at 200 years.
– Inventions cost 10.
– Tech tables grant strong buffs — being ahead yields meaningful national strength.

FOOD
– Settlements: high slave output and strong food production; settlement buildings further boost this.
– Cities: slaves produce far less food; city buildings consume food.
– Requires dispersing pops across settlements to sustain cities.

STABILITY
– Grants broad buffs across the nation.
– Investing in stability is costly in tax and trade.
– Political Influence is not meant to be maxed constantly; keep reserves for emergencies (e.g., fast expansion and AE reduction).

WAR EXHAUSTION
– Imposes multiple debuffs (e.g., discipline, land morale, others).
– Best counters: Stability and Devotio.
– Devotio now costs significant tax and trade, scaling over time — long wars become very expensive.

AGGRESSIVE EXPANSION (AE)
– Soft cap/target now 30.
– AE increases war exhaustion, unrest, and reduces happiness for wrong pops.
– Best counters: Devotio and Stability.
– Taking provinces with claims generates no AE.

TYRANNY
– Main source is Devotio.
– Increases tax/trade penalties and reduces character loyalty.

INVESTMENTS
– Maximum of 10 per area.
– Each investment is powerful.

INTEGRATING CULTURES
– Each integrating culture imposes tax and trade debuffs.
– Additional tax/trade penalties apply while integration is in progress.
– Choose cultures strategically.

ECONOMIC POLICIES
– Completely reworked; now very powerful.

GENERIC MISSIONS
– A Cancel option appears when a mission starts.
– If clicked before any mission step is taken, the mission can be completed without penalty so you can pick another.

WAR & PEACE
– At War: +war exhaustion, +unrest, –tax, –trade.
– At Peace: strong economic buffs and war exhaustion reduction.
– Max war exhaustion set to 25.

NAVIES
– Much cheaper; AI will perform naval invasions more often.
