Description:
Expanded Parliaments

This mod significantly expands the role of parliaments, turning them from a limited political mechanic into a more active tool for shaping your state.

Parliamentary requests now have a much wider impact on gameplay, covering administration, economy, religion, military affairs, diplomacy, subject management, internal stability, cultural policy, education, exploration, and more.

Political advancements such as Liberalism and Constitutional Parliament are also made more meaningful, as they improve the value of parliamentary gameplay by reducing the cost of demands and increasing their practical benefits.

In short: parliament is no longer just a background mechanic. It is now a strategic instrument.

If you notice a translation issue, please report it in the comments.


Upcoming Content

More flavour, requests, modifiers, and balance adjustments will be added over time.


Balance Feedback

Balancing is still an active part of development.

Please share your feedback if a request, parliament type, modifier, cost, or unlock timing feels too strong, too weak, or too situational.

When reporting balance issues, it is especially helpful to mention:

  • Which country you were playing
  • Which Age you were in
  • Which parliament type you used
  • Which request felt unbalanced
  • Why it felt too strong or too weak

Your feedback will help improve future updates.
