Description:
Overview

Are you tired of getting bored and earning ludicrous money before 1500s because the game snowballs too much? Well consider this mod.

Months ago I’ve fallen in love with Anti Snowballing mod because it did exactly what I needed – it slowed down the game. As a consequence even in mid and late game you needed to think about how you spend money and you had legimate reasons for expanding and new income sources.

This is a continuation/modification of suspended mod by

What it does

It retains the most crucial rule – because with time you earn more and more money, some costs also increase with ages.

Additionally because base AI likes stalling and going bankrupt, all AI countries get +10% tax efficiency and 2% trade efficiency.

Also the player gets -5% tax efficiency to diminish printing money.

I might adjust the values/mechanics as the time goes, depending how 1.2 will affect the game.

Compatibility

Should work with almost everything, personally I like to use it with Idea Variation mod since it adds tons of good modifiers. Economy Overhaul balances the costs so everyone is not op in 50 years.
