Key thing for that on the design doc is to raise the standards in the fringe provinces. It's expensive as hell and relatively unrewarding and we need to do it every time we absorb a new component and it's almost certainly going to take MORE work doing it for claiming previously unclaimed lands.
But its the kind of thing you need to avoid the Workers Uprising.
 
By the way, while Gylruv and the Black Sheep were smaller, to give you an idea of how badly you were screwed at the 'Bend knee to one group or get ripped apart'

See the general thickness around the Yllthon Sea in Not!Anatolia and the like? Okay, imagine that and the long tail down the lowlands as your territory, with the Gylruv having their full north-south territory down to your territory and just less of Poland and Siberia, while the Black Sheep just had less of India. You had way too high of a border to territory ratio for having two massive landpowers directly abutting you and having strategic interests in key parts of your territory.

Trying to wrap my head around the new system. Two quick, probably dumb questions:
  1. How does stat regeneration/degradation work in this system? Is it still 1/2 towards set point?
  2. For advanced actions that require a stat threshold to be met, do you have to be greater than the threshold, or equal to or greater?
eg: Does Espionage Network require 10 trust or 11 for the advanced action?

Build Espionage Network - 1 PW: -1 Temp Trust, +2 Temp Espionage
2 PW: -1 Trust, +1 Espionage
2 PW + >10 Trust: +1 Espionage, -3 Temp Espionage

Yes, I am going to start off with 1/2 towards set point, unless within 1, in which case it returns to the set point. I have a feeling that this will require fine tuning.

I will see about getting in a proper 'Greater than or equal' sign, but it is intended to be greater than or equal.

I am glad we decided to pull an Xohyr.

Please don't unleash those ideologies on the poor bastards.

Also, be sure to think of the overall metagame. Last thing we want is a nuclear cold war, or worse, a nuclear apocalypse. That would be a true "Game Over".
 
@Academia Nut
Few things, the design document is missing an outline header for the actions section.
Also a question, how will the midturns work? You said earlier about stockpiling PW to spend during the midturn crisis but that will leave us with enough PW for ~2-3 actions per turn at most. Is that intended and how are we supposed to ever be pro-active with an unknown PW hole during each turn?
Have you considered about increasing the PW cap/generation?

The design doc was mostly a place for me to put down thoughts, but I will be refining it and turning it into a proper rules document going forward.

Midturns will be your chance to react to certain events. Some of these events may generate or consume PW, as can the decisions you take in reaction to them.

PW cap and generation are intended to be increased with more sophisticated governments and technologies.

How is the great forest doing?

Fairly well. It remains a managed forest, but since getting access to the Gylruv northern forests many of the forests have been switched over to more parkland or orchards rather than intensive use for fuel or building material. There is still some incidental fuel production from fire load management, and there is always need for more local building materials for personal projects, but most of the infrastructural wood is sourced from the northern boreal forests.

How big of an area does the Sacred Forest takes?

Norwegian here, that doesn't work. Like, the whole reason why Norway is independent in the first place is that Denmark-Norway tried to remain neutral in the Napoleonic war, and as such when Sweden came for Norway Denmark didn't have any friends.
Meanwhile, in WW1, Norway was only technically neutral, with the Entente having pressured us into supporting them in every way possible.
And of course, in WW2 Germany just straight up occupied us.

I stand by my opinion that we should make an alliance between us, the Triple Crown, Stormyn and possibly the Black Sheep to avoid us getting dragged into that mess and lay the groundwork for a later diplomatic merger.

The Black Sheep probably won't care enough. In fact, they'd egg Hespranxer on to weaken the Saffrynites in the Monsoon Sea so that they can finally conquer the rest of Kus.

We literally just voted to stay out of an alliance that likely includes at least the Triple Crown and Stormyn.

[] [War] Joined in on the Alliance to Restore the Monarchy (major participants: Vortuga, Sketch, Tortun, Etal, Halvyni) (1x)

Participants:
-Vortuga (Portugal-Castille)
-Sketch (Scottish Britannia)
-Tortun (Little Germanies)
-Etal (Little Italies)
-Halvyni (Netherlands)

The only participants are Hespranxer's immediate neighbours. This is the War of the First Coalition we're seeing here. Thank goodness we stayed out of that mess.

EDIT: If we're to join let's wait until the Fifth Coalition or something.

We do need to focus on building up our, at the moment, middling military.

When Napoleon starts to get really active, we should try to have overflowing military.

Because Fuck Napoleon.
 
@Academia Nut

How free is the exchange of ideas in the Ymaryn Empire compared to our rivals?

Does the Government have control over it or is it mostly free as long as you don't actively forment revolution (I assume it's fairly free as we invented those ideas and then used them to set our neighbours on fire) or are there restrictions?

Do any of the civs we know of have something like corporations or whatever is the next step for guilds?

Napoleon is never happy with what he has and will always go for more. Also his successors showed that they needed aggressive foreign policy to not be deemed failures in comparison to their namesake.

Peace with Not! Napoleon is just another word for a temporary ceasefire
