At tier 5:Deliverative assembly, in my opinion the +5 absolutism is always worth it, if you're not planning to take the pairlament or states general. The more max absolutism you have, the more op privileges you can grant your estates. You can never have enough max absolutism in my opinion, it's always nice to boost it
The autonomy reduction from reforms plus the autonomy reduction from economic ideas is a big brain combo. Especially if you are a nation that makes lots of colonies.
Place as much estate houses in provinces producing bonus resources or the less valuable in states there are no paper or diamond + courthouses would greatly maximize to the governing capacity usage to development efficiency, using 10% of governing capacity in states producing paper or diamond.
The 0.3 yearly army tradition decay can be used by Prussia, stacking with their other naturally obtained modifiers to the point of having a natural 100 tradition and always rolling 3 star generals. Basically it’s only good if you’re stacking it Edit: Viability for stacking also works for Nobles of the robe. I unintentionally have been stacking leader cost reduction to the point of generals costing 5 mil points. I’m getting 3 star generals for 5 mil points. (100% professionalism, officer corps estate, nobles of the robe and any innovative ness)
14:15 states general is much better than normal monarchy since you always get to choose 2 between leaders.Also if you are lucky you can get really good leader and have royalist in power.Also bonuses from facitions being in power.Its always my choice to go.
i think decentralized is always better in MP, MP is all about making the land u have even better, and thus even for countries like Russia u want to have the extra 2 accepted cultures because you will be expanding into a lot of muslim land that u need to accept to make it better.
Ludi and you have different opinions regarding +250 cap or 10% autonomy reduction. I agree with you. Currently on. Japan campaign were I only stated the far east subcontinent. The rest are trade companies
My personal choice is often states general. I really like the possibillity to choose ruler. It is easier to get a good one than by disinherithing. The best part is not loosing stability when ruler is changed. The reform with production boost is good but when you are superpowerfull in mid/lategame, you dont need it so much. So i think that saving admin points on stability is better.
I agree that the manpower is usually better than the tax, but with pisspoor countries I'll take it and switch over later in the game. A country is pisspoor imo when it has a deficit while all the maintenance are as low as possible with a sufficient army size (can be under force limit). Furthermore I agree that tax doesn't scale well, but in the first +/- 100 years tax is often the highest income. So getting a 10% on that can help out. The +5 max absolutism can be very useful before and after the end of court & country. To get the +20 max absolutism out of the disaster you need to be on a certain threshold. The +5 can help you with that. After the disaster it can still be good since you are able to get more etate edicts if you want to without going under the 100 max absolutism. Aside from that I totally agree with the rest.
I use to take the production efficiency reform only while my economy is not well established and is not age of absolutism. I like switch to max absolutism and to stacking absolutism modifiers to get as much estate max modifiers as I can maintaining 100% absolutism, =~ 4 items
I should let you know that base game eu4 with no dlc turns the administrative clergy reform into complete poop, changing the free policy to a normal 10% admin advisor cost reduction.
Also Centralized vs Decentralized Bureaucracy for me is a Tall vs Wide Campaign. Or a Monarchy run vs Republic, since Republics get that bonus for cultural sufferance.
The only time I have ever taken aristocratic court was in a tall play through. I was trying to stack military tradition modifiers to stay around 100 all game
I've taken Aristocratic court once in ironman Prussia campaign. I was playing super tall and roleplaying. Combined it with aristocratic ideas. Helps my military took it lol
The most time for the 4 tier i take the meritocratic because -10% stack with -25% from the estate and - 50% permit you at the beginning to have nearly illimitat monarch points. + events.
I almost always pick the curtail noble nobility instead of the manpower one. I do that because I tend to give all my crownlands away day 1 and wait for the Estate statutory rights to pop to get back to 30% crownland, but in order to make it easier to revoke the privalege later on i take that reform over the other
But +5 max absolutism along with 75%+ Crownlands helps it so that there's no need to fire court and country.... Something I do in my campaign is get to 75%+ and get +5ma which keeps the absolutism above 100 or near it depending on legitimacy
I personally like to take the tax option from tier 2 at least until I take the Parliamentary reform, since it makes it much easier to control the nobility.
There is really only one good reason I can think of why you would pick the tax modifier in the second tier: to be able to revoke the Estatuatory Rights privilege from the nobility and then switch to manpower as soon as you have 50 government reform progress saved up.
@@AbsoluteHabibi I literally start any nation playing on 0% crownland after trying a couple campaigns on this patch. I had to learn the hard way in my Najd playthrough that not all nations get the option to seize 30% crownland for nearly free by granting the Estatuatory Rights privilege through an event but after trying it out I learned that it doesn't even matter. You can simply seize land whenever possible and your provinces will end up around 30 autonomy by the time that you get rid of the upticks from low crownland. The upside of playing this way is that you get to your first technologies faster than your neighbours because you are picking +1 monarch point in each category and you can sell your crownland for a big early game money boost. This way you can immediately take on nations larger than yourself without needing loans for mercenaries. You can sell crownland in two ways: after giving out the 30% most nations get at start for monarch points. Firstly you can seize and immediately sell that or you can develop with like 2 clicks and then sell. For some reason 10% crownland and 0.18% have the same value when you sell out down to 0%. I usually prefer the first option because that will let me get the innovativeness from the first techs more reliably. Then I wait until I can sell again, develop a bit, sell out the last piece of land a second time and then immediately seize and keep seizing all game long.
Damn music in your videos is awesome, i noticed some of civ3 soundtracks but do you have whole playlist somewhere? Some tracks are really good and i couldn't find them.
I'm playing as England, it's 1500. I have reform points to spend but I can't select Parliamentarism. Why???? It just in grey, 3 other options are selectable.
If I would like to make a monarchy were the monarch has all executive power (head of state and government) with a constitution and parliament as legislative body which reforms would you have me choose? I normally pick general states, regional representation, legislative houses, multi-party system (though I get confused because I think if I take a authoritarian rule that would make no sense if im trying to make a balance between monarchy and republicanism) and at last, royal power.
I used to think -10% minimum autonomy in territories doubled your income but then i saw budgetmonk's video on the topic and he's right, you should ALWAYS pick gov cap
Unless you're playing at a WC pace, the ”Strengthen Noble Privileges” reform is kinda daft. In my recent dozen or so games, which ended up being 12k dev by the very end, at some point mid 1500s I flat out stop looking at the manpower number.
Your formula at least he beginning for calculating reform progress is just wrong, you can never get 1 point per month. The formula is 10 per year minus average autonomy. The base is 10 per year so with zero autonomy you get 0.83 per month not 1.00

It's still a lower mana gain than aggressive disinheriting

The government reforms are vanilla since 1.30. Dharma is not required for this mechanic anymore
thats great, one less game mechanic locked behind a overpriced DLC

All that is missing is a video for republics and I am happy also good video

It's 10 growth per year, so the monthly base is more like 0.833 instead of 1, so the equation should be 0.83 * (1 - avg aut.)

Because you start with parliament as England
In MP definetly -10%advisor cost as it inreases merchant loyalty and influence so you can get -10%dev cost
