What having the penalty of Trade Companies being applied through Local Autonomy means is that you can no longer “counter” the Trade Company penalty that existed before by simply building the base buildings since Local Autonomy is applied as a multiplier after everything meaning you only get 20% the benefit regardless. First is that they are an old feature and when Local Autonomy was added as a concept to the game they were not updated to follow suit. So even though we’ve added a cost for actually having provinces dedicated to being Trade Companies now. Do you try and maximize to just have as many territories as possible? Do you want to focus on a set of core states? Do you try and extract as much as possible from the territories available to you? A humongous Great Britain expanding their way into India should have to make some interesting decisions in order to draw out the full benefit.Īnd since this feature was added last week UX have not fully caught up so the pictures you see here are extremely Work In Process and just me throwing something together. What we want is that you have to make decisions on not only where you expand, what you conquer but also how you organize that development you just gobbled up. I am looking a bit towards if I can make the Min Autonomy in Territories a bit more of a relevant and interesting feature. We’ve also lowered for now the autonomy of Territories to 90% and Trade Companies to 80%. I want the player to be able to build up his administrative infrastructure as the game progresses.
The idea I’ve been going with was I wanted something that would slow you down and put you where you have to make certain decisions but not feel as strangling as the old system. Instead of trying to fix something broken by putting duct tape over it we decided to just rip out the Max State modifier all together.
Both me and Johan felt over the vacation that we couldn’t take a full month and then not come with something for the next Diary. We talked about some core issues that exist in the game right now, specifically Territory Corruption and Trade Companies. So let’s begin with what we talked about last Development Diary.
