Freik's Funding Mod

Description

Had you, at any point in the game had to much money but no way to spend it?
Did you, had the craving for the one buff that would make your life that much easier but no way to get it?

Then this Funding Mod is for you

This is one of the half a dozen "funding mods" that cropped up over the years of EU4's livespan.
Meaning, that in game you can spend ducats to get pernament buffs through the decisions menu.
I liked the premise of these mods but none ever worked like I would have liked so I made my own mod.



- 5 Military, 7 Diplomatic, 6 Administrative Funding Options
- Ability to "buy" Diplomats, Colonists, Merchants, Missionaries
-> Everything comes with an unkeep from 2-20 ducats per month (level 1-10)
-> The levels increase on average every modifier by 5% but there are a few exception like discipline which increases by 1% every 2 levels.
-> You can see which buff the respective decisions provide in game.
- Ability to buy Monarch Power (5:1 ratio)
- Broken English
- Cool text icons



Q: Is this "balanced"?
A: Not rly, the ducat unkeep will probably not pose a problem in late game and you will be able to snowball even further. But isnt this the point of EU4 endgame?

Q: The modifiers all have the ducat icon.
A: To my knowledge this is an engine limitation.The wiki says so

Q: Does this work on version X?
A: Should work on any version with or without any dlc. (Some modifiers will simply not apply if you play on older versions)



Thanks to all the great people who are working on the Europa Universalis 4 Wiki[eu4.paradoxwikis.com], making the modding experience way easier.
Thank you for reading this, I hope that with this mod you will be able to tailor your EU4 experience to your liking!

great mod. Could you add options to change the upkeep? I feel like it's really cheap for the bonuses it gives

i agree on the higher maintenance, personally i feel for all the funding options that doubling the base maintenance of the first level and making every subsequent level double the previous (4-8-16-32-64 ect) but thats probably too steep for everyone else.

Great mod
Need to reduce province war score cost modifier to half or quarter. Or increase maintenance cost by 10 times.
For just 20 ducats a month, I can get -50% province war score cost. By stacking a further 20% via diplomatic ideas, you can get -70% province war score cost as any nation.
Also you can further stack 30% more against different religions via Monuments in Malta and either Monument in Mecca or Council of Trent or Age of Reformation ability.
Which means annexing Ming in single war.

It eliminates HRE election malus for having electors as vassal or pu.

I can't seem to understand a HRE modifier for the HRE funding decision. What does "legitimate subject elector" do?

Plz add more funding ! nice mod!

no cost? wouldnt that defeat the entire point of it being a funding mod? If you're just looking to have some controllable buffs or something, theres a mod called 'custom difficulty' that does that.

can you make a version of this mod with no ducat cost
