Voltaire Nightmaire expansion balance

Updated to 1.37,

Aren't you tired when playing Voltaire Nightmare's mod to have every europe province at 30 dev ?

To be able only to take 2 or 3 cities every wars because of heavy Aggressive expansion and high province war cost ?

To have few challenge late game ?

Then this mod is for you :)


This mod is a rebalance Patch for Voltaire Nightmare and you can find the mod Here.

The complete modification of this mod :


As you may know, after 100 - 200 years at the original starting date, each HRE prince and small nation develop like crazy all there province as they have in reality only few mana to spend beside technologies and stability.

To counter balance that all nation with less 8 provinces (and aren't kingdom or better and with less than 300 dev in total subject included) will now get the following modifiers :

• +25% development cost
  
• +50% stability cost
  
• +10% all power cost
  
• -15% reform progress modifier
  
• -0.5 yearly absolutism
  
• +20% liberty desire in subjects

So now if a nation stay small he will get some good debuff for until they grow a bit more. It is to represent historicaly that very small duchy doesn't have the power and the influence to develop their nation or keep subjects.

But to help them each minor power get Province war score cost reduction , Aggressive Expansion impact less and reduction of the cost to fabricate claim.
So even inside the HRE you will get more regional power and less very very small prince everywhere.

Also for one province Minor they get an additional 25% on development cost debuff unless they belong to a trade league or is a free city.


To help Expansion before the age of absolutism. You will get gradualy more Administrative Efficiency as you progress in the Admin technologies.
To prevent late game a 90% Admin efficiency for everyone, the ADM efficiency you get from late game technologies are less powerfull.

Kingdom and Empire rank give Province Warcost reduction. A benediction or maybe a trap of Aggressive Expansion.

For more late game challenge you get the debuff for having a large empire (750 provinces or more , OR 4000 dev subject included).
This debuff concern Aggressive expansion , liberty desire from subject, global unrest and a little bit of Admin efficiency less. This apply for players only as AI struggle already enough to become large.


until you adopt the Renaissance, you will gain 25% less reform progress each month.


This mod ask of course Voltaire Nightmare to work.
