Description
Vision of the mod
I always love the idea system of EU IV, but soon found it quite lacking in variation. Thus this mod was started. Its scope soon became wider, adding buildings government reforms and new estates all interacting with the new idea groups. What once was a small mod has probably reached the level of total conversation as it is.

Any chance you can point me to the file you modified for this maybe I can try to disable it? For me at least it feels a little bit too snowbally :D

No its intended.

Hi, when using Idea Variation or Idea Variation Lite the Absolutism mechanic is activated from the start and both me and AI tend to have some Absolutism starting Age of Reformation(could force it even faster than that but I limit myself with it), is it that my version is bad or is it intended? And if it's intended, how could I disable it to only have Absolutism starting in that Age?
I don't think it's a compatibility issues since the only other mods I use are Graphical Map Improvements and some Music mods. Thanks in advance

Both work as intended. The couthouse line can only be built once per state.

workshops and courthouses

"certain building" is not sth I can answer
Pup 20 Aug @ 5:58pm 
ohh okay okay, what about the 2nd thing where certain buildings arent even able to be built?

ive had a game as germany and i had to build a certain building for a mission but couldnt
flogi  [author] 20 Aug @ 2:54pm 
I did built in some building bonuses so that building get available one tech earlier. Thats why all the buildings are activated at the very tech start, but get pushed back to the actual tech by using athe trigger. Thats why the visuals can be weird on occasion.

im a bit confused

when i go and build a certain building (for example: small trade port) it says its obsolete due to my technology level. what does that mean? is it just not gonna work even if i build it or?

and another thing, some buildings like workshops and courthouses arent able to be built

is this all by design or?
