Major Changes:


I.Regional Administration.

Government buildings have been reworked and renamed to City Government and Provincial Government.

City Government requires the province to have at least 15 devs or be next to a province with a Provincial Government.Provincial Government requires the province to be your core and have at least 24 devs.In addition to the effect displayed,a province with a City Government,or next to one with a Province Government,takes 25% less time to auto-core.

Meanwhile,the base MTTH of PAC events is reduced by 25%.


II.Flexible development

Tax,Production and Manpower now affect your country more differently.Tax increases inflation and reduces advisor cost,Production works on the opposite,and manpower lowers the cost for further development.



III.Spoil of War

Occupied provinces will randomly receive an event that reduces their development by 1.The chance(MTTH) is affected by culture,religion and core.For example,a muslim province occupied by Spain is more likely to lose development than a Chinese province recaptured by Ming(and we all know why).


IV.Autonomy Adjustment

Almost all government types have lower autonomy reduction.Stability and some other factors also influence Autonomy.Added "Centralization" royal decree for monarchy nations.Lower autonomy manually is less effective.

Thus Government buildings are also important for small countries.

Minor changes:

1.Added a "Feudal Army" modifier to European nations,which can only be removed by finishing a military idea group.

2.Added a Prophecy system for tribes and primitives.

3.Reduced development in Caribbean provinces.

4.Adjusted some basic and country ideas.

5.Added development cost reduction for some policies.

6.Countries with full Trade ideas can adjust Mercantilism twice as effectively.
