Wayne23lololh 1,645 Posted July 7, 2024 (edited) Hello everyone, There were interesting foreshadowed features about monarchy, where monarchic countries were specified by rank, like minor countries count, major countries kingdoms, etc... This feature would make the game more immersive and skirmish. This feature would be mainly automatic, except for empires and caliphate. It will be based on three factors : cultures, religion and rank. Based from the videos, I theorize that the rank order is such as it: Local power --------> Regional power --------> Minor power --------> Major power --------> Great power --------> Superpower (optional) Imagine seeing that Ottoman Empire in 1444 is a sultanate, and in 1517 a caliphate ! It will bring more variety to the game. Template : Monarchy Level Monarch name rank needed Benefits Europe/Christian : Will be available for these following cultures : ROMANCE Italian Maltese French Occitan Arpitan Spanish Leonese Asturian Portuguese Galician Wallonian Romanian GERMANIC German English Dutch Flemish Frisian Luxemburgish CELTIC Breton SLAVIC Polish Silesian Slovak Bohemian (Czech) Russian Ukrainian BALTIC Lithuanian Latgalian Latvian Semigalian Prussian When a civilization upgrades, the monarchy can’t downgrade until the leader dies or change (Empire is the exception, where it must be proclaimed by the civilization, if German Empire lost a war and the emperor is still on the crown, it will downgrade to a king, bringing disadvantages).

Legacy points cost : 25 Gold Cost : 25 +20% manpower +3.5 Legacy Points + 3 Prestiges +10% Tax Income +5% Subject Tribute Income +10% aggressive expansion Tribal Government : It would be like that if the country doesn't reach the conditions for the Middle East, Persian, Japanese, Chinese, and Others. I take the logic that a civilized tribe became a Monarchy, without government change, so the Hellenic tribes can be a democracy, by changing its government. It would be based on these following requirements : 1. If a nomadic tribe is not included in the concept of a "tribal kingdom", but can be included in tribal state : Germanic paganism Baltic Paganism Slavic paganism Finnish paganism West African Paganism Aztec paganism Zun paganism Bon paganism and of course Hellenic paganism 2. If nomadic rulers enter the "tribal kingdom" Tengrism (renamed to khanate) Manichaean (renamed to khanate) Shamanism (renamed to khanate) Buddhism Animism (general paganism) Thanks to Денис Живков Tribal State: Tribal State Chieftain Need to be a Local power An evolution of tribe, with lighted malus Construction Cost +10% Construction Time +10% Maximum Manpower –1000 Units Attack –1 Units Defense -1 Tribal Kingdom: Kingdom King Need to be a Regional power Construction Cost +15% Construction Time +15% Maximum Manpower +5% Tribal Empire : Empire Emperor Need to be a Minor power Construction Cost +5% Construction Time +5% Maximum Manpower +10% Tribal kingdom variant ; Khanate: Khanate Khan Tribal kingdom with these religions : Tengrism Manichaean Shamanism Buddhism Then it is converted to Islam (Sunni) With these cultures : Kipchak sub-group (Turkic group) Mongolic group Iranian sub-group (Indo-Iranian group) Need to be a Major power +25% manpower -7% Army Maintenance +2.5 Legacy Points +2 Prestiges +5% Tax Income ___ Tribes, aside from tribal monarchy, should have harsher penalties in core construction, population growth, religion conversion, more easy to be converted, etc... This also will be lighted for tribal monarchy. If it is possible, make tribes more transparent than non-tribal and tribal state countries. The lore can be difficult to visualize but not the gameplay. As always, open to criticism and correction of your part.
