Hello all.Sadly we can't yet talk about the big feature of Common Sense, Subject Interaction.. As we are completely redoing the interface for it, so it has to wait until next week.Instead, we'll talk about a major change to the Holy Roman Empire, and give you the new achievements for 1.12.Imperial Authority has had a significant rework in 1.12. The old system tended to advance or retreat authority in big lurches and was very open to exploits. It also did not take into account how well the Empire was doing overall, and there was little benefit for the Emperor to maintain a large number of member states.This has been changed in 1.12, as many of the events that gave Imperial Authority have been replaced with ticking values. The monthly change to Imperial Authority is now displayed in the interface, and will depend on factors such as:- Whether there is peace in the Empire- Total number of member states- The amount of HRE territory held by outside powers- The amount of HRE territory held by heretics & heathens- The number of electors and free citiesAn Emperor who is doing a good job will see their Imperial Authority naturally grow without having to resort to methods such as annexing states when authority is at 0 only to release them again later, while an Emperor that allows outside powers and heretics to dominate the Empire will find themselves unable to pass reforms entirely.As part of this change, we've also revised the old 'Imperial Integrity' modifier for having more than 25 princes. We felt this modifier was both too strong and too arbitrary, so it has been removed. Instead, the HRE reforms were buffed to provide more of an incentive for members to vote for reform.- As Teutonic Order or Livonian Order conquer all of the Russia Region and make it Catholic.- Get 7 free cities in the HRE that are not of German Culture, as Emperor- Have 3 colonial governors directly appointed by you at the same time.- Get through 11 Issues in a row in Parliament- As GBR, all in english region, with 25 development.- Create a City with 60 development.- Have your dynasty on 8 thrones at the same time.- Become Protestant and get maximum amount of traits.- Have 10 different War Reparations being paid to you at the same time.- Subsidize 3 different allies at least 50% of their monthly income without running a deficit.- As Hungary, Conquer all of Austria.- As Ayutthaya conquers all provinces in Indochina region- As Ceylon conquer all of India and convert it to Theravada.- As France, conquer Vienna, Berlin & Moscow.- As France, hold 100 european core provinces before 1500.- Have 3 Vassals & 2 Marches at the Same time.- Maintain 21 different overseas Subjects with more than 5 provinces each, without anyone having more than- Trade Companies does not count.- Gain at least 1M Manpower.- Form a federation of at least 6 nations as the Iroqious.- Conquer and core Dublin as Bohemia.- Make Trebizond into an Empire.- As Lucca, own Lucknow!- Form Prussia and get 125% Discipline.- As Saxony own all chinaware provinces.- Have highest tradepower in Genoa, Venice, & English Channel, while gaining 300 income per month.
