Hello everyone. We're a bit too busy working on patch 1.13 to make a proper DD today, so I just thought I'd do a little preview of new national ideas we're adding in 1.13.Patch 1.13 is planned for release as a beta patch next week, to be made a full patch later (we don't want to release it as a full patch right now because the team is about to disappear on vacation). It should be compatible with 1.12 saves, but as always, no guarantees. It contains 200+ bug fixes (mostly older pre 1.12 bugs) and a bunch of balance tweaks. As you might have surmised, it also contains a bunch of new idea groups, so without further ado:National Unrest: -1.00, Trade Efficiency: +10.0%Domestic Trade Power: +10.0%Production Efficiency: +10.0%, National Garrison Growth: +25.0%Siege Ability: +10.0%Build Cost: -10.0%, Fort Maintenance: -10.0%Time to fabricate claims: -20.0%Fort Defense: +20.0%, Trade Steering: +10.0%Build Cost: -15.0%National Tax Modifier: +10.0%, Diplomatic Relations: +1Land Maintenance Modifier: -10.0%National Manpower Modifier: +10.0%, Religious Unity: +30.0%Missionary Strength: +1.0%Light Ship Cost: -15.0%, Yearly Navy Tradition: +1.00Merchants: +1National Tax Modifier: +10.0%, Tolerance of the True Faith: +2.00Production Efficiency: +10.0%Infantry Combat Ability: +10.0%, Fort Defense: +20.0%Manpower Recovery Speed: +10.0%Infantry Cost: -10.0%, Yearly Papal Influence: +2Infantry Combat Ability: +10.0%Stability Cost Modifier: -10.0%, Trade Steering: +10.0%Diplomatic Reputation: +1.00National Manpower Modifier: +10.0%, Tolerance of Heretics: +2.00Goods Produced Modifier: +10.0%Mercenary Cost: -15.0%, Fort Defense: +20.0%National Manpower Modifier: +10.0%Fort Maintenance: -10.0%, Cavalry Cost: -10.0%National Tax Modifier: +10.0%Merchants: +1, Trade Power Abroad: +10.0%Naval Maintenance Modifier: -10.0%Galley Cost: -20.0%, Fort Defense: +20.0%Core-Creation Cost: -10.0%Production Efficiency: +10.0%, Goods Produced Modifier: +10.0%Attrition for Enemies: +1.00Tolerance of the True Faith: +2.00, Diplomatic Relations: +1Fort Defense: +20.0%Fort Maintenance: -10.0%, Looting Speed: +25.0%Land Force Limit Modifier: +20.0%Yearly Inflation Reduction: +0.10, Goods Produced Modifier: +10.0%Development Cost: -10.0%National Tax Modifier: +10.0%, Attrition for Enemies: +1.00National Unrest: -1.00Domestic Trade Power: +10.0%, Cavalry Combat Ability: +10.0%National Unrest: -1.00With these, only 33 of the 596 countries in the game now have generic ideas - and of those, several are formable tags that don't need them.
