Fuck you kyle, is it because I’m a woman?! A woman can’t be a moth man?! I got news for you buddy, the world is changing. Your toxic male energy won’t be tolerated in my dms!

Just figured this out. I was playing Ashikaga and wondered why my vassals were in endless wars even when the enemy country had no troops and was an easy kill... I had set them all as passive/sleep in the vassal interactions. This makes uniting Japan as the Shogunate a lot easier.

Mercantilism currently gives local trade power and embargo eff. at the cost of increased colonial liberty desire. This means that in nearly every situation it is advantageous to get more Merc. because it is mildly easy to keep your colonies in line.

So having a scale, where high merc. is the same but low merc. gives different bonuses would open up different playstyles. Based on a basic understanding of mercantilism IRL the bonusus might be Improve Relations, prod. eff, at the cost of trade steering or local power.

Any thoughts on whether this is a good idea or on what low merc. would give?

Like in the case of italy, who joined ww2 after seeing which side was doing better. They didnt ally to hitler just because they were fascist, it was also to try and be on the winning side.

In other words the current alignment system, based solely on government type, is awkward. And any mods that change it would be really cool.

Whenever I hear about the war I get the impression that the most important thing that happened was other European countries' reaction to Russia losing. My question specifically relates to Russian response to the loss and the regional aftermath following the defeat.
