Start in the Moluccas (Asia) and move capital, so you don't have to pay a ridiculous amount for decent tech. I thought it'd be fun to play as an Oceanic power. The basic bonuses of Dutch Republic are also pretty nice, including autonomy reduction from the get-go. You're basically immune to any sort of hat power crisis, and even if you did mess up your hat power, it wouldn't topple the government. You get above-average monarchs (rulers are generated from the same distribution as regular monarchs, but you get to pick the best of two, and you can sometimes control how long your ruler reigns) and immunity to regency, but unlike republics who have to re-elect to get good rulers, you have absolutely zero RT management problems (so you don't need to spend an idea slot on +RT). Play with one set of ideas, then try something different in the next game.ĭutch Republic is pretty strong for non-European starts. Probably coring cost reduction/diplo-annex cost reduction are good.įinally I'd say that don't worry too much whether the ideas you chose are the most optimal or not.
Want to play in an Indian/Chinese or lower tech group. I'd take inflation reduction for the gold mines, extra colonists etc. If you want to play the emperor game, take diplo rep and +imperial authority. I'd take extra diplomats and AE reduction. Depending on chosen tech group, you might want to get tech cost reduction. Starting in the New world? Get ideas for colonists, settlers per year, extra merchants. It is also a matter of how many provinces you want to start with.Īnd then, how many points for the custom nation do you want? 100/200/800?
Basically you can stay at close to 100 RT.Ī good (or OP) custom nation depends on location and what kind of enemies/competition you'll be facing.
So your nation gets +2 RT after taking the idea. +1 RT is OP because you also get +1 by default.
