loosen restrictions on declaring war, but make wars cost more. Everyone will be happy with that. Big nations get insane amounts of mina quickly anyway. 

 

“Everyone” will not be happy with that. Considering large nations already twist and manipulate current CBs in order to target and stomp on smaller playerbases, frankly there needs to be more ways to counter and stop that. A lot of the new CBs either directly benefit large nations (e.g. Subjugation), while others are able to be loopholed (e.g. trade based CBs, enemy of the nation, stolen relics). Therefore if the restrictions are loosened, and “big nations get insane amounts of mina quickly anyway”... that’s basically a free pass.

Offensive war benefits large groups in the short term, because they’re able to get clicky clicks and bragging rights of having conquered swathes of land. But in the long term, no groups benefit as it either splinters existing playerbases into smaller ones, or creates toxicity between two (or more) factions. Defensive, justified war should be the way to go, so that large nations can’t just scrape together some questionable CBs and attack whichever smaller playerbase they please.

 

Alot of these CBs need to be worded in a way that makes them watertight and completely impervious to “alternative interpretation”.

War can be satisfying, PvP is enjoyable, but it’s also got a toll. Although I enjoy the concept of this system and the high cost of war, I think there should to some degree be Admin involvement and a dissolution of CBs for Conquest.

Done, he pretty much wrote a lot of it.

I agree. People will try and abuse the Change Government Type wargoal by forcing enemies to adopt completely ineffectual systems of organization.

Are you sure you don’t want Dunshire warclaiming people and changing them to the glorious bernardist party?
