1 Mar – New Tech:
ADMIN TECH 7 – Renaissance Thought – I get…another group of ideas! What do I want to do?
I cannot take Dip ideas like Trade that gives us merchants and better ability to use them or Diplomatic with more diplomats. I could grab…
Admin Ideas:
Expansion - And then get another colonist with the first Idea. It also gives me another merchant, and then a third colonist later. Right now no one is in Brazil so I could gobble that up while also expanding in Africa.
Admin Ideas – Admin has a bunch of boost for hiring merc, which I do most big wars. It also gets the ability to increase your governing capacity for states by +25%. That’s strong for a big expander like me.
Economic – Helps many things to make more money.
Religion – Gives me two more Missionaries, Deus Vult to DOW any pagan and then better Missionary stuff, but I have boost with my government, idea, and Defender of the Faith, so this is less needed than others.
Military Ideas:
Quality – Since I have a low forcelimit, making my troops better make sense.
Quantity – Let’s raise my forcelimit and manpower.
Offensive or Defensive – Military boosts for armies.
All of those have value. I am leaning to Expansion, Economic and Admin. Faster and more colonists? Better mercs and stating? Better economy?
I do Expansion.
