Now as a member of the Andean Tech Group, there are some major disadvantages we have. All four tech groups which are considered Primitives (North America, South America, Andean, Mesoamerican) have the following constraints:
1). Reduced income from gold. Gold is not a ticket out of the area.
2). We cannot build any boats. That means we can only move by land and cannot expand navally, even if we were to take a naval province.
3). If a primitive goes to war, then they can be annexed by nations that use the CB from the Exploration Idea group. They can be easily gobbled up, no matter their size, by these. Also a colonial nation declares war on a primitive without causing a ruckus and so forth
Most of the nations here are either Tribal Monarchies or Despotic ones, and about evenly split between them. The lone exception is holy state and Theocracy o fIchma in the Lima are, where the Oracle of Pachacamac is consulted by all of the local and powerful rules for centuries and centuries, since at least 700 AD.
We are an Inti nation following that religion. What does that mean?
Inti:
+1 Tolerance of True Faith
-0.05 Monthly autonomy Change
+2 Conversion – Inti are easier to convert to other religions
Inti nations have an authority value that increases with the ownership of larger lands and decreased autonomy in them. Authority decreases if autonomy increases in those areas. As you get more authority, you gain stability cost bonuses and reduction of unrest.
So if I lower autonomy in a province by 25%, we gain 5 authority, and we lose 5 for raising it. We start with 0 Authority
An Inti state with 100 authority and 10 provinces can pass a Religious Reform. When they do, their authority drops back to 0 and a pretender rebellion begins. These are the 5 reforms you can do, and you go through these various cycles:
Reforms:
• Organized Recruitment: Manpower Recovery Speed: +10%
• Expanded Mitma Policy: Morale of armies: +10%
• Reform the Cult of Inti: Yearly Legitimacy: +0.5
• Yana Lords: Colonist: +1
• Reform the Bureaucracy: Core-Creation cost: -10%
Once you have all five reforms passed, if you are next to a Western nation, and you can reform the entire nation and religion. Doing so gives you a tech boost and a bonus to religious reforms later on.
After we reform the Inti religion, we can westernize. But only then.
