Hi everyone, thank you for your feedback! After some testing, I've updated the values. Modest effort now costs 5% bureaucracy (instead of 500), increased and extreme effort cost 10% bureaucracy. The fixed promotion costs have also been halved across the board. I hope this will make you have a better time playing minor nations. Let me know how it plays out for you.

Good mod but I think we should use precentage instead of a certain number

Steam users trying to read comments challenge: Impossible

He literally explained why he didn't do taboos below...

You should do the same for taboos

Finally, i can make my chinese citizens addicted to all kinds of alcohol and tobacco aside of just opium.
Time to do some gambling.

Really love the mod, thank you for your work!

One note though: I was playing as Norway, used the decision to add fish obsession, and after forming Scandinavia (and adding swedish/danish/icelandic/finnish as primary cultures), I couldn't use the decision for staple goods again to add fish to the other new primary cultures. Any way around that?

I do agree with Memir Masher suggestion, should be a percentage.
Great mod

Hey, I think you should remove the 40k government expenses and use something like -10% buerocracy.

It does not make sense that a small nation like Switzerland and a huge nation like China spend the same amount of govermental effort for this kind of job.

Definitely going to check this out, looks rather neat

@ppengwin Originally, I also wanted to mod taboos, however, they are tied to religion, not to culture. I have not come up with a solution for countries to only influence taboos inside their sphere of influence.

@牛奶大魔王 Thank you for including my mod! I added the link to the description. :)

Great mod! Would also love if it could work in reverse, so I could manufacture a taboo for Tobacco with my pops, for example

Didnt even know obsessions were a thing

Greetings! what a great mod, I want more Chinese player used it so i have translated it inside V3 Chinese submod mod
would u make a line in description

Here is my Chinese localization. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2880069248

@0kram Appreciate it! I added you to the description if that's alright with you.
P.S.: You are right, the German and English version do differ to some extent, just because some sentences sound better in one language. So you did well to make use of mediation rather than literal translation. :)

@God Gamer Which modifier are you talking about? I could go for a bureaucracy cost multiplier. All I could find for bureaucracy population cost is a state-modifier. Maybe this could be applied to all states of the country, however, this would result in increased bureaucracy cost for states which don't even have primary-culture pops. But I like the idea!

Peter Zwegat, thanks for this mod
Here's a russian translation: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3487106050

really really recommend using the bureaucracy population cost modifier instead of a static cost so that the costs scale with how large your nation is. It'd be a lot easier to influence trends in the Netherlands than in the USA for example

oh, interesting!

Great point. I added a "Show" and "Hide" decision in the latest update. Thank you for your feedback!

I wish you would add a decision that either shows it or doesn't or launches an event that allows you to use this mod, It's a great mod but it just makes it a bit harder to go through the decisions as it takes up most of the decisions

love this cant wait to have my 'mericans who are meat, gun, and tobacco obsessed!

Glad to hear it, thanks! :-)

I really like this, honestly, I expected it to be more unbalanced but it's really fun to have in a game. Thank ya!

Yes, I agree. 2000 just cripples your bureaucracy in most cases. I adjusted the values for increased and extreme efforts to 1000. Thanks for your feedback.

Do you think that might be better to be -1000 bureaucracy for Increased Promotion Effort
