Province cost discount is heavensent for conquerors. Colonizers appreciate extra diplomats because enjoys travel so damn long from Europe to China. Its best ideas really depend on game goals and regions. Although goods produced is nice when you have a lot of goldmines and admin tech discount is handy too especially if you aren't Western.ĭiplomatic is amazing almost for every type of playthrough. Now I rate it lower than any other idea group including Espionage or those naval ones even in a colonizer game.Īdmin is very good simply because of coring costs, if anything you can only get 2 ideas and refund it later. Back then it was niche good for colonizers. It was decent for colonizers back in the day when +1 colonist policy from Expansion + Quantity was a thing. To be perfectly honest, judging from what you said, you didn't really get a good grasp of idea groups.Įxpansion is utter shit.
