How To Boost Monarch Point Income

[DankDansk]

I'm falling behind most European nations in terms of technology, and I want to get back up there and get more monarch points. I am playing a japan campaign, and I have already taken Korea, but I want to get colonizing before the Europeans come and take everything.


I have economic, trade, and admin ideas in that order, a 6,5,5 monarch. Can I go any higher?

You want colonization but you don't have any idea dor colonizing...your leader is good, also no,the maximun a leader can get is a 6 point for each category.

Power projection above 50 gives MP aswell.

Yes i didn't remember of that, if the Power Projectiion is higher than 50 you get +1 mp for each category
For make Power Projection you need to win wars against your rivals,take lands and etc. you can also Humiliate them and you can earn like 50 PP if i remember correctly

the easiest way to get MP is to abuse the heck out of rivals.

Beat up your rivals via humiliate rival CB and pick show strength.

That gives you 100 of each MP and +30 PP.

if you have 3 rivals you can beat without too much trouble, you can get around 300 MP and 90 PP every 15 years.

the pretty much constant 100 PP gives you an extra +1 all MP generation, and 300 MP every 15 years is roughly equivilent to an extra +2 MP all generation per month.

(even if you only have 1 rival, that's still an extra +1 MP per 2 months and might be enough to keep your 50+ PP bonus)

If you had points for ideas but not for tech I assume you don't have institutions which results in tech penalty? If so, get them. Another source of MP is tributaries, if they are big enough you can get a lot of points.

[vituperator]

convert to an eastern religion so you can establish tributaries. Each tributary can give upto 12 monarch points per year

Assuming you can afford to pay the increased salaries...

Also, If you are trailing in tech and have the proper DLC you can do the study technology spy thing against nations ahead of you in an area to generate more mp of that type.
