How To Fix GDP Balanace And Other Sutff

[The Shadow Rose]

After playing it for a few hours it has become obvious the gdp wall is a big problem. Because of it i could not even while playing as japan do anything against china at any time and the gdp is a massive problem for everything else to so heres a few ideas.

#1 low devopment countries need some kind of bonus or entirely new process thought up for them so they can do something against higher gpds.

#2 I personally say the entier gdp system needs a rework but to balance it out you need better and faster growth. Sure .40 is nice but it should be like 4 or 5% as a max. This would require a rework but it would make it so it doesnt take the entire game is not gdp growth. I spend at least 80%+ of my time just going up with my gdp so i could actually do something. And this is a problem with every country in every single game to. Even playing as the USA since you cant cancel events or most of the projects that cause the massive debt you end up with just waiting an insane amount of time just growing gdp where you can do something. Its a massive waste of time. It needs to be fun where you can do almost anything from near the start.

#3 this was just slightly annoying for me but blocs are pointless. You cant annex them politically you need stupidly high relations that dont go up by itself over time and overall just dont matter to the player. First for it you need tolet other nations invite you to their blocs. Then you need whoever made said blocs to be the one in charge of it and no one else. They have to maintain it not you if your invited. To balance this out so you cant use larger nations i would say the only time a bloc would obey you would be in one you made and you should keep the army thing but apply it to joining a war so they wont be used. Alternitivly you can make it so they would join but their profit from said war is however much of the work they did. They did 50% of the warscore they get half the score or territories. To balance it if you only take 1 then if they do like 40%+ the warscore then they get the territory. Also make it so you can war in a bloc without calling any of the other members.

Think thats all i can think of but it really does need some serious rebalacing dev. I really really really want to love this game but spending 80% of the entire map just growing gdp is really bad.

Also add a true sandbox for each of the 3 main campaigns where there is no timed limit. I love taking my time on a game.
