city graphic culture change

[|r.τ.α| Tiyanki]

how come i can't spread civilization? i can change the dominate culture but everyone still lives in mud huts

[Ramonkey]

The devs said it’s still on their to-do list

[Ericus1]

lol What isn't?

[Ramonkey]

Removing mana power

[Ericus1]

Eh, they still haven't really finished work on that (omen duration modifiers anyone?), and PP is for all intents and purposes still mana: an arbitrary, non-scaling, barely modifiable resource that nearly every action in the game is gated behind.

I despise it, and it is the single primary factor blocking the player's ability to recreate what Rome actually did. You will NEVER be able to develop either western Europe or the extensive trade network of the empire while expanding to their historical borders, and it's entirely due to PP.

PP is intended to nerf wide and make tall viable, in an era where it was entirely about wide and tall didn't exist.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, the reason so few people play this game is because of Paradox's asinine (though finally starting to change) insistence on making this game resembled as little of the historical period it's set in as possible.

what is pp?

[Ericus1]

Political power, aka political influence.

[Ramonkey]

I didn’t say they actually removed all mana power in the game. Just it’s not on their to-do list anymore :)

[Ericus1]

Touché. You are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

so do we know when the update for the city graphics to change once we change the culture/civilization lvl is coming out? it's not fun when i don't see my great empire bringing civilization to savages even when i've raised their civilization level to max. especially northern italy, completely integrated into rome but still mud huts

[Ramonkey]

Right now they are reworking religions. After that they will focus on culture. One would assume they will fix it in that period... But how long that's going to take?

Hold on where's that emoji. Lemme copy paste it real quick:

Exactly my thoughts, well put.
