I understand nerfing the subjugate but you completely made it irrelevant, even taking the leviathan option now gains infamy plus the malices included from the principle. Why? completely ruined the ability to play as sovereign.

Whats the point of the soverign wealth fund ?
It just replaces shopkeepers with bureaucrats.
Is that all ?

I noticed strange principles in the original blocks. For example, in Britain.
They don't have icons, instead there is a smiley with a letter and very strong bonuses.

Is this some kind of idea to strengthen the majors or do I have a mod conflict?

Also I seem to be running into an issue where when I disable the "Mandate Overhaul" to make it the Vanilla system, it still uses the overhauled version instead. I cannot figure out why and I have tested with and without the Superpower mod.

I'm not sure if the
33% Mandate Progress from Cohesion" buff from the "Propaganda III" principle is working, could someone else concur?

why im not able to use creative legilature in a Trade league?

deregulation with the investments doesnt work

I have a problem with Power Blocks, but I don't know if it's a bug or intentional.

VG.

Here's a method I've been using to make playing with both Super Power and Power Blocs Expanded more enjoyable. The addition of Super Power slows down the authorization speed—authorization only calculates national rankings, and often by 1870, less than half of the authorization slots can be filled.

We can go into the "common" folder in Power Blocs Expanded, find the "power_bloc_identities" folder inside, copy the txt files within it. Then, use the same method to locate the txt files in Super Power, paste the copied files there. Remember to delete the original files and make a backup first.

I haven't tested this method in depth, but it's clear that the authorization speed has improved significantly. In the test, Britain's weekly authorization speed increased from the original 5 to over 20. If you're troubled by this issue, you can give my method a try.

Some of the effects dont seem to be working i.e. Economic Imperialism 3 - no additional company, Unity 3 - no additional cohesion.

I am seeing this mod in my crash log:

on 1.9.6.
None of the power blocks have a mandate related to holy war.

I love this mod. Really great work adding depth and balance to the system. I love the new mandate calculation, and especially the 'late start' mandate drop, very well done.

I just have one suggestion, apart from the various bugs and goofs others have mentioned. Make creative legislature an open principle again, don't tie it to ideological unions. That -33% stall chance for all bloc members is universally useful, it REALLY helps the member countries make constructive progress on reform - something that the AI is incredibly bad at. The AI also likes it for their own blocs, so letting them grab it more often leads to a more interesting world with more challenging opposition, as I have found personally having made this change myself using your mod.

That's my only major suggestion, though. In general I think you've done a great job giving the blocs more depth and unique character, and I very much agree with this design philosophy in general.

It seems the Deregulation Principle isn't actually granting investment rights between members. It does seem to create the treaty, as after editing it to notify me and removing the Principle I get approximately 2983059 notifications of the treaty breaking, and when I re-add the principle I do see the treaty type reappear in my save between members in the bloc, but I still can't invest in my Bloc Members. I don't have any major mods that touch Principles other than this one, and even moving this mod to the very bottom of my list didn't change that, so I don't think this is a Mod Conflict. Great mod other than that though.

the innovation cap modifier is set to country_weekly_innovation_add = 5, if you could change it to country_weekly_innovation_max_add = 5 would be very cool thank you Kate!

When having a Ideological union bloc, using the bloc regime change has no effect on laws- I could be mistaken but I have little mods, and don't see any overlap with other mods regarding diplomacy/blocs

Hey one minor thing I have noticed is that the number of possible countries to invite to the bloc is in the wrong position it is on the left almost between the buttons, but otherwise this mod is perfect

Sovereign Wealth Fund makes company HQs more efficient. Lower wages and higher relative investment, so your investment pool is buffed.

What's the point of sovereign wealth fund? Company throughput bonus is very small, and employment of bureaucrats and clears instead of shopkeepers do some weird things: bureaucrats have higher SoL than capitalists although they get almost all their wealth through wages not dividends

Also, this mod is the best power bloc mod out there , no doubt! thank you for creating this, i look forward to playing with it for a while.

Dev, Please add the innovation cap back to the education instead of just innovation, it slows the game down too much, thank you for reading!

Could we get the new 5% birth rate for religious convocation included in the mod? I like pop growth max strategies. Love the mod :)

I feel like making Subjugate and Religion/Regime Change cost infamy, even at a 50% discount, is too steep and kinda kills the reason you'd go for those types of Blocs in the first place.

The whole reason I go SE is to be able to vassalize the likes of the Netherlands without blowing up my infamy score. If I was okay with the infamy, I would just puppet them thru war and be a Trade League bloc instead.

@QAnon Update your mod update your mod update your mod update your mod update your mod update your mod

You're complaining about a bug I fixed yesterday and a bug I fixed a whole week ago. Is it really so hard to verify your mod is up to date first?

Two bugs:
First, the map mode for power bloc leverage doesn't work. Makes it hard to expand your bloc.

Second, the External Trade principle is broken. The "Influential Trade Center" modifier removes all employment from trade centers. This makes trade impossible.

I’ve never tried but it should be, it doesn’t depend on anything loaded. Removing it mid-game would cause some wackiness though since some modifiers are permanent and supposed to be dynamically added and removed by the mod on the back end.

Yeah is this save game compatible?

is it ok to add mid game

Possibly stupid question, have you thought about adding more principle groups?

Fixed map mode and collective bargaining power

The broken map mode for Powerbloc makes it hard to determine anything related to powerbloc influence. Keen to see it resolved soon

I believe Collective Bargaining still needs to be updated for the new trade system. Seems like it does nothing currently.

@IvanFTW It is not, I played with it today

Yeah External trade is still broken

I'll fix the map mode tomorrow

do i still need to merge every mods for mp, also can you help me how do i merge them?

I also have the same UI bug as @Jvr, where the new form of selecting map modes isnt working and therefore i cant access the leverage map mode

Are you considering adding precious commodity paper to the company

Question, is this mod balanced around the base game power bloc principles or its own? The new ones seem significantly stronger from what I can tell.

There's a UI bug with the power bloc screen, it is missing the leverage map mode and you can't acess it anywhere else

Nevermind, can dirsegard as I'm a rockbrain. Forgot to update my own submod of your mod lmao

@Kate the Sibyl I think they External Trade 2 bug is definitely still present. Updated the mod, unsubscribed/resubscribed, etc.

@TheFinalBoss Update your mod, when you posted that comment the fix for 1.9 (which fixed that) had already been uploaded lol

Great mod, but the Leviathan Principle is by far the most broken in the game, even tho it "penalizes" you compared to the vanilla mechanic it still is even more unbalanced for 2 reasons: first one is that you can subjugate major power, second one is that the infamy calculation is a base value that is super unbalanced compared to what you would normally get.

bug: external trade 2 will brick your game... it messes up the employees in a trade centre... sets it to 0.

unironically my favourite mod on the entire workshop

Amazing work modder, one of my favourite mods on the workshop.

Thank you so much!
