Dynamic Mercantilism

Description
Abandoned: will fix if an update breaks it but wont be adding anything, feel free to cannibalize

Mercantilism just being a button that you click until its high enough is quite lame, especially because most people don't care to do even that. This mod seeks to make a previously boring resource more interesting.

Basically it makes mercantilism a scaled modifier that acts more as an equilibrium point than a pooled resource. Twice a year your mercantilism will increase or decrease towards this equilibrium point.

Modifiers that increase your equilibrium:
- province trade power
- domestic trade power
- goods produced
- trade steering
- certain government reforms

Modifiers that decrease your equilibrium:
- institution spread
- trade efficiency
- foreign trade power
- global trade power
- certain government reforms

Compatible with everything*, built for Vanilla, Extended Timeline, and Ante Bellum. Make sure you load this before any overhaul mods.

yeah I fixed that, realized 100% was way too powerful and set it to 20%. Still working on how exactly the numbers should work

in my game countries are stuck at 0% mercantlism, meaning they are all at +100% trade efficiency, leading to AI lubeck saving up 10k ducats.

good catch

You might want to check the event modifiers file, for me it's not a txt file so you don't get the mercism_global_base modifier

thanks for all the feedback, will be open to more but im now out of brainstorming stage

I think I have a good system set up now, just need to bugfix and resolve an incompatibility with ante bellum
DudeChris33  [author] Mar 21 @ 12:14pm

I'd also suggest looking at Good Produced as a key modifier - Mercantilism was all about the idea that importing is bad and exporting is good, so perhaps you can have a higher mercantilism value without experiencing ill effects if your GPM is higher. Have been playing with the mod already and I like it a lot! Recommend it combined with governing cap clamp and trade goods expanded mods, obviously :)

to my understanding mercantilism is just the state's control of trade. I have represented this by giving trade efficiency and institution spread at low mercantilism and province trade power modifier at high mercantilism. I think the coalition stuff could actually be better in a separate mod, I will look into that in the future

these are all excellent ideas. I have already updated it to include things like subjects, trading bonuses, and production leaders, but I will definitely add the rest of these, thank you :)
