Nation Perks

[Malice]

I was looking at the perks and thought of a few ways to theme them, so they sound more like real-world national policies and all that jazz. I also took the liberty of suggesting what form I might like to see the perks take. By mixing up where the bonuses are located a bit, the idea is that people wouldn't necessarily just pick two trees and max them out, as many of the responses say they would.

 

Anyway, here are some thoughts:

I like this but daaaaaayyyyuuummmmmm 15% off infa matched with autocracy for 20% off is way too ridiculously high

 

 

Unless with the addition of nation perks the government perks were removed. That could help balance things.

I'm not sure the existence of government bonuses is the decisive factor here, since they're accessible to everyone. Assuming everyone continues to use them, the really important difference would be that people with development perks (under the suggested system you quoted) get a 15% larger discount on infra. Any nerf would do better to focus on that.

nation perk: all government types give all of the government bonuses

I would take the first three military perks, the first two trad perks, the 1 percent population increase, and then the first two from the War category. That would suit me fine.
