Fixed Effects Are Back !!!

After the trade update, some weeks ago, the fixed effects pack had been disabled. We needed to remove obsolete effects in light of the new variables employed by the algos of the trade update.

Today, the fixed effects pack is back ! We will alternate effect packs from now on. Some continents will have fixed and other random effects.

Most of the continents in this first week will feature fixed effects.

We've added or modified a few hundred effects.

We've added 7 governance questions.

• How do we avoid clientelism in state institutions ? And at the same time create a competent civil service.

• How do we break up powerful familial clans and kinship groups ?

• How do we deal with with the fact that plots of land will become smaller and smaller as families split their plots in order to pass the inheritance to their children ?

• How do we guarantee state loans ?

• How do we raise capital in case of need or emergency ?

• How do we avoid general institutional decay and the technocratic disconnect ?

• How do we increase legibility and simplification ? The state always tries to make society and the resources it controls more legible.

And 6 societal questions and 1 new collection [ "Worldviews & Myths" ]:

• What are the elites' views about the common folk ?

• What are the common folk's views about the leadership / government ?

• What's the appropriate behavior on the street with women you do not know ?

• What do people believe about the future ?

• What do people believe about our origins ?

• Thoughts on our relationship with the past and present:

• Exceptionalist views:

Custom answers in the fixed effect pack now draw effects from the entire directory of effects in the game. They are no longer limited to 10 effects. You are however limited to a single use.

Custom answers are no longer free if they do not have any effects.

We've added hundreds of new answers too.

We've fixed textual and coloring problems with some of the effects.

We've added some cosmetic descriptions.

We've changed the Insight Meditation's stages to a more detailed list.

We've improved the bibliography of the game.

Thank you!
