We need to talk about Parliament 

Oh and of course I forgot to mention, you can get -5% tech cost too. Anyway come talk to me here: discord.gg/HaRWvm37Gu And if you caught this video as it was uploaded, I will be live later today, on RU-vid as well as on Twitch under www.twitch.tv/lemoncake101

I like the idea that if the leader is actually paying attention to parliament they will keep on point on the debate but when they ain’t looking they just switch it up cause idgaf kings not looking

Man I loved the quantum particle joke, but feel you missed out on commenting about parliament being unrealistic since it does not give yearly corruption.

Actually, the byzantine/angevine parliaments are not only not weaker than the normal ones (those without the max parliament seats modifier), but much stronger, as you can assign as many seats as you want. You just aren't forced to do it up to a percent of your cores, which means you don't have to tank your absolutism each time you core a lot of provinces.

For the Ottomans there is bounces of 5% discipline for their Janissaries that parliament can give.

As an unreformed religion native, reforming religion also gives you T1 reforms of a country you reformed from and gov progress equal to the rest of reforms, so you can reform from the british / Scotts to get the OP parliament

I give every province a parliament seat and larp as a democratic monarchy, I pretend that everyone has a vote not just landowners

printing a few million manpower as russia with the draft is hilarious also they can just ignore debates bc they have a button in the government to complete it lol

I like to give parliament seats to every province of my primary culture and none to other cultures to rp oppressing my subjects on ethnic grounds :p

0:14 most realistic parliament mechanic

the byzantine parliament is technically is the roman senate but in a very weakened form because no one really cared what they wanted since all the power was pretty much with the emperor and it didnt matter when the entire empire was literally just constaniople

2:14 I don't play around of it as much as it should but i did try it once as Siena, i give Nobility all the privilege and all the loyalty it could ask for before i use Parliment to increase my land share by removing the now powerful Nobility and leaving only diminished Burgher and Clergy. Just one issue, if you playing vassal not having nobilty estates suck.

Quartiering troops is so op when you stack land maintenance, you can go so far above your force limit

Wow I had no idea Parliament issues reset on month tick! Thanks

Emergency Impressment Act instantly increases the number of sailors and could have been very useful in multiplayer but apparently it easily overflows just by adding few modifiers to sailors as GB and the effect changes to LOSING sailors. It's really annoying, I just lost 200k sailors during the war with other players. It's a shame because if you can use both the instant conscription of manpower and the instant conscription of sailors, it would be very powerful. I need Paradox to fix it.

The parliament/senate via the Russian mission tree is uber broken. You can have unlimited seats with no downside aside reduced absolutism. Because all you need to do is press one of the power buttons and all parliament/diet actions instantly pass. No need for bribes, corruption or anything. Its quite literally a rubber stamp politburo. And the absolutism is also easy to overcome as Russia can easily reach the lowest harsh treatment cost of 8-12 mil xp.

parliaments also can give some crazy buffs to the city they are in , you get more tax and specially more trade power , so just give all of your trade cities parliament sits and its not like bribing them is that hard or damaging

Also worth noting Poland and Russia have a few unique debates from the Governing Senate reform and associated mission. They're all very nice and ripe for abuse if you have the reform to swap in and out of parliament.

I looked into ways to get parliament as a republic on the wiki. I found out that Venice has a mission that gives access to a reform that improves stuff slightly for trade and gives you access to parliament (no estates are removed from taking it according to the wiki. It also says it doesn't require the Venice government reform or even staying as Venice, all it says is you need to complete the mission to unlock it). The problem however is that you can't reform into Venice and there are not enough reasons to chose Venice if you want to become Italy, however it at least can be said that you could still become two sicilies and Sardinia-piedmont before you become Italy (the question remains however if the reform is worth it do to the vagueness of the missions)

I love parliament. I don't care for the most efficent plays, I play for fun and I love the batshit crazy idea of being a super tolerant republic in 2nd century (I play with Extended Timeline mod)

I tought it was the cigarete parliament sorry wrong video

Very informative and enjoyable as always, comment for the algorithm gods

exempt impressment is totally balanced trust

I always give myself a parliament In exchange of nothing you get a bonus to every province with a seat and it gives you stuff like extra colonists when you pass acts. Like, not only is it great RP wise but it is also amazing in general. Edit: i have to add that in my last game I got rid of the nobility, the clergy and picked up something that made the burgers dont raise up when i take land from them so I was able to have 100% crownland

brits and parliament? almost as good as lemon and cake

I wish we had a proper Congress system for the USA.

Is it possible to pass issues without bribes? There is a "Chance to pass issue %" in the interface, but I never paid it much attention

I haven't watched the video yet because I'm ar work, just leaving this here for the almighty algorithm

Average British rant about how parliaments exist.

I cannot say how much I love parliamentarism, needless to say that I am planning to do the ''parliamentarism reform'' in my current game.

3:10 i woudnt call the reform farming an exploit, it just lets you trade mana for reform progress

We need to talk about the province tierlist

10:51 much like in real life, the behavior of parliament changes depending on if it's observed or not😂

So you'd recommend always granting a seat in parliament to all your provinces?? I never assign seats and I just let the game assign them for me to cut down on micro and on the bribes required - is this horrible gameplay?

I usually use the parliament as the Moghuls, because you also got the rajput estate and can get most noble priviliges from them if needed and you basically just lose possible 100 gov cap. So no real debuffs, but some strong buffs from the parliament.

What about Norwegian parlament?

Do we really need to? I'm a bit busy

navarra also has parliament

"We need to talk about Parliament" > thumbnail is a picture of the Tower of London, which is a prison

Hey Lemon. What extra benefits does the dutch parliment have over the standard one that makes it closer to the English one. I assume its as of 1.37.

Imagine if they added a nerf to parliament where if you give out too many seats it may result in a disaster happening akin to an estate getting too high influence that results in you becoming a mediocre republic

Damn I need to get a parliament for my own home irl

- Guy Fawkes, 1605

My first time playing as a nation with a parliament I couldn't believe how good they were I literally thought the game was lying to me or something. You're telling me I can give provinces a bonus to manpower tax and production efficiency for free and I get some crazy bonus every 10 years and I only need to spend a few mana points and prestige?

The problem with parliament is giving up the nobility estate

My first experience with parliment was a byz game and i just hated fiddling with it in general i prefer the +1 mil +100 gov cap and the manpower from incresed levies

Is it possible to have -100% dip annexation cost, allowing you to instantly integrate huge PUs? Like, once I was playing as PLC and I got both Bohemia and Muscovy as PUs and it took sooo much time to integrate both of them as I was playing as the "Unite all Slavs and annex Eastern Europe, Middle East and everything that Russian Empire owned", so I _had_ to annex them.

Do you think it's worth having parliament as a monarchy if you have to remove the nobility for it and you don't plan to colonize?, I'm just asking in advance for future playthroughs so I can figure out if it's worth while

Can we make a bill to discuss this in half a year?

Out of curiosity what dlc is needed for that republic reform that gives parliament or do you not need any dlc for it?, Either way it would be an amazing choice for a milan to Italy play through (though it would be recommended to form Sardinia-piedmont for the admin efficiency mission. Tuscany for either the ideas or the diplomat. and two sicilies for the tolerance of the true Faith, if you also stay an Ambrosian republic you not only united the best parts of Italy you also create what would be almost an Italian equivalent of a utopia from around when the game takes place because Italy would be an Italian republic that cares about the wants of its people)

What has Lemon found a problem with parliament today? - Average reform voter))

How do you farm gov reform in a parliament? Google isn't helping me.

I have a few questions. As a republic If you get parlimentarism with the intention to later get federal Senate How long/short could this take (assuming you don't change any reform you chose) without any exploit. Would it have much of an effect on parliament when you do the switch, and what would be the best/fastest way to get parliament in a world conquest as a republic? (assuming you first go with the standard admin diplomatic and religious idea groups, or perhaps make an exception for one of them to get plutocratic ideas early for the reform progress growth)

I AM the senate

Wub

basque parliament?

You get get infinite admin points and stability as France

I just discovered this channel and I absolutely love the content, but… am I the only one who watches your videos at 0.75 speed? I feel like you talk really fast haha

i got 1.2k hours but still don't understand why people love having many estates so much ("don't do that cuz you'd loose nobility estate") beside the +1mil and 100 governing capacity what are they brining ?

Don't worry, I will still click on the video if gigachad is not in the thumbnail.

Gaming

Why is the thumbnail for a video about Parliament a picture of the Tower of London, rather than an actual Parliament building?

i hope i never play eu4 like you do

I don't play EU4, and I don't have a device that can handle the game anyway. I do watch a lot of politics though. Long story short, I was confused with how weirdly detailed the statistics were and why you're talking about a "parliament mechanic" like it's part of a game (because it actually is). However, lets just say that I was quite amused after having realized that you're actually just talking about a game and was not, in fact, applying game-like explanations to real mechanisms and forms of governance, LOL.

another bonus of giving every province a parliament seat is that you won`t get annoying events all the time from cities wanting to get a parliament seat.

This isn't british political commentary...

Bongo

What about Polish parliment?

Parliament 🤣😆🤡

Lost potential for a parliament debates tierlist video

you speak too fast
