you can cockblock your rivals of different religion from building colonies by spamming missionaries in the provinces they are trying to colonize. they will convert their pops too, effectively blocking them from getting the required percentage of right religon and culture

New tinto talk, this time featuring economy, food and estates rebalancing
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-extra-economy-more-23rd-of-january-2026.1896543/>goods production efficiency now depends on input raw goods in markets
>goods demand from estates rebalanced
>goods now cost less trade capacity to import, raw goods cost more
>Potential tax base renamed into "Wealth"
>untaxed money from locations now goes to estates, making them more powerful in low control territories
>Paesant Enfranchisement mechanic introduced, which dictates how much money nobility steals from paesants, tied to Free Subjects vs Serfdom values
>proximity nerfed from rivers and several sources of cost reductions
>bailiffs are not a proximity source anymore, they instead give +20% local control and there's a limit on how many of them you can build
>new buildings that act ad mini capitals that provide 80 proximity, limited in number by advances, contry rank, reforms, privileges
>game now tracks if a location has a road network reaching your capital or not (?)
>food decay modifier added, which depends on climate and hostile armies presence
>doubled population growth from stored food, changed food purchase logic prioritizing starving provinces
>RGO food production maluses for towns and cities removed
A
Anon01/23/26, 14:35No.2326723
>Estates now keep a bit more money around, before investing in buildings, and the amount of wealth they have impacts their power directly. So if you have low control you will have powerful estates reducing your crown power and abilities even further.
So they're reinforcing the vassal spawn meta early game even harder.
Start game, release vassals everywhere with low control.

New Tinto Talk is up
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/developer-diary/tinto-talks-96-28th-of-january-2026.1897673/We have made around 200 content fixes and tweaks for 1.1 ‘Rossbach’.
>New disaster for Brandenburg and a dozen new German advances
>Tengri get 8 named gods
>7 new achievements
>Manchurian Setup Rework (Cultures, pops, harbors adjusted in China. New countries added)
>Food & Tools in Andes & Mesoamerica (copper tools and jewelry for Native America)
>We have worked very intensively towards improving the existing situations, fixing bugs and making tweaks. (too much to summarize, read them yourself. Japan does get some tweaks)>For 2026, we have two main goals in the Content Design team. On the one hand, we’ll keep improving the quality of the base game, with more fixes and improvements, while keeping adding additional free content in the base game patches. In this regard, I think that 1.1 ‘Rossbach’ gives a good idea of what to expect from now on, and what our main field of work is. In this regard, short-term and mid-term, one of our sub-teams will keep working on fixes for the 1.1 Open Beta, while another sub-team has already started working on further setup tweaks for the 1.2 patch - as that’s the part of the CD work that requires more time, as you may know if you followed the Tinto Maps series.
>On the other hand, we have already started working on new content for the first DLC, Fate of the Phoenix. It’s soon to start talking about it, but I wanted to let you know that we’re already on top of it, especially for the player who acquired the Premium Edition of EUV.

Bro who started this thing of using "observer mode player" as an insult, is it from the chinese community or something? I keep seeing it on the forum and it cracks me up every time
