This has been brought up a few times, but not being able to make them core is more realistic (they don't want to work as hard for their oppressors) and balances wars between empires and small countries.

I think the mid to late game could profit from having a coring part added in after a certain day point, You can start coring provinces to make them count more like your starting provinces in which will help with your production. Could help mid to late game to help boost production of goods if you have a bad starting nation for certain production types.

i think the idea of transforming non-core to core that bytro added in NWE is really great and it could be an option for the non-core provinces in CoW
odin but even then when rome took over country then adopted there way of life or changed them to there own every country has done this in some form so it would be more realistic to put in since you have revolting mechanics already.
I say that it should be implemented, but it would only put it up to a 50% or 75% bonus. As time passes, that could slowly increase as the citizens adopt the other country's way of life.
i agree with you keshcet kind of like eu4 but slower in that aspect
Another idea is to just have it increase slowly overtime automatically without having to do anything to core it.
The problem is most assimilation's took decades if not centuries, which are beyond he time frame scope of this game. This leaves in game responses of taking capitals, garrisoning provinces and building fortresses to improve morale. There are also a host of threads discussing ways to introduce new game mechanics and or units to improve the production penalty.
Also note that the reduction with non-core allows people that have other things going on in their lives to enjoy this great game. If non-core were to become core, folks online constantly would have a decided advantage over others that can't be online as often.
This might be an interesting compromise that would not radically change game play, but still address some of the request from the community. How about semi-core? If:
B) the production penalty would reduce from 75% to 50%
This would limit the # of provinces that could be affected and not penalize less active players due to the 30 day requirement. It would also reflect the real world reality that regions will only assimilate slowly over time and even when assimilated still hold a certain level of resentment toward the country that has taken them over.
Not a bad suggestion. The fixed 100% vs 25% resource production is not realistic, but obviously any game must incorporate a large measure of simplification and abstraction in order to make it playable and manageable for the average gamer. That said, it would be more realistic and make the game much friendlier for new players in terms of resource production, and food in particular. And speaking from the perspective of an experienced player who is a fanatical developer of resource-producing provinces, and knows how to do it properly, the morale situation of captured provinces on the opposite side of the 50 and 100-player maps from your capital can be extremely challenging to manage. Not only should we consider some modification of 100% vs. 25% resource production dynamic, we should also consider some modification of the dynamic whereby captured provinces on the opposite side of the big maps are permanently stuck at or below the morale level at which rebellions occur. The distance-morale dynamic should be challenging, but never impossible to manage.Peter Mat wrote:

Already been mentioned several times, I still think it's a great idea. The slow assimilation sounds awesome. And take for example Germany, who annexed the Sudetenland, Austria, and Memel, all of which were highly in favor of uniting. But unless Bytro can keep up or exceed the income that it would lose on the gold bought resources, ( maybe make a good option in creation) it's not going to happen.kingjames244 wrote:
