I love my steam controller , but if you already have lots of time with a 360 controller you might have a hard time switching . It was easy to get used to my steam controller because I had never really developed the muscle memory of a different controller , but all my friends ended up giving up on the steam controller for the familiarity of a different one . <| sep |> Will you ever since The Godfather ? <| sep |> Funny part is I kinda slacked off on having total control on Malacca . I ' m still ironing out my method on my Ternate game . So on my next run I ' m going to prioritizing them a bit earlier . One of the reasons why I could afford all the colonists was from brute forcing institutions by prioritizing adm and dip points in EastWest Timor . Those areas are grassland terrain so they don ' t have too much development penalties comparatively in the area . I give the burghers the land too to get that additional discount to developing that zone so I save my monarch points . So once those areas get the institutions , those provinces are netting me tons of tax and production money especially if that region has spices 26 % chance to spawn when colonizing iirc . This is great because Ternate ' s traditions are 10 % production bonus and efficiency . Coupled with the local Burgher bonus you ' ll produce even more . An added bonus is increased influence of that estate so you can spam the colonist bonus , demand dip support , and if necessary demand money . They won ' t care because their loyalty will probably be in the upper 90 %.
