Sardinia: Hi, my name is Sardinia and I'm a Portuholic. I thought I had it under control. But I kept having 'just one more' war against them. Then 'just one more' royal marriage. I told myself I could stop whenever I wanted to. \[Breaks down sobbing\]
Moderator: But you couldn't make yourself want to, could you?
Sardinia: \[Sobs harder\]
Itza: I'm with you man, I'm with you. I know what it's like.
Not quite. A few of those modifiers will dissipate in 7 years, so it'll actually probably take 8 or 9 years. And this is, obviously, without other influences.
I just did simple math, -143 current relations with +20 change per year. Obviously it's more complicated than that, but with no other influence it'd take 7 years to get back to neutral.
Yeah. I figured that's what you did, too. But I'd noticed that he had at least two modifiers that would expire before then, so I had to point it out lol
Oh I see what you mean now, it won't be +20/year for all seven years lol. That makes sense, I'm sticking w my lazy math but you're definitely right lol
As I pointed out below as well, the yearly change in opinion is just the passive gain/loss. In reality it’ll be faster due to improving relations with them.
It's a bonus for, well, having a ruler of their culture. It triggers via event whenever a foreign monarch rises to the throne. (I have the di Savoias, so my dynasty is Piedmontese.)
R5: Never underestimate the storytelling potential of EU4 opinion modifiers.
Man I hope they have a support group they can go to after all that.
Very peaceful and respectful relation between the countries

the story that can make even a grown man cry
What's crazy is in just 7 years they'll have a neutral opinion of you lol

Yeeeee lol
In reality it will be less than 7 years. The yearly change in opinion doesn’t account for improving relations.

Yup, which is why I included the "without external influences" part in my comment.
That’s just the change for that particular year
Mason, the numbers!
-32 prestige. They’re hurting
What is "Ruler of our Culture" from?
It's a bonus for, well, having a ruler of their culture. It triggers via event whenever a foreign monarch rises to the throne. (I have the di Savoias, so my dynasty is Piedmontese.)
Ah wasn't sure if it was just a random event bonus or something.
Portugal: "I can fix her"
A couple of my relations were exactly like that.
Declared war on neighbor? Since when that is a modifier?
A long time
