Military ideas are not horrible, but it's easier to just get bigger army by expansion and trade.Naval and Maritime are so shitty that they're worthless even for ocean-oriented empire.Economic - I wasn't totally sure about this one, I just don't particularly care for any other 10th idea.Religious - we were Defender of the Faith before it was cool, and perhaps it's time to go back to that.

Expansion - we're the very definition of it.Humanist - to deal with nationalist nonsense in the colonies.Influence - we need to manage our vassals.Diplomatic - global empire runs on diplomacy.Aristocratic - is there even a question?.Early Diplomatic - most countries have 2/3 here but Early Military and Early Administrative suck, so I'll just pick this one.Mod gives 10 and has some extra 'early X' idea groups to choose from. You can cancel them, but you don't get your points back (well, you get 10%, but that's just silly), and it's a lot of manual effort to fix things by console, so I'm just going to edit mod files to set 'historical ideas' I want. It's a problem with every start date except date zero (which for Extended Timeline mod is awkwardly Rome-Parthia War) that everyone starts with predetermined idea groups. as usual, if I end up totally dominating the world without actually fulfilling some conditions, I'll call it a win anywayīut first, some pre-game modding.For that matter why not go back to our Catholic roots (Anglican Church sits undecidedly halfway between Catholic and Protestant tradition anyway), as there are zero other Catholic countries, so it's free curia for whoever wants it. stop this Secular nonsense and go back to our Christian roots at some point.get some kind of vassal European Union, even if not necessarily in current borders.100% of provinces producing tea, obviously.100% control over all 4 trade end nodes is highly desirable - English Channel, Bordeaux, and Seville definitely, Venice depending on how things go.take revenge for all other historical injustice, no matter how late.win Hundred Years War, even if a couple centuries late.recreate colonial empire including all the countries (controlled directly or as vassals) British Empire should have including Ireland, India, Australia, South Africa, Canada, Thirteen Colonies etc.remain some kind of monarchy - I see no reason to abandon Constitutional Monarchy, but I'm not totally sure what government types Extended Timeline mod has.

Also I promised India game before, and what kind of British Empire would it be if it didn't include India? I've played so many Rome reborn and Caliphate reborn games, I'm surprised I haven't tried to recreate the greatest empire of all times yet.
