It's good, because you only get it from successfully spiting your rivals. I guess Muscovy was your rival, so when you took a bunch of provinces off them you gained a lot of power projection too. Also if you're over 50 you gain +1 extra of each Monarch Power monthly, helping you do stuff like get technology and develop your provinces. It's small but it adds up.

Some concerning numbers there. I hope my allliance with the Timurids is still holdings strong (it should do, we have a nice buffer state in between us). It seems that being really late to the renaissance has screwed me over - my rulers have been good but we have wasted too many monarch points on expensive techs etc. Later my national ideas will help me compete, but I might be too far behind by then anyway 
@nimic have I unlocked my third idea group yet?

Thanks, one last look before it’s all gone.
Great, thanks.

Nope, you've still got 1 left of Administrative ideas, and yet to diplo tech 10.
That's a lot.
Skanderbeg tracks the average attribute distribution of a monarchs over time. Would be interesting to see which players are, well... Organic Potatoes and which have been really unlucky.
As a game which would you say is better this or CKIII?
What? Did I bang one of the eboue clan?
Hopefully it will at least help me demolish Alto.
Ayrshire being the most developed province on the planet by miles 
That's a lot.

Organic Potatoes is top, because his 5/5/5 starting monarch ruled for 54 years, and his 5/6/5 replacement has ruled for 34 so far. Dan has had 5/5/5, 4/3/4, 4/5/5 and now 6/6/3. SilentWitness has had the 5/5/5 and now a 5/4/4.
Conversely (and perversely), Welsh Wonder's 5/5/5 starting monarch died after 3 years, and has been succeeded by 3/3/3, then 3/3/2, then 3/0/4, then 0/4/3, a 3/4/4 for three years and now a 3/1/4. No absolute stinkers, but just a long series of not good.
What rip off. My first ruler was a scholar and all his descendants have been imbeciles.
Evertonia is developed as feck.
Don't worry. Soon i am joining you. I am not in any list. Poor undeveloped country with small army. My ruler must ne some drunk dude.
If only we made an alliance, eh?
Look how prestigious I am
@nimic . I am not in any list. Wtf is going on in Austria? My ruler spending all money on whores and coke?
You did conquer quite a few parts of Denis79 and Hungary, so that's cool.
That's what he said, whores and coke.
Is there tech leakage like CK2 - i.e will me being close to the Ayrshire (aka Athens of the North) be beneficial to my territories?
Not related to particular provinces, but yes if you have neighbours who are ahead of you technologically, your tech will be cheaper. You might benefit from Ayrshire if it's much quicker to get an Institution (we should get Colonialism soon, for example), as development plays a part in that. And institutions usually spread quicker if neighbouring provinces already have it.
Seems like I've got loads of ideas and a decent amount of money, but I'm doing piss all with it. Hopefully I'm just a defensive powerhouse and we'll be batting away swathes of these leaches later.
Some day I'll get my revenge
I dont understand did I win or did he
That depends on how much you like the Dutch
If Rio was colonised by the Irish, what would its name be?
River?
I'll PM you
Please don't, I can't survive 30 years in jail.
are they the ones with the wooden shoes?
I'm not sure they have any shoes at all after the defeat you handed them.
@nimic still struggling with the importance of prestige. I've dropped from 99 to 42. Has something gone very wrong in my empire, or nothing to be concerned about?
It comes mostly from winning battles and winning wars. Bigger prestige gets you some benefits.
When you are at peace and doing nothing, prestige slightly goes down every month.
In a big and long war you can build prestige on 100. I guess you did that and then your ruler decided to chill and go whoring with my ruler
Yeah basically what Andy said. 42 isn't bad, you're not going to stay at 99 at this stage of the game unless you're crushing everything. It trends towards 0 by default.
What’s the end game? A specific year? Or when the whole world is a veeva eutopia?
1821
Why haven't we taken crackers yet, Solius and RS? What's the holdup?
Im the most elusive monarchy to ever live
Dan has survived at least three wars where he only had one province - and lost. He's magical.
