EDIT: Looks like tooltips are inaccurate, only your county capital applies the bonus, so set your capital to one of the farm castle holdings that you build. Praha has six barony slots and three of them are farmland providing a wopping 50% total bonus to increasing development (-10% for one hills barony). Really the only thing it's missing is one of those OP special buildings. Praha is close to being a perfect county. Because their layout isn't perfect, because they have too many and because. Most cultures have many many provinces and most provinces around 867 are below 10 in development (including all of Bohemia's) but unlike Bohemia's, most other provinces wont trend up at the rate yours will. The main factor in improving in tech is the average development in a culture's provinces. Development is helpful in making a province produce more in both troops and income, but also. So, if you're focusing on Praha, every other one of your provinces (that is every other Czech culture province in the game), is also going to be experiencing benefit from it. The way that development works is that high development counties radiate out into adjacent counties, causing their development to also improve. The layout of the provinces are that so your default capital, Praha, touches every one of your other counties. All are of the Czech culture and they're the only Czech provinces in the game, at this time. But why Bohemia?īohemia, in 867, is a single duchy of 8 counties. So, you've decided you're tired of blobbing out and wanna try 'playing tall.' May I suggest to you: Bohemia.
