Overview

Decisions are another new feature in Europa Universalis III: In Nomine. Like missions they are powerful tools which help you shape your country; unlike missions, you can have more than one selectable decision at the same time. Most decisions have major benefits to your country, often making stability cheaper, increasing tax income, or giving free slider moves.

Types

There are three types of decisions, Provincial, Religious, and National. National decisions affect your entire country, religious decisions affect the practice of religion in your country (mainly affecting stability costs and conversions), while provincial decisions affect individual provinces. Many countries will have unique decisions; England/Great Britain, for example, gets a number of naval-related decisions such as "Sing 'Britannia Rules the Waves'", while the Spanish can establish the Spanish Inquisition. One MAJOR CHANGE from pre-IN versions of EUIII is that ALL westernisation and unification events are now decisions! You no longer have to wait 50 years or more to unify Germany when you have all the necessary triggers--instead, you need merely select the decision.

Location

National decisions are listed on a new Decisions tab in the coat-of-arms pop-down box (on the far right). Religious decisions are listed on the religion tab, while provincial decisions are listed in the provincial information screen, under the button with a scroll and hammer.
