In the long run, this can make a massive difference, because if you convert from a Monarchy to a Republic, you will be hated by almost everyone besides Genoa and Venice. The money lost far outweighs the happiness gained for the first few turns into your new government. Also, you can destroy the building in the entertainment square of Paris. Both of these buildings and their upgrades are extremely cheap compared to the economic and educational buildings. These buildings produce happiness and must be destroyed prior to said revolution.

In Lyons and Lille, you have a Seminary and Coaching House (or upgrades) respectively. How much does it cost to rebuild the buildings you destroyed? By ceasing taxes in those regions, however, you lose the majority of that money, even though the increased taxes in France do help slightly. Well, depending on the size of your territory in your capital region's theatre, it is important to take into account just how much money you lose when instigating a revolution.įor instance, if you are playing as France and you control all of Iberia, Italy, Germany, and Great Britain, you are making a healthy bit of cash from taxing those territories, correct? Let's say 15,000 gold per turn from European taxes alone. In many cases, destroying buildings that produce happiness in the region is often the best thing to do before highering taxes.

You can also go bankrupt or lose many battles, however this is an ill-advised course of action. You can bring in ministers with negative public order traits towards the social class you want to anger (Upper classes form Absolute and Constitutional Monarchies after a successful revolution, while the lower orders form Constitutional Monarchies or Republics).
