Suggestions/Questions about humiliation, war reparations, obligations, bankroll,

Hi,

First sorry for typos. Am writing this with a broken arm. Not nice! Especially since am not good at being concise!

TLDR:diplo penalties (like humiliation or war reparations) only last five years—same as a truce—and it feels too short. I suggest increasing the duration for humiliation and making war reparations larger or negotiable because they historically could be much higher. what do you think? is it moddable?

First I wanna make sure I'm not thinking about this from the wrong starting point. In vanilla 1.8, am I correct to assume that
- Obligations are 10y
- War reps are 5y
- Truces are 5y
- Bankroll as a war goal is minimum of 5years but AI sometimes extends it
- Humiliations are 5y

If that is correct, do you agree that the length and scale of some of these should be changed? The main issue imo is that all non-conquest diplo moves are exactly the length of a truce.

In a recent French run, Russia had managed to wholly annex Persia and I was soon going to be in need of oil, so I declared on Russia seeking the liberation of Ukraine, Poland and Persia. I won.

But then there was a 5y-truce with both russia and all those liberated countries. I understand the purpose for the truce, but it introduces a weird and arguably unhistorical phenomena whereby when I won a decisive war against Russia but was forced to wait five years -- long enough for Russia to be able to oppose me in a diplo play again -- to go against Persia. Surprisingly the Russians didn't show up but they could have.

So should we not increase the threshold duration for humiliation, maybe by a couple years over the truce deadline, to make it more meaningful? For example ensuring a beaten great power won't be able to go against me if I move soon enough against a former subject of theirs.

Likewise for war reparatations: are they not way too low? 10% of national revenue for 5 years is roughly 2-3% of GDP per year if we assume gov receipts between 20 and 30pcent of GDP. That's a total of 10-15% of one year's GDP as war reparations.

Historically war reps could be much higher. Take Prussia-France in 1870-71. The indemnity paid by France was between 25% and 35% of its prewar GDP. That stings more!

Likewise should we not be able to negotiate smaller or bigger bankrolls and/or durations?

Thanks for those who read until here!
