Mouse over the morale of the enemy units on the battle screen when you're engaged.

Attackers also get a .5 morale boost on battle start, so that may also help explain it.

One of the early Defensive ideas gives a big boost to morale.  That's probably it.

Lots of country ideas get +10% or +20% morale

The only two that get 20% is Prussia and France. There's something like 50 nations with ideas giving 10% morale though.

So if I wanted to convert a CK2 game, what helps determine your national ideas and such? Relatedly, what would be a good/OP conversion? I.E. any particular scenarios that result in abnormally good ideas?

I don't know the best ones, but, in short, certain nations have certain ideas, while others simply have the generic and not that good ideas.

Divine ideas are generic but aren't actually very terrible IIRC

I forgot republics and theocracies get specific ideas. I was thinking of the "national ideas" set.

[Orange Wizard]

Oh yeah, those are garbage.

[Bouchart]

Naples, Ayutthaya, Georgia, Hausa ideas are awful.

As far as lesser-known idea groups go, the Italian idea group is powerful, along with Karaman, Kazan, and Manchu.

Take a look at Smolensk.  They have a weird, artillery focused idea set.

Finished the development with ducats mod. Here's a link.

Still haven't run it past 1500, but I'm happy with how it works. OPMs typically improved 0-2 times in that time, while the rich nations in Europe had about as much as they would with MP (with the condition that they actually have money, so nations that lose wars and go into debt didn't raise development, which is great). Still a few nations like Mutapa that may need some restrictions, but on the whole it turned out well, I'd say. Performance at speed 5/4 was a bit choppy for around 20 years, but it stabilized to barely below what I'd normally get. Not bad, considering every nation getting an event that checks all their provinces every 30-90 days.

So er, does that mean your ideas on conversion are based on what your primary title was?
So if you for example did a world conquer as Smolensk would you still get their idea set?

This seems like the kind of thing that requires !SCIENCE!, but no one else seems to care, and I've yet to get far enough in a CK2 game to consider conversion. (I have a weird thing where I just can't imagine starting in EU, or even starting in anything other then the earliest date available.)

[Bouchart]

Haven't a clue.  I don't own the converter.

[WealthyRadish]

I wouldn't have thought of putting it on the steam workshop. Not sure if it works, but I added it.

[RoguelikeRazuka]

Is there a mod for EU4 or CK2 that allows you to play as a state from the ancient world -- Rome, Carthage etc?

[Orange Wizard]

Roma Universalis, Extended Timeline

Both are pretty good. Roma goes further back in time to something around 300BC, basically early Republic days, but Extended Timeline goes to modern-day stuff as well.
