Earlier Proposal
Current Austria UA:
+50% rewards from City-State quests. May arrange Marriages with allied City-States using gold (not explicitly noted, cost: 500 gold, +100 per previous marriage). While at peace with the City-State, Marriages increase resting influence by 200, boost Great People generation in the capital by 15%, and grant 1 Extra World Congress Delegate.
Proposal:
+50% rewards from City-State quests. May arrange Marriages with allied City-States using gold (not explicitly noted, cost: [200 gold, +50 per previous marriage] scaling with era). While at peace with the City-State, Marriages increase resting influence by 200, boost Great People generation in the capital by 15%, and grant 1 Extra World Congress Delegate for Austrian embassies in the City-State.
Rationale:
Austria needs a nerf. Marriages are unnecessarily expensive in the early game, and far too cheap in the late game. By having the cost scale with era, we can resolve both the issues.
1 delegate per embassy (as suggested by u/Solic) will a) reduce the amount of votes Austria gets, b) force the player to decide between using their Great Diplomats to ally another City-State or get more votes, c) allow opponents to counter by creating their embassies first.
