Sadly, no. The focus for this patch ended up being elsewhere. I'm hoping to go through it properly and make sure it works with the colonial nation for a future patch.
The mechanics are changed: when a Republic's RT falls too low, it transforms into a Dictatorship which is now a republic where one rules for life. If RT gets reduced further (via events and such), it transforms into a Monarchy.
Considering we still have bugs and problems with previous DLC (American Dream) but pushing out new content takes priority apparently, expect things that need fixing to not be.
Of course it takes priority: patches don't generate revenue. And you do need money to make patches.
In other words, if you don't generate revenue, you need to reduce the resources spent on patching and testing and later end the game support for good.
I think the issue is that, after reading the announcement, I still have no real sense of what this DLC will cover. Looks like a couple of features for the least widespread government forms... but what else is there?
I love how it will give the Dutch Republic a more accurate government. It was quite a complicated country politics wise so I wonder how they will do it.
From the looks of it it will also feature the Dutch-Anglo wars as events. Good stuff.
Hi Paradox,
Is it possible to add chartered area in Caribbean Islands in order to setup West India Company since in history, they were founded by European countries? And also is it possible to make trade companies being capable of hiring mercenaries/pirates?
Best,
G.
This sounds like feature creep DLC. Like these were stretch goals for the last expansion that were not reached. Not like I'm complaining mind you. If anything its better that it got its own DLC if that's what happened.
This summer? I don't know about Sweden but summer has definitely already started here. Maybe you would like to take some more time on this and put it out for Q4? No need to rush, we're unlikely to go anywhere.
What? The DLC policy is what started the whole "Free Features" policy in the first place. The pre-CK2 era never had any major features given for free.
With that said, it was not even told that all these features are to be payed. The new idea groups may likely end up being free due to their nature.
Nothing major would've been included for free a few years ago. Balancing, yes; some easy minor features, maybe; and bug squishing, yes. But they've changed the business model around rather substantially, and, for better or for worse, it's driven by new content and new features.
I don't really mind being nicked and dimed, per se. But I seriously object to having so many "WTF, this can't be WAD" moments after being nickeled and dimed.
