EU4: 1.36.2 Patch is now LIVE! Checksum [e93d] - Not For Problem Reports!

[vvvasi]

Hello everyone! Here is the changelog for version 1.36.2 - our final update of 2023, with 84 fixes in total.

Between Domination and King of Kings, it's been a big year, and neither of these releases would have been quite as successful if not for the support and feedback of our community.

You may also have noticed the updates to our bug report forum, with improvements not just to the reporting experience but also our internal processes. This should translate to faster and more effective bug fixing in the future.

Stock disclaimer time: As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. And be mindful that while these changes shouldn't affect 1.36.1 save games too profoundly, this is something we're not able to fully guarantee.

See you in 2024!

Old 1.36 changelogs:
1.36
1.36.1

 

[wkscrombie]

No update to Eranshahr's ideas? I'm disappointed, they're never worth switching to from Persia's :/

 

[Rule Britannia]

I had hoped that you would address the issue where starting and winning a new parliamentary debate using a mission would override the existing bonus you had from a parliamentary issue that you had active. This did not happen prior to the latest dlc. If this is an intended change, then I would suggest giving us an early government reform that allows two concurrent issues on separate timers.

 

[DimitrisBouklas]

You should make Byzantium and a few more tags gold tier tech, calling it eastern roman tech group. They were always advanced for their time in several ways and it won't affect the game in a major way, since they always fall unless a player controls them.

Old 1.36 changelogs:
1.36
1.36.1

Some localisation - text errors. Also mispelling.

 

[Alyssea]

The decision to form Rûm will now rename you to the Seljuk Empire if you do it as AQ or QQ. Atop of this, you will now keep your AQ / QQ missions when you have formed into the Seljuk Empire.

Love that we apparently now have dynastic tags that will start without the dynasty the tag is named after.

 

[GuaBaiChi]

- Simplified the mission rewards of the EoC mission "Examination System".

The rewards are straight nerfed and removed. Why? Please change it back!

Revert the nerf to EoC Mission 'Examination System' back to before 1.36.2!

- Simplified the mission rewards of the EoC mission "Examination System". - The EoC mission "Examination System" now highlights Xi'An. This is not an accurate representation of the change at all. The Mission Rewards are no longer as dynamic...

# Decisions
- Restoring the Byzantine Empire will now make you into a monarchy and grant you the Byzantine Autocracy government reform.

Ugh. Nobody likes it when tag switching changes your government type. Giving you Byzantine Autocracy *if* you’re a monarchy makes sense.

But why make things less fun for those that want to be a republican Byzantium? And its not like its that unusual: Venice -> Byzantium is a very natural playthrough.

 

[ClubComedy3]

So forming Rum as Aq/Qara Qoyunlu, means you switch tags to Seljuk Empire but you don't get any of the Rum mission tree, and instead keep the AQ/QQ mission tree.

My personal opinion, if you play as Rum, you're expanding into Egypt and the Balkans, so West. If you're playing Persia you're pushing East into India

Aq/Qara Qoyunlu missions are great and all, but by the time you form Rum or Persia, you've completed most of them.
Plus, Aq/Qara Qoyunlu mission tree encourages you to form Persia and in fact, one of the last missions "Shahanshahs of Eranshahr" is supposed to assimilate Turkish into Turco-Iranian allowing you to form Persia. The problem is and please do correct me if I'm wrong, Rum is an end game tag, you cannot form Persia as Rum.

If you form Rum/Seljuk Empire as Aq/Qara Qoyunlu, you're losing out on both the Persia and Rum missions, and then you can't even switch to another tag for a better mission tree.

 

[LordIxion]

Any updates on the Orthodox zealot spam that was plaguing Byzantium in the Grand LAN? Makes no sense to continually have such uprisings, let alone atrociously high numbers and frequency, if your entire nation is Catholic.

 

[Loucifer711]

The naval doctrine "Tactica" is now available to countries of the Roman primary culture too

This is great fix for a Biz run. It would also be great if the Roman Empire government reform did not necessarily include a Parliament. As it is now it's like congratulations for conquering untold provinces now kiss your Absolutism goodbye!

 

[Azieloki]

Super stoked about the Parsi event change. Going to give my Parsi/Zoro one faith/one culture run another go. I've tried several times since the KoK came out and have been having an awful time trying to hit the Parsi advisor spawn. The only time I pulled one was in a Songhai run lol.

 

[Metz]

The trade idea group has inconsistent capitalization in ones of its bonuses. The one that gives a bonus to trade companies.

 

[RELee]

Thanks ever so much, vvvasi

 

[Undead Martyr]

Ugh. Nobody likes it when tag switching changes your government type. Giving you Byzantine Autocracy *if* you’re a monarchy makes sense.

But why make things less fun for those that want to be a republican Byzantium? And its not like its that unusual: Venice -> Byzantium is a very natural playthrough.

Clearly we need an updated Venetian mission tree that branches into a potential Byzantine restoration.
In 1204 there was some talk of moving the capital to Constantinople after all.

 

[Nunatak]

Seems like the Influence idea Marcher Lords (+100%Vassal force limit contribution) still affects the amount of force limit Pronoiars take away (you lose more force limit with this idea). Unless this effect is intended?

 

[Masyanya028]

The rewards are straight nerfed and removed. Why? Please change it back!

uhh I so tired of this random rebalancing between bugfix patches. So we began with Siam and 2 disasters, now this, like for what reason? Btw, rip another -10% dev. cost reduction for Ming and other Chinese Empires.

 

[Dakka]

- Crusader missions will now require the tag to be independent or a subject of another Catholic nation.

Wait so does this mean if I make the Knights a March and then feed them Jerusalem they will form it?

 

[Metz]

As Holland you can get Indiamen ships fairly early by switching government types via the government reform mechanic. Was this as intended? It gives the Dutch a boom early on, at least for players.

 

[grotaclas]

Wait so does this mean if I make the Knights a March and then feed them Jerusalem they will form it?

No, because there is no mission which makes them form Jerusalem. The only way to form it is to enact the decision, but the AI will never do that.
