Anniversary Maintenance Patch - 2.0.4 (Open Beta)

[MohawkWolfo98]

Thanks everyone for your bug reports! I am doing my best to get through it, and I will likely make another patch on friday with some more updates.

Johan fixed an issue with civil wars being very small and I fixed an issue with nations not getting their pantheon.

Some stuff is just difficult to fix, because of the passage of time (hard to figure out why it's broken or what the goal was of a piece of code). Keep reports incoming though, I do go through them, but with the upcoming Galactic Paragon release, I might be busy with supporting the team with that instead.

Thanks sm for supporting Imperator with ur very limited time! It’s really greatly appreciated that my favourite game is still at the very least being fixed, even if it’s just a small patch.

I runned again into the (confirmed) issue with getting no battle report pop-up after sea battles with Pirates.

I did a new thread to avoid thread necromancy:

Description of problem No battle result pop-up after sea battle with pirates [2.04] What game version are you running? 2.04 (beta / early version of it) What platform are you playing on? Steam Please select any/all DLC you have enabled...

Very pleased to see this game getting some attention again!

Is there a Hotfix coming for the bugs generated with this I:R beta update?

Or is there another Beta Update that will add to the Mod-related changes plus hotfix what was broken with the first Beta patch?

All beta patches are a work in progress.

If there are new bugs with this patch, please let me know about them (make a bug report and link it here if you can). As SAS mentioned, they are a work in progress

Should be fixed now

 

[PDX_Gorion]

I pushed out a new update with the following changes. Please do give feedback, and if you notice something is broken (new or old) make a bug report and link it if able!

At this point I fixed everything from my list that I wanted to fix, but I will take a look through the entire thread again if this is something else missing & easy to do.

I will let this stew for a weeks, and see what people encounter, and if it seems good, I will set this live as the default (with some additional fixes in script that are still missing)

#######################
# Bugfixes
######################

# Notes
- This patch should be save compatible, however not all fixes might be applied to your current save.

# Game Mechanic
- Civil Wars will no longer just pick 1 character, but instead take far more disloyal characters. (Thanks Johan!)
- Fixed bug where released nations during a peace deal would have no proper pantheon
- Fixed bug where you would never see battle results from battles against pirates, barbarians or rebels
- Diplomatic range is now calculated between border territories. This should make it easier to hire mercenaries as a large empire. Default diplo range has been tweaked based on this change.

# Other
- Achievements now only require that the game is in ironman mode and you achieve them within the timelimit (ingame years)
Note: This means that mods that are affecting the checksums, no longer will prohibit you from getting the achievements, neither does multiplayer.

Seeing your fix for that civil war issue reminded me of another bug that we've experienced that I haven't seen reported yet. Any country created with the create_country effect (also civil wars and revolts I think) do not have any military traditions at all when they are created. This isn't an issue early in the game but later in the game the difference in military quality this causes hinders newly created countries so much that they can almost never compete even with 10's of thousands of more troops because the existing nations have hundreds of years of military bonuses the new nations don't have yet. Ideally newly created countries get automatically assigned the same amount of military traditions as the country they were created from.
We made a workaround for Invictus that adds military experience to new countries based on the date but it doesn't really work because AI takes too long to decide what traditions to pick and by the time they take them their armies are usually completely wiped out, so a backend fix would be great for us.

TLDR: New countries get no military traditions.

I dunno if it is good to request things to fix, but can you enable triggers for units? When 2.0 was released I tried to create a unit for my mod that would be available only for specfic tag with specific resource requirement and yet in Legion window anyone could hire this unit into their Legion, and without rquiring resources.
I dont ask for complete rebalance of vanilla units with specfic triggers, I'm simply asking for triggers for units to work.

oof, this does not surprise me. If you know of any other bugs, let me know!

I remember a modder asking for the same thing. This is just for legions right?

This is a request, not a bug, so maybe I am overstretching here.

Units have scripted modifiers for terrain, discipline, morale, etc.. but there are no modifiers for the versus against other units.

If that would be in the script to mod units, we could have more variety of gameplay: greek HI will be better against Cavalry than Roman HI for example.

Sorry, won't be doing that, it's outside of the scope for this patch. Performance would also be significantly impacted

 

[Telenil]

(with some additional fixes in script that are still missing)

Are these included in the patch notes? If not, can we know what they are, so we don't do a bug report for something already fixed?

 

[IsaacCAT]

Thank you anyway for looking at it. We can only dream of players coming back to the game thanks in part to your effort.

Thank you so much for using ur free time to do this for us, it’s really greatly appreciated.

 

[Fede92]

More welcome than the arrival of the Numidian cavalry during the Battle of Zama.
Will the Great Destroyer achievement be fixed? It is the only one that I have not unlocked. I see that it has bene mentioned before, but I wasn't able to figure out whether the issue will be tackled with. Anyway, thank you for your time and effort

I'm not aware how units are picked for levies and I don't know if they would use other units if, let's say, Archers and Light Infantry are locked behind a tech (if the triggers would work) and they would use more weaker couterparts that have no tech requirment that I modded in. But yeah, I personally noticed only Legion part.

 

[Aerozona]

I'm not sure if this is necessarily considered a bug within scope of the patch, but when viewing the timeline (replay) of the game after forming a different nation, the timeline only shows the formed nation, not the initial nation that you started with. So, for example if I form the Hellenic league as a Cretan nation, the timeline will show Hellenic league from the very beginning as a one province minor, rather than the initial nation I started with.

This one is kind of odd and was noticed by someone in our MP community - we have a custom window for buying / selling provinces to make it easier than the standard option to sell one province at a time. As of 2.0.4 it suddenly stopped working. There's no clear indication in the error logs as to why this stopped working.

Maybe this?

[21:58:29][console.cpp:956]: You can't add new commands while the console is still running commands.

The GUI script is this:

margin_widget = {
    size = { 0 28 }
    layoutpolicy_horizontal = expanding
    margin = { 14 0 }
    margin_right = 7
    text_button_square = {
        size = { 100% 28 }
        layoutpolicy_horizontal = expanding
        datacontext = "[GetScriptedGui('sell_provinces')]"
        enabled = "[ScriptedGui.IsValid(GuiScope.SetRoot( Player.MakeScope ).AddScope('target', DiplomaticView.GetTargetCountry.MakeScope ).End)]"
        visible = "[Not(DiplomaticView.GetTargetCountry.IsBarbarian)]"
        blockoverride "On_click" {
            onclick = "[ScriptedGui.Execute(GuiScope.SetRoot( Player.MakeScope ).AddScope('target', DiplomaticView.GetTargetCountry.MakeScope ).End)]"
            onclick = "[ExecuteConsoleCommand('gui.ClearWidgets sell_provinces_window')]"
            onclick = "[ExecuteConsoleCommand('gui.createwidget gui/sell_provinces.gui sell_provinces_window')]"
        }
        blockoverride "Center_text"
        {
            text = "sell_province"
        }
    }
}

Any thoughts?
