Standardized a number of words towards American English.
Isn't that considered treachery for you to do that as a Brit? I guess you're hoping nobody is reporting you to Commander May.:p

Anyway I don't like that change; why must everything be American when English is the original and is more sophisticated?

What is banners???
The special units that Manchu (and others?) can raise and which are a bit better than normal ones. IIRC they're solely cavalry.

RIP stacking absolutism for silly amounts of admin efficiency.

i do find it somewhat sad that it can bepretty tough to get back to that 60% admin efficiency now without triggering the disaster or being france/sweden/prussia, let alone if you're a republic or in shitty religious area's, but i guess that's how it is :p
I might be missing something, but wouldn't you still be able to get more than 60% admin efficiency?

City on the Hill. That's American!
What are you referring to?



Can anybody remember what goods Constantinople and Cairo used to produce? I.e. is them making cloth a buff or a nerf? (Seems to remember Cairo being grain, but not sure.)

Looks like I have to give England a shot - after Muscovy ;)

Haven't played them for ages and found their NIs always to be somewhat lacking, but +20% goods produced and +20 settler growth changes a whole lot here.

All Paradox games use American English. And it's silly to describe either British or American English as "original"; they both share a common descent from English as spoken in the 1600-1700s. Each retains archaic features that the other doesn't (indeed, American English in many respects is closer to 1600s English than modern British English).

Besides, we should all just be thankful that the Scottish influence on Paradox didn't lead them to write everything in Scots:

"O Willie brew'd a peck o' maut,
And Rob and Allen cam to see;
Three blyther hearts, that lee-lang night,
Ye wadna found in Christendie."

Good Corruption events now require being at 3 stability.

Does "good corruption events" refer to getting good events while having high corruption or just events related to when you have zero corruption?

Also still no ideas for Ethiopian minors? They are now probably one of the last nations to get their own unique ideas, which is a shame cause that region is super fun to play in. Well, at least Estonia finally got theirs.

Does this mean that we can now break Ming by blockading them for a decade?

Is the devastation caused by blockades sufficient to make Ming lose the mandate of heaven?

About what time is the release? Time pretty close to being just as important as the date in my opinion. Morning, lunch, afternoon, evening or night does fine as an answer for me, so I can plan my days.

Tomorrow they will stream a Third Rome Realese... So I guess it will be available sometime between 14:30 - 15:15 CEST

Thanks, Brexit. :mad:

What I don't get is why Bill of Rights was replaced with the very American City Upon a Hill. England was pretty late to the colonization game and its early colonies were small - now, granted, it would eventually greatly surpass Spain in number of people immigrating to the colonies, but that was well after they were established.

Our English is closer to Old English than your English anyhow. :p

Can anybody remember what goods Constantinople and Cairo used to produce? I.e. is them making cloth a buff or a nerf? (Seems to remember Cairo being grain, but not sure.)

C'nople used to produce Grain as well.

This is the theme song for Third Rome: (I posted this previously but this version has English subtitles):


So all the players out there going for the new Russian-focused achievements like Dovmont's Own and Relentless Push East, know that the members of Dschinghis Khan are with you in spirit cheering you on.

You can now spend 5 patriarch authority to commision a new set of icons to all churches
It's actually 10 pa required for icon in press versions which streamers now play on Youtube.

> Can no longer combine Transfer Vassal with Cancel Vassal in a peace deal on the same vassal.
Also not fixed in press version. Hopefully will be fixed at release.

- Good Corruption events now require being at 3 stability.

- Trust thy neighbor no longer gives +1 stability but instead lowered state maintenance for 10 years.
BOOOOOOOOO
- Hungarian Black Army modifiers improved significantly and no longer increase mercenary maintenance.
Hurray! The modifier is actually cool instead of a noobie trap! Can't wait to finally use them :D
- Spanish Cortes Event no longer assigns parliament seats on top of estates.
Oh good, somebody fixed my bug report :) this was incredibly annoying in my game.

Looks like a solid patch. Now all we need are renders :D

- Fixed the province of Jangladesh not belonging to a Trade Company.
- Fixed most of Shanxi not belonging to a Trade Company.
- Fixed Limpopo not belonging to a Trade Company.

Arguin is still not part of a Trade Company and going to continue leaking institutions in Africa? This is on purpose I presume? Or oversight?

Thanks a lot for all of the bug fixes.
