Europa Universalis IV - 6th of September 2022 - 1.34 'Sweden' Changelog

Greetings!

It's been a while since the last Dev Diary, but for a good reason: We're finally one week away from Europa Universalis IV: Lions of the North release!

Today we're sharing with you the changelog of the new version, 1.34, nicknamed 'Sweden' for good, not overpowered at all, reasons.

We're quite happy with the effort we've put into this update, as well as with the new content we've created for Lions of the North, and the whole team is very excited about it being released and played!

Along with the new version, we have a new loading screen, as usual, and we also want to share with you the picture of Charles XII of Sweden:

scandinavia_loading_screen.png

Apart from that, this Thursday, 8th of September, I'll be the guest of the EUIV Twitch stream with @BjornB , when we'll play and talk about some of the new content, with great fun for sure!

We hope you appreciate the effort we've put into this update, and we'll try to answer any questions and concerns relating to it during this week. Cheers!

So when a formerly landlocked country annexes a single costal province and then gets blockaded its trade will suddenly break down?

A better way would do this by trade node. All ports in a trade zone blocked -> -75% in that node.

- Daily morale damage is now percentage of enemy's max morale.
- Reintroduced 0.03 daily morale damage to deployed troops in battle, but only reinforcements get affected by the modifier.

What is it now?
Wasn't the combat system supposedly getting changed that damage depends on morale pips?

Real excited for all of these changes. It’s great to see a clear vision with this DLC and the QoL changes that have come with it. Great job team!

Is it possible to add HRE provinces to trade companies in current patch? Last time I played, I couldn't do that
Originally (post-emperor) you couldn't, but there's a bug in the current version. I think you can add literally any province connected to an HRE province now. I had some fun with converting and TCing west Africa and then forcing catholic Songhai into the HRE which probably isn't working as intended.

- Expanded the Buddhism exception for any kind of religion as they are a lot of Buddhist monuments in provinces which don't start as Buddhistic.

What does this mean?

Can you guys add "on_raze_province" in on_action file?Also, is it possible to set the limit for trigger? I know the alternative is with the OR but it would be easier with the limit

Well, that was a lot of reading. A lot of small stuff in there that changes a lot. Example: subjects released from Ming during crisis of the Ming disaster will make unifying the region a lot more doable early.

Looking forward to playing the patch.

I have two questions - 1:
AI is no longer blocked from declaring independence when at war.
Does this mean the player can't declare independence while at war?
2: Is forming the Hanseatic League a "German Regional Tag" as a restriction on country forming? E.g. can Dithmarschen form Hansa and then Saxony?

Edit: Am stupid, forming Prussia isn't limited by german regional tag rule. Changed to Saxony :)
