EU4: 1.30.1 Austria Update [583f] - Live Now! (not for problem reports)

Greetings! So we actually didn't get to release 1.30 before we decided we should do 1.30.1 instead, so here you will get two changelogs at once! Enjoy. We strongly recommend you finish any ongoing games you have before updating your game as old...

forum.paradoxplaza.com

Update: And I realize now as we release it that the hotkey I added for attach army is already used by detach to siege button. Luckily you can fix my mistake by using the hotkey manager

 

[Cagallo]

(Due to a bug in the forum software, it will not be possible to reply to this thread for a little while)

No prob, will wait.

 

[Alblaka]

Looking good so far. Any ETA on teaching AI that it doesn't need Coastal Batteries in every single coastal province in existence? Kinda expected that to make it into the hotfix, too, given it should be as simple as giving it less weight.

Nice to see HRE getting some needed slaps.

 

[Zylathas]

No fix to AI joining HRE en masse?

 

[Mindel]

What happens now if you try to transport a merc army on boats and don't have enough boats? You can't transport the army at all?

 

[ArcticKnight98]

Thank you paradox! <3 Now i can finally start my Milan campaign :3

[Twoflower]

In the Friday thread, Johan said that you "have reverted a mistake that made the AI ignore its logic for joining the HRE".
It is somewhat concerning to see no real word of that in the patch notes (the thing about countries that leave due to incidents does not sound like it will prevent the Pope or Poland from joining).

 

[Birbal]

Is this the full patch note? Was there any fix for the 'f' search shortcut that always add an f into the search bar?

 

[Gunthah]

Does this fix countries putting their provinces in the HRE and leaving their capital out of it?

Does this address countries like Albania, the Papal State and such entering the HRE on their own?

 

[Lavilledieu]

I have a question, I am not able to test right now so:
How are mercenary companies on transports handled, when a few transports with mercs get killed? Will your company just be smaller, with the same amount of manpower? Will the maintenance cost change adequately?

 

[marcatzeri]

It looks you can still easily chain hre members so the main problem of 1.30 goes unfixed

 

[I'm gaming]

Will it fix

No fix to AI joining HRE en masse?

@Groogy

 

[Connacht]

Thanks for this hotfix.

 

[atwix]

Fixed so you don't get PU CB if your religion don't believe in those things when using the assign heir

Are you implying by this that getting restoration of union cb on a RM partner that uses "introduce heir" is working as designed?

I thought this was buggy.

 

[Darth.]

Assign heir? Do you mean "Introduce Heir"? How does that give a PU cb?

 

[Groogy]

No fix to AI joining HRE en masse?

Yes but because of our workflow and trying to get the patch out asap the tool that parses for the changelog couldn't find this entry I am afraid

- AI - Diplomacy: Reverted misstake that made AI ignore it's logic for joining HRE.

Probably some more things that it missed because of that.

What happens now if you try to transport a merc army on boats and don't have enough boats? You can't transport the army at all?

Yepp, if it ain't big enough you can't transport it. The original idea as iterated before is that we want to emphasize local usage of mercs.

 

[Alfray Stryke]

Are you implying by this that getting restoration of union cb on a RM partner that uses "introduce heir" is working as designed?

I thought this was buggy.

Assign heir? Do you mean "Introduce Heir"? How does that give a PU cb?

Introduce Heir was referred to as Assign Heir internally, hence the different phrasing, but yes the intention is if you use it any nation that has a royal marriage with you will obtain a Restoration of the Union CB against you (provided you meet the other requirements for being in a Personal Union).

 

[Mindel]

Is there any fix yet for the bug where you promise AI allies land, give them nothing, and they are cool with it?

 

[IndigoRage]

It looks you can still easily chain hre members so the main problem of 1.30 goes unfixed

Did you test it? Supposedly the attempted fix was simply skimmed over for the patch notes.
