Hm, is steam usually late for updates? Or am I getting too impatient?

 

Always the same, banal, but for me VERY important question...... is it savegame compatible with 1.2x?

 

Ideas for the Knights? <3

 

Seems not... I tried loading my two current ironman saves, but couldn't due to the error: "eu4 needs to be unmodded AND validated"

 

Great!!!!I will try it asap

 

Looks like quite a major patch Good job!

 

You have no idea how happy this makes me!

 

The changelog is now on the wiki in an indexed format.

 

I just fired up the game and tried again - this time it works! Seems to have been a fluke...

 

Too bad my best allies already set me as rivals

 

That list is a mile long! As usual. Makes me happy.

 

Good news!
I can finish my Kongo achievement happily now

 

New Countries, New Goals!

 

Awesome! I hope that Quality ideas will work now properly!
