- Fixed the AI considering wars where it isn't the main defender when figuring out whether it should peace out of offensive wars
- Fixed the AI considering the same war multiple times when figuring out whether it should peace out of offensive wars

###################
# Interface
###################
- The interface for transferring subunits between two units no longer uses drag-and-drop, but instead uses buttons once more
- Fixed a number of relation types (E.G., "lover") not being localised based on gender in the languages that need that (E.G., French)
- Fixed terrain modifiers showing up as blank modifiers (for example, in the supply tooltip)
- Executing an unrelated interaction will no longer cause council consideration to reset
- Fixed the modifier for the 3rd Satanist rank not being capitalized correctly
- Artifacts will now be equipped by default upon obtaining them, assuming the holder is able to equip it
- Fixed the cultural buildings showing up as "nobuilding" in the tech view
- Fixed the portraits for wars in the lower-right corner not always updating when something changes them (E.G., imprisonment or coming of age). They should now always update within one day
- Fixed the pause option for message settings always being disabled in the pop-up, even when actually set to enabled
- Fixed the pause option for combat results using the "other characters" setting rather than the "close family members" setting when set to pop up
- Societies can now be looked at when observing the game
- 3D objects for castles, cities and churches now have levels, as they were meant to.
- The level is computed by using the number of buildings in the main settlement of the province
- They are controlled by values in defines.lua: CITY_MAIN_BUILDING_LEVEL_2 and CITY_MAIN_BUILDING_LEVEL_3
- Longer names should now be visible in the council job view
- Fixed so that long army names do not go out of bounds in ally orders
- It is now possible to search for characters' secret religion in the Character Finder. Will only return characters the player know is of the specified secret religion. Also added a "Has Secret Religion" filter that'll only show characters you know to have a secret religion
- When you can rank up in your society you now get a separate alert that takes you to the Society screen, rather than being part of the "important decision" alert and taking you to the Intrigue screen
- The ally order tooltip will now tell you when the AI is too busy with another war to help you
- Fixed hidden character modifiers being visible on the title screen
- No longer possible to give ally orders to other players, since nothing makes them obey them anyway
- Fixed nation adjectives not getting properly localised in some cases
- Council job selection now resets if your councilor dies or is replaced while you're assigning them a job
- Fixed the notification when a settlement is finished saying "A Tribal has finished [...]" rather than "A Tribal holding has finished [...]"
- The "claim" console command now gives feedback on whether or not it worked
- The button that toggles all DLC in the launcher now toggles all mods if that's the currently selected tab
- You no longer get the alerts for commander titles if you have "auto assign commanders" enabled


###################
# User modding
###################
- Fixed the game failing to find government unique title names at times. Now it'll never return the default name if a non-default one is defined. It now also tries without the tier string before it tries without the government string, so if you were to define "city_title" and "king_title", the former will be used
- "add_law" can now take parameters: "cooldown" and "opinion_effect". "cooldown" simply works as a way to specify that there's no cooldown, like add_law_w_cooldown does. "opinion_effect" can be used to specify that the opinion effect of passing the law shouldn't be applied. E.G., the anger/happiness at succession law changes, or at tribal organization changes. Existing script still works as before. Example of new syntax:
add_law = {
law = true_cognatic_succession
cooldown = no
opinion_effect = no
}
- Messed up localisation is now less likely to crash the game
- FROM in on_character_convert_religion and on_character_convert_culture is no longer a temp character, but instead the culture/religion itself. This only provides access to comparing to the culture/religion (or group). It should also still work to set cultures/religions and such. Please report any issues encountered with it. This change also means that it should now be possible to reference the previous characters outside "immediate" and similar without the game crashing
- same_society_as trigger will no longer be true when both characters are not part of a society.
- Added the command line argument -scriptlog to enable log triggers and effects without enabling script asserts.
- Added artifact backgrounds (arti_bg.dds, arti_bg_glow.dds, arti_bg_small.dds, and arti_bg_glow_small.dds) to gfx/inventory/artifacts to make it easier for modders to make their own artifacts that follow the style of the vanilla artifacts
- Added society icon backgrounds (society_symbol_bg_stone.dds and society_symbol_bg_wood.dds) to gfx/inventory/societies to make it easier for modders to make their own societies that follow the style of the vanilla societies
- Added a better secret religion system, now based around a code attribute rather than traits. Characters can have up to one secret religion. If the character ends up as their secret religion, their secret religion is cleared. This can be set and accessed via script:
- Added triggers "secret_religion", "true_religion", "secret_religion_group", and "true_religion_group". True religion being defined as your secret religion if you have one, otherwise your public religion
- The religion triggers (religion, secret_religion, true_religion, and the group versions) can now optionally take a "target_type" determining which religion of the target they check against. E.G., religion = { target = ROOT target_type = secret } will check if the scoped character's public religion is the same as ROOT's private religion. The valid types are "public", "secret", and "true". The default is to use the same as the type being checked; religion default to public, secret_religion to secret, true_religion to true. A religion (group) name as the right-hand-side works for all the triggers
- Effect set_secret_religion takes a religion or a scope. It optionally takes a target type (true/secret/public), but defaults to secret
- Added trigger has_secret_religion which takes "yes" or "no"
- Added set_secret_religion and clear_secret_religion effects
- The "religion" and "set_secret_religion" effects optionally take a religion type (true/secret/public) to determine which to use when a scope is referenced. "religion" defaults to public, while "set_secret_religion" defaults to "secret"
- Added "secret_religion" console command that sets a character's secret religion. Defaults to the player's character
- Who can see a character's secret religion is defined in 00_religions.txt
- Added a can_see_secret_religion trigger. Takes a scope, and checks if the character scope you're currently in can see the target character's secret religion
- Societies can now have an associated religion, which is accessible from script in the same way as character or province religion, including on the right-hand-side of triggers and effects. This is scripted with for example "associated_religion = catholic". It has no effect beyond being accessible via script
- Added a convert_to_secret_religion effect. Takes "yes" or a character scope. Sets your public religion to your secret religion, or the target character's secret religion if a scope is used
- Added a on_character_convert_secret_religion on_action
- Added SecretReligion and TrueReligion localisation promotions so that [This.SecretReligion.GetName] and similar work
- Added a dynamic secret religious society system that significantly reduces the work involved in making a religious cult society
- All religions except those specifically excluded get a secret religious society generated. The attributes of this society is defined by a template in 00_societies.txt
- Most the sections in society definitions now provide the society itself as a scope (FROM)
- Societies can now have an associated religion (defined with associated_religion = religiontag). This means that scopes can now be used where religions could be used, such as the right-hand-side of the "religion" trigger or effect. It also means that the "religion" trigger and similar can be used within a society scope
- Added a secret_religious_cult scope, which will scope to the cult associated with the character's secret religion. Also works in religion and province scopes. This can also be used on the right-hand-side of effects and triggers
- is_rank_full can now take a society scope rather than just a society name
- Added a "secret_religion" history effect
- Added an on_artifact_inheritance on_action
- Scope: ROOT is the character, FROM is the artifact, FROMFROM is the old holder
- Fixed bugs in artifact_owner and original_artifact_owner scope changes
- Added tooltips for artifact_owner and original_artifact_owner scope changes
- Added "owner" and "original_owner" as valid scope changes for artifacts
- Added on_society_created and on_society_destroyed on_actions
- Fixed scoping to saved society and artifact event targets not working
- Added religion_scope, secret_religion_scope, true_religion_scope, and culture_scope as scopes. These scope to the religion/culture of the character/province/society (only religion for societies) currently scoped to. Can be saved as event targets
- Added a save_conversion folder in "common" which handles converting obsolete objects in saves. Currently handles religions and societies
- Added a clear_flags_with_prefix effect. Works in character, province, title, and artifact scopes
- Fixed the society rank tooltip not having FROM defined. FROM is now the society grand master, as with other society tooltips
- Fixed troops spawned to unlanded characters not getting any tech bonus. They now get the tech from the province they spawned in. If a "home" province is defined, they'll use that province's tech instead
- Added "fallback_text" for custom loc. If none of the triggered texts return true, this will be used instead if defined. The fallback text cannot have a trigger, and only one can exist
- Fixed the error log complaining if you use "set_mother = 0"
- Added is_interested_in_any_society = <yes/no> trigger. It evaluates if you're currently showing interest in a society or not.
- Society.GetName, Society.GetNameCap, and Society.GetCurrency now fall back to null_society and null_society_currency rather than just ending up blank
- Fixed the "has_artifact" condition showing up blank
- Fixed the game crashing in some cases after resigning and reloading, and hovering over a port that had a fleet in it when you resigned
- Fixed reverse_religion not working in some cases. Only affected the 2.7.1 beta
- Restored the behavior where "culture_group = something_that_doesnt_exist" always returns false. Only affected the 2.7.1 beta
- Ensured "portrait_society = something_that_doesnt_exist" always returns false

Please report any bugs in the bug report forum as usual, not in this thread. Thank you!
 
Patience is a virtue

Is what I learned waiting for this patch :)



- The interface for transferring subunits between two units no longer uses drag-and-drop, but instead uses buttons once more

Praise little baby cheeses!
 
kill! satanists!
 
Could you please make smaller patches in the future? How am I even supposed to read through this? :D

I would like for more patch fixes when certain bugs are fixed. I hate the idea of having a few bugs completely fixed but waiting to give them to us until more bugs are fixed that way they can do just 1 huge patch (1 and 1/2 months after DLC came out).
 
Eh. In all seriousness, a public rollout of software that's installed on user's hardware (or otherwise hard to rollback - as opposed to most, but not all, web software) is a horrible mess, and I understand the desire to do it as infrequently as you can get away with.

I mean, yes, I technically would like more smaller releases, I just suspect it would be at the cost of the actual content of those. Tl;dr: I'm actually pretty happy with this patch, and yes, I did read the changelog.
 
Is this gonna screw my Ironman game? My Jewy Conquest needs to continue. Do I need to revert to Beta?

I was using the Open Beta btw. Can someone give me some clarification on this please?

Have the Satanist abilities been weakened?

No, they're just WAY more capable of being spotted and therefore everyone hates them more. On the other hand, the actions you take now have more negative side effects. You could sacrifice someone to Satan and you are immediately under suspicion

Well, guess there's no point in me playing Satanists ever again if there's 0 benefits to be had :rolleyes:
