Top of the morning to you Victorians!

Finally playable.

- Fixed heirs being bald.

Why are you doing this to me? :'(

 

[Keksburg]

Does it mean that we could finally see loc: German Empire being available?

- Fixed heirs being bald.

YES! I don’t understand why I hated this bug so much, but I’m glad it’s gone.

This happened with CKIII too for some reason, as the game progressed eventually everyone went bald lol.

It’s the stress of living as a medieval lord. The hair is the first thing to go.

Can you explain what was causing that one? I found extremely amusing that I could Thermopilae anyone with the small single army I mobilized while I left everyone else to mobilize after the war started.

 

[pokeme]

Any plans for migration update?

Also, the one thing right now bothering me is that the game stops to a crawl by 1880-1890and it just gets slower…
It makes me very wary of trying to play a full campaign.

This doesn't solve the high unemployment I keep getting does it?

 

[xsmilingbanditx]

Did Mods in Multiplayer got fixed already?

 

[MathyM]

- Fixed battles where a very small armies could hold off a much larger opposing force for weeks.

I had recently won an impossible battle against a much larger force with 67 heroes that refused to die. Most epic last stand I had ever seen. They should know that their memory will be sung for a century.

Mods to the rescue

 

[Delta107]

It's bothering me that quality went down rather badly in recently released material. If it's beta or release candidate, label it as such.

 

[Prescott_London]

Ok, the problem of the strange estimated weeks to complete the construction was finally solved.

 

[Keksburg]

Does it mean that we could finally see loc: German Empire being available?

Still not available. I don't know if it's my own problem or universal. Maybe I should check it again before sending it to bug report...

 

[Dietwin von Lengenfeld]

- Fixed a bug that was causing Germany to always have the black-yellow-red flag when formed from the North German Confederation.

[Sighfer]

- Fixed AI countries sometimes repeatedly adding and removing the same IG from government.

Is that what's being causing those goofy Aristocratic revolts?

It was actually a confluence of obscure bugs, some which aggravated it by making it occur too often, but the underlying issue was a combination of:

- combat width, i.e. the numeric advantage the larger size can effectively leverage over the smaller in every round of combat, ensures that casualty numbers are reduced as the battle progresses, which is technically working as designed but feels extremely strange when one side has very few soldiers remaining (e.g. 23 men vs 10k only resulting in a couple of casualties for the smaller side each tick)
- in some cases, when those 23 men were spread out over multiple units or units represented by pops of several different cultures, the casualties taken per-pop became so small they became 0 due to rounding errors, letting those units fight forever

There is now a define that sets the an effective minimum force, and some bugfixes to go along with it.
