Hi all, Jamor here with some good news: after going through your reports from the release of Archimedes and prioritizing the most high-value fixes, 1.4.1 hotfix is out now and ready to be played over the weekend. It includes a bunch of good bugfixes and some small tweaks to gameplay and balance as well.
1.4.0 saves will probably be fine in this version, but in case you encounter any issues and want to finish an older game, you can revert back by right clicking on Imperator in your Steam library, selecting Properties -> Betas -> choose the version you want. Don't save an old, bugged game in the new version, roll back first.
We'll have more post launch support coming up, and are looking forward to your feedback on this version. We hope you have a fun weekend playing Imperator!
###################
# Game Balance
###################
- Corruption now scales character wages up to 250% instead of just 100%, because what’s the point of theft and graft if you go small time?
- Sanctioned Privileges National Idea now decreases corruption by 5% instead of 10%.
###################
# Interface
###################
- Updated capital tooltip to be more descriptive.
- Many fixes to the non-english localization files.
###################
# Script
###################
# Events
- Added a 2 year cooldown per territory for the city sacking event for ruler led armies
- Moving country now clears interaction loyalty modifiers.
- Antigonus now remembers what country Seleukos is in charge of, when ceding land to him.
- Fixed bad reference to location in desecration popup.
- Added goto button for Sack event
# Missions
- Fixed Destroy Apulians bypass to require both Apulian nations as subjects.
# Setup
- Added trait to forgotten daughter Ptolemais in Miletos
- Athens now starts with regular old Athena in its pantheon. Fitting, since she gave the city its name and all.
- The people of Acragas have overcame their initial crisis of faith, and decided on what deities they want to worship at the start of the game.
# Deities
- Kanya Devi now uses Monthly Stability Change rather than Monthly Stability Decay. Fixes an issue which made the deity harmful to worship.
- Tag exclusive deities will no longer disappear or become unavailable after you complete a formable or otherwise change names in some way.
- Fixed problem with Krishna’s deity modifier.
###################
