1.06b Fan Club

[Warspite_TW]

One major bug prevented me from starting a new game. The starting techs are all messed up... I mean, Alexandria gets 0-0-0 tech? and Syracuse is the same. And most of East Europe. I'll wait for a patch... And the "pause" option in message setting always reseting?

The only reason I'm still using 1.06b is because I have a savegame to finish. After that I'm never going back.

 

[Theddude]

I'll keep 1.07, thanks. Best patch yet.

It's cool that Paradox treated us to these improvements for free.

that sentence really rustled my jimmies

I do like 1.07, just needs a couple of tweaks in the vassal levies.

I can see why the new levy system might be annoying in some circumstances, but those circumstances are pretty rare. The vast majority of the time the new system just reduces micro management, and means you no longer have to spend 5 minutes manoeuvring 50 men out of the way of all the enemy armies that are making a beeline for them.

I've only noticed 1 bug so far and it was pretty minor, although I am playing the CK2+ mod which I think fixes any bugs with technology and removes the stupid Byzantine CB.

Come on, lads! 1.06 was more unbalanced and with more bugs! And the new additions are great! (im a bit skeptical with imperial reconquest though, it can lead to very ahistorical situations)

 

[Nague]

1.07 plus balance mods all the way

 

[Dayman]

1.07 not only introduced minor quibbles which make me say reactionary things like "GAME IS BORKEN!" and "I HAET U PARASOX!", it also gave me indigestion and my cat threw up in my new shoes.

It's a great patch and all the issues will be smoothed. I don't know why people get so upset over these things. Is it because your uberleet armies got beat because of your bad strategy and you want to blame something besides your lack of leadership ability?

Sometimes these complaints are more of a PEBKAC issue than a game issue

-1 The new levy system is one of the best features of the patch.

This.
Only two things I dislike in the new patch:
1) Muslims are still ridiculously OP
2) The faction system lacks long-term planning for the plotting vassals. When they bring a dude to power they should actually be loyal to him not just start a new "install pretender X to throne" faction.

Otherwise I think the new patch is near flawless.

-1 You know, this happens every single patch. There were 1.06 rage threads when it came out. People proclaimed that the game was broken at the time; now threads place it on a golden pedestal.

Factions are great. Yes, some refinement on AI behavior is in order, but from what I can tell, players are mostly whining because they haven't figured out how to deal with them yet.

The liege levy system is fine. Yes, it's slightly less realistic, but gameplay takes precedence over realism. Stop granting dukes holdings across multiple continents...that isn't realistic either .

Fully agreed. -1.

The first patch isn't always the greatest. But, I've not come across many game-breakers yet in 1.07. However, everything is an overall improvement. Factions are amazing.

More of a dev oversight than a bug I think. Muslim counties start with like 5-15-15 tech, whereas Christians start off way low. Technically, it's working as intended; the Christian counties are getting the proper tech.

 

[MassMurderer]

The people who dont like the new levy system are weekend warriors aka armchair generals, learn how to play the game, stop giving Dukes random counties\duchies, i for one like to keep the borders pretty, stop conquering random counties far away from ur empire.

"I wish i had 3 hands so i could give them titties 3 THUMBS DOWN" haha.

 

[unmerged(448676)]

The new patch is awesome,my only problem is that factions are weird,I had a dude plotting against me to give the ducy of achaia a new ruler (I had achaia and athens same time) and the Duke of crete for some reason had to give a *** about what I was doing.Anyways my son,in who I was planning to give the duchy,join the Cretan and waged war against me to give a lowly count of mine the duchy.This really did not make sence

2) The faction system lacks long-term planning for the plotting vassals. When they bring a dude to power they should actually be loyal to him not just start a new "install pretender X to throne" faction.

This could be looked at. A simple +30 opinion "installed my preferred liege" bonus would be sufficient. And it'd be preferable if they actually liked the person they tried to instate before actually starting the faction in the first place. lol

I'm hesitant about muslims being OP, however. It feels like Christianity vs. Islam is all dependent on the outcome in Iberia. In my new 1.07 game, the Christians won, and are now warring each other like rabid dogs. ERE lost Armenia, but have fought off 3 Jihads and an invasion.

 

[Cymsdale]

Well I typically back the largest "install X" faction as an attempt to lower crown authority. Maybe the AI is thinking the same way I do.

 

[Wallain]

It's not the bugs mate. It's the whole new levy mechanics.

What about it? It's great.

New levy system works well for me.

The new levy system is great.
