1.09 is coming!

Cadorna,

I take it you mean "new features", because 1.09 certainly contains several improvements. For example, the tech progression works much better now. I would say that is an improvement.

and free airline tickets to Denmark (provided by Paradox) for anyone who wins a GC as Grenada.

Not to slight Denmark (it's as nice a place as any for a vacation), but why exactly do you want to go there?

- the ahistorical Tech level progression (too slow for everyone in 1.08, but relatively too fast for minors) - see the RealEU threads-,

I hate to sound aggressive, but haven't you followed this thread? This problem is fixed in 1.09.

Ok, sorry if I was unclear.

The tech progression in 1.09 is faster and more historically accurate, and the minors are no longer unproportionally quick.

Michael James,

since when is getting the game working the way it is supposed to an improvement? It's called a fix.

Yes, but how do you know when it works like it is "supposed to"? Arguably that would be when it works like specified, but every specification and design document I've ever seen has left gaping holes open for interpretation; that is simply how software development works in real life.

Can I ask what a "nonworking monarch event" is? I've never run across it or heard of it.

If you've only been playing single-player games I would expect you haven't. However, there are certain events set to happen for a host of monarchs in the game, and these only occured for one player nation.

Also, since some people have been using this patch already, what was done to fix the tech development and how does it work in the game.

See my previous post.

Actually, I must admit I didn't understand either what was this "tech developpement bug" hartman was so happy to see fixed, until I read Doomdark's last post. It wasn't that obvious...

That is true (but bug or improvement, AFAIK this is the only problem with tech dev that has been discussed). They should probably say something about it in the readme for the patch. Still, the important thing is that it is there.

Chema_Cagi,

I would be tempted to agree with you if it wasn't for the fact that Paradox has labored tirelessly bugfixing and fine-tuning since the game was first released in Germany back in November. You cannot expect them to continously give you new features; especially not considering the fact that they have announced a true expansion pack.

I do agree that it would be nice if they fixed some of the more pressing bugs in the bug list (and I still think there is a good chance they will), but honestly, whatever they do there will always be new bugs and requests for new features. There comes a day when it is simply time to move on...
