1.3 Patch Released! [checksum 2289]

[The Blood Eagle]

I think the sleeper MVP of this patch is the AI actually converting it's provinces. Lithuania was always so doomed...

Do American versions of Steam update slower or something? I can't update the game and when I search for updates using the EU4 launcher it says my game is up to date but I'm still stuck on 1.2. Tried re-installing the game but it just re-installed to 1.2. Anyone else having the same problem?

 

[Marco Dandolo]

- dynasty names from define_ruler is now used for republics as well if used.

Dear Johan,

will this mechanic also be available for theocatic governments/Papacy? This would allow modders to work with church nepotism and Medici Popes or Borgia Popes...

Yes - I don't have the current checksum, I think I have the 1.2 checksum ... but it says it's 1.3?

Thank you so much. This had been happening so much, three allies turned on me for no apparent reason.

Can not wait to check out the new patch

 

[Summercat]

Uninstalled EU4, deleted some files that were left behind, Reinstalled EU4 started steam fixed my issues.

Now to just disable water and all the settings so I can play it.

As some have already pointed out, there seems to be a bug where Ironman games (started in the new patch) turn non-Ironman. I played one with Poland last night, and it's not Ironman according to the list. There is, of course, the explanation that I missed selecting the Ironman option and somehow turned on monthly autosaves, creating the impression that I was playing Ironman while I actually wasn't. I'd say it's a bug though.

So, the elephant in the room is going to continue to be ignored from your side Paradox?(Unless I missed changes to warscore and coalitions)

The elephant in the room was the non-functional combat. Now that it's dealt with maybe we can start on the hippopotamus in the room.

I have to agree on that one.
Actually after a quick test it seems AE is now increased a little even tho I don't see any mention of it in the notes. I get more AE with neighbors than I do with the target I took provinces from(Brandenburg vs Teutonic, taking Neumark+Danzig), and more AE than I did pre-patch as I still have the start of that game fresh in mind from yesterday. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly how much AE I gained with for instance Saxony pre-patch, but it was barely any color on the AE-map as opposed to a nice red-tint with 48 AE now, and 5 states joining coalition as a result as opposed to none before.

I'm still nervous about playing a central European country besides Austria now that it appears nothing was done to slow the reformation of the HRE. I've only played 2 games of EU4 so far, but in the second one an AI-controlled Austria had managed it in under 200 years, so there's no telling how fast a human player can accomplish it.

Johan, how do we set a ruler's age when using define_ruler, is it just age =

Also what happened to the trigger to check ruler age that was said to be added? Did it not make the patch, or was it just left off the change log?

i think that code was done in the dev branch for the new dlc we'll announce soon.

try it in an event. i think it ought to work.

 

[Talq]

So whats with all the pre-start wars giving -200 relations improving at 1 a year? Doesn't that determine your starting opponents just a little bit too much?

Can't wait for the announcement.

 

[Ethanol]

Can't wait for the announcement.

Well I think we can safely bet on a dynasty DLC now (well it was either that or colonization, and since they said they invented a new system for this dlc...).

Anyway thanks for the patch, the Nepal nerfs came as I was right in the middle of a game with them and even if they are really harsh I still find their new bonuses ok.
Maybe just the +0.25 army tradition is a bit silly, I would have liked it to stay at +0.50 (which in comparison of other countries is not that OP).

- Three new countries can now be formed through decision. Hannover,...

As a Hannoverian, I approve of this decision.

Seems not... I tried loading my two current ironman saves, but couldn't due to the error: "eu4 needs to be unmodded AND validated"

Right there is the reason why I pre-ordered this game but still haven't played it.
