A little teaser for the 1.3 patch

[Johan]

We're working on a 1.3 patch, and expect it to be out sometime during August.

Some minor sneakpeaks from it.

* The Naval AI has had alot of love, and should now be performing alot better.
* Declaring wars on nations with much lower (currently 20) civilisation value should no longer required a casus belli.
* Worth of provinces when negotiating peace is now scaled depending on the size of the country, so Judea as an example may be worth 2% when demanding it off a giant Seleukid Empire, but maybe 50% of a small minor owning it.
* Britain has gained a few playable tribes.

We are also adding more events & more diplomatic/intrigue actions to do with characters.

Well, direction seems good. Maybe Rome has hope after all.

The inclusion of the percentage value depending on country size was the only thing In promised but couldn't be included.

Looks good, nice to know you haven't just abdandoned it and are still trying to drum up support! Good luck, I'll will defiantly be playing when its realised!

I'm just waiting for colonization to be fixed, so that every minor and their grandmother isn't colonizing Poland or Gaul and reduced BB for annexations, especially with +++tribes being brought in to further clog up the scene.

Great i can't wait for this patch The change to the peace is one i have been hoping for, there was the same problem with EU3 when it was first released wasn't there?

 

[Capibara]

I like the province worth feature

Any chance the ridiculous technical issues will be resolved with this patch? I haven't been able to play for months...

 

[Eöl]

Ooh will there be female Sarmatian leaders?

 

[Woody Man]

Looking forward to it Great to see the new peace score definitions!

Is Sarmatia even in Rome?

 

[Eöl]

Is Sarmatia even in Rome?

Yup, its these guys:

 

[unmerged(56754)]

Yup, its these guys:

I though the land that is Sarmatia is in PTI.

Is there any chance the map will ever be expanded to include India/Persia?

 

[danielquvi]

well done

Hi Johan,

I have bought the game five days ago, and it's good to see that you are working to improve that interesting game.
There are some thinks that have to be improved, and I am waiting this patch with many hope, and I feel like to play it.

I hope that will be fixed some program failures, I talk about on my reply in the post "Ideas for patch 1.3?"


Good luck!.

Well according to the wiki map Sarmatia pretty much controls the western shores of the Black Sea and it seems to be in the right place.

WOW. This is the first time in years that I see Johan mentioning a release date

But alot of the Northern and eastern regions of Sarmtia aren't included

Please make improvements to the character system. Family lines shouldn't extinguish after 70 years, there should be more women, and more marriages.

 

[Vladislav]

That's great. I was worried that everyone forgot about Rome. I'm glad there's finally going to be something interesting in Britain.

First, introduce different types of owned lands - home provinces (with population granted citizen status), allied territories, occupied lands. All should differ in terms of taxes, manpower or research provided to metropoly. Second, modify population system. Idea to have citizens giving only research, freemen only manpower and slaves only taxes is primitive and absurdal. Who are freemen in a home province? You should be able to have slaves everywhere, citizens only in your home provinces (see above) and freemen should represent population of allied or conquered provinces who were not granted citizenship (yet). All types of population shoud provide all bonuses - just in different proportions (maybe with exception of slaves not providing research and manpower, though the latter is questionable for many nations besides Rome). Third, change governing system so that a governor has 2-4-provinces regions to rule instead of gazillion people ruling small pieces of land.

If you polish Rome to perfection, it's still going to be a shallow game, not worthy of the EU prefix.
