BETA Patch 1.13 - Checksum 607e

- Now more reluctant to ally countries with a significantly weaker military potential.
- Now less willing to ally much weaker countries that already have powerful allies.

Great thinking. I hope it becomes even harder to ally France as OPM and drag France into my war.

- Will now build more transports.
- Will now retreat from naval combats that it is clearly losing.

England stubbornly refusing to build transports were getting old. Nice job here, too. How about AI retreating from land combats as humans do?

Well, so much for my planned "get a Constitutional Monarchy with Westphalia" game...

You might as well play it now (unless you're already doing an ironman save). It's being released as a beta because most of Paradox is on vacation (Sweden and July) so they won't be around to deal with any critical issues that may be present. If not for that it would have been a regular release.

I usually do one campaign a month, so I can wait. I aint trying to say everyone else needs to wait I am just saying for me personally it will be better to wait for the full release, I appreciate Paradox putting it out right before they go on vacation and I am sure a lot of people are enjoying it but it is just not for me this time around, no biggie in a few weeks the full release will be out and I'll enjoy it too.

Would anyone be willing to share details on the Form Tuscany decision, as I fear that the beta might break my save?

- Console command 'ideadump' is now available to modders (lists all nations with generic ideas in game.log).

This is still only available to developers

Well in my case old Ironman saves cause crash to desktop.

It´s ok, wanna do a new game anyway my french one was getting boring.

Will this beta patch saves be compatible with 1.13 live version?

That obviously depends on yet unknown bugs in the beta.

Cloud ironman saves will crash. However you should till be able to run your local ironman save.

Nerfed the horse artillery policy

Hmm... didn't notice this in the patch notes:

OFFENSIVE_WAR_COOLDOWN = 10, -- Years between when you can call a country into an offensive war on your behalf

Meh I am gonna wait on this one until the full release, there is nothing in particular that calls my attention in this patch and is a beta so I can expect some bugs, thanks for the hard work but good things come to those who wait ;o

Unless you see reports of crashes, today, can't see any reason to wait.<EDIT - hmmm...maybe wait for a hotfix for the colonization issue, though>

Fix to the arrival notification issue is huge, if you used that message.

Holy crap, light ship maintenance is down to 0,04 ducats, same as transport ships. That's quite the change.

0.03 in my defines.lua, but who's counting.

With the nerf to provincial trade values, should go a long way toward restoring the balance between LS trade power and provincial trade power. If it's cost-effective enough, traders will spam them out, again, meaning it still becomes an effective money sink (unlike in 1.12 where they just weren't that useful).
