[BRK]

Steam just downloaded 400MB of content!

This is crazy prompt stuff, btw. If only all VG devs were this quick to respond & support...

Well played Wiz. Well played.

Also thanks to all of you guys at PDS, amazing work.

I just saw my fully maintained fort with full garrison get sieged down in one tick. Could it be that something else broke in the hotfix? That shouldn't be possible, right? There weren't even any cannons involved, and the province wasn't blockaded either. They just broke the walls on the first tick and immediately occupied it.

It's not a bug, what happened is that the AI rolled a 14 on the first siege tick, which breaks the walls. Once the walls are broken you as well as the AI have the option to make an assault on the fort. What happened was that they broke the wall on the first tick and immediately assaulted your fort and took it, because they had a shitton of infantry to spare relative to your garrison size. I strongly assume your garrison was not fully reinforced up to its limit probably because you only recently activated it and it takes some months to fill up the garrison after you activate a fort (also perhaps the fort level was way behind the current tech progress of your enemy). I think you need about 10 times the infantry (!) of the garrison to even consider an assault, I think with higher fort levels ideally you need even more than that. Also now that you can break the walls up to 3 times during a siege I believe each level of broken wall makes the assault less costly for the attacker.

Also I think Wiz recently payed 100 paper mana to upgrade his community management approach from "Constitutional" to "Enlightened Despotism", it's hilarious.

hmmm...

23 January, 1535 - Major Event: The Protestant Reformation in Croatia.

This was a fresh 1.13 game. Fast run-through (mostly an ignored hands-off) as TUR. Still just two observations. And maybe not a huge problem if the Reformation is a bit late. But how late is considered acceptable, and at what point do we perceive a problem?

That's only two decades later from my 1511 1.12.2

Anywhere from 1480 to 1550 is pretty acceptable, tbh. If it gets earlier or later, there's likely a problem.

Thanks for the fix wiz !

Now Natives are good, the +50% developement cost is much better.
Good update Thanks !

 

[Mizz2]

Wiz,Do you still think about lowering the core costs?

 

[RobRoy3]

Maybe. That's a much broader window than I've experienced. I typically see it between 1500-1520. Back-to-back observations in 1533 and 1535 starts to raise my eyebrows.

Unless they are intentionally trying to delay the Reformation?

 

[SolSys]

Stop talking about date formats.

Quite a strange post out of context [Show only Dev responses], but thank you for the hot-fix.

 

[Trin Tragula]

Unless they are intentionally trying to delay the Reformation?

It has essentially been reverted to exactly the way it was prior to the patch (events have been moved back to the same pulse they used to be on).

I am always impressed with the responsiveness of PDS. There is a reason why even if I buy other games, I always come back to EUIV. In addition, I just love the company.

Thanks for taking care of this before your guys, and gals, much needed vacation!

Give the man an inch and he takes a mile. It is quite amusing.

Just found out why the recent patch was so huge.
Not sure how I feel about it [moving between overjoyed to LotR-gollum-like]

Why is it so huge

That would be the disagree button.

Sorry, but it's not the kind of stuff you say out-right. Besides, even mentioning it is a big HINT.

 

[CompositeGNR]

Say it, don't be rude.

 

[Gerrit8500]

Good update, still waiting on Flemish ideas though. Even Luxembourg has them now...

 

[crukin]

It better not be more Jan Mayen bears.
