Ck2 Dev Diary #21: A Glimmer of Hope

Greetings! If you are reading this you have survived the outbreak launch of The Reaper’s Due. Perhaps you now feel a stirring of hope; can society rebuild? But no, the DLC was too virulent and has spread too far, it is now endemic to CK2 and cannot be cured, there is no hope.

Certain death aside, we are very happy with the reception of Reaper’s Due and the reactions it’s getting. We have had a few problems, but our Code Physicians have been working hard on a cure and if all goes well we’ll be releasing a hotfix today. It’ll cover the education bug non-Conclave owners have, the lack of music when the Context sensitive option is used, and various other things:
Code:

But 2.6.2 details are for future DDs, that’s all for now!

The DLC looks amazing, from the videos i see. A nice addition to the game i'd say. What i'd really like to see though is a new CK title (CK3) on an improved engine with many more capabilities both for the users who would like to mod the game and both for the devs so that they can deliver the needs and petitions of the community faster. Considering the hype the community has after the latest patch and DLC for the game, it's the best time to announce the development of a new CK title.

They said a while back ago they're still planning more DLC and are not prepared to retire the engine yet. It's still too soon for CK3.

Cheers for the DD Darkrenown, and cheers to you and the team for the quick fixes :). A bunch of quality disease-related euphemisms is just a bonus!
 
You will still be able to call your allies into wars like this, when you as the vassal start a war against your liege. The change we made only affects wars started by the third party. So if your ally declare a war against your liege, you cannot be called into that war.

Maybe still allow it for some CBs?
 
@Darkrenown :Can no longer call ally into war against their own liege

This is a bad change........

I just took advantage of it in my current save. I was Prince of France(and a SuperDuke) who lost the Election for King, but my wife was Queen of Navarra, Castile, Leon, Galicia, and Aragon. I started a claim war against the new king.....and called her in because it made sense.

With this rule that wouldn't be allowed to happen......

A Married couple with good relations and allies should be allowed to be called in.

I don't think that this would be stopped by the patch. My interpretation was ally X is vassal of Y who you declare war on. In that case you can't call them in but if you attack your liege you should be able to call an ally.

-EDIT
I of course now see the answer but surely my interpretation still stands?

Would it be possible to add that clarification to the patch notes?
 
Even if you and your ally has the same liege?

You mean in situations were you and your ally have the same liege, and then you declare war on your liege? Currently yes.

Maybe still allow it for some CBs?

We made this change to fix a few other issues with calling allies in a scenario like this. We'll evaluate and see if we need to do any further changes.

Does that also work for faction leaders?

To clarify once and for all; we've actually not changed any alliance rules with this particular change. We just fixed a bug where you got spammed by CtA's that you couldn't accept, as the target of the war was invalid for you. :)

Oh my god! Yes! Thank you! I was so worried that was working as intended now and I just didn't understand the factor that was making me a less than desirable alliance as their liege.

It's their new feature to get rid of unwanted people and thus make the game faster

That just gave me an idea for a new game rule: For people with stronger PC's, it would be cool to limit the effect of this cleanser. Right now I think it's locked into one mode, regardless of our specs.
