Hi all!

2.6.1 is finally out for you to enjoy. The release of the expansion The Reaper's Due, content pack and Full Plate Metal will be within an hour.

FYI: 2.6.0 + 2.6.1 were merged together and are released at the same time (now), that's the reason behind calling the patch "2.6.1".

Important information:

- Older save games should work with 2.6 but if you want to be really safe you should finish off any games in 2.5.2 before updating
- How to revert patch level: Right click CK2 in Steam, choose "Properties", click "Betas" tab, select 2.5.2 in the dropdown list and let it update.

- No longer game over as Merchant Republic when liege dies and your relative is leading Mercenary band
- Destroying titles no longer transfer vassals to top liege if holder has another title of same tier or higher
- Optimized a whole bunch of events that were hard on the CPU
- Only the descendants of bastards can inherit their titles - otherwise they now go to the liege
- Reduced the priority of certain messages to reduce spam
- Fixed case where liege before war wasn't cleared properly
- Fixed so characters located in the court of host are moved away when the host loses title and become unlanded
- Fixed the other side's occupations being counted when one side had fully occupied the other side, making it impossible to hit 100% warscore without liberating every holding
- Adults will no longer remain Curious, and instead turn the trait into an adult trait
- Fixed localisation issues in event ZE.2083
- Fixed observing players in lobbies sometimes having their character changed when a player joins the lobby
- Fixed the enforce realm peace cooldown being wiped by saving and reloading
- Fixed there sometimes being a mismatch between the total warscore and its constituent parts when there's multiple attackers
- Fixed claimed titles being considered contested during "claim all" wars even when they're not in the targeted realm
- Fixed crash when reading broken saves that include duplicate characters or characters with ID 0

I see what you did there.

Anyway, like someone else posted somewhere, this classic sums up my current excitement.

What are the things you added between 2.6 and 2.6.1?
2.6 and 2.6.1 are the same patch. Internally we added the performance fixes and lots of other fixes (it would take some time to get to know the difference) after we were finished with 2.6 and in the end we decided to release them as the same patch.

Just out of interest, how long does it take to put together these patch notes? I'd imagine it's done as you go along, but to keep track of, take note of, and collate all the changes that are implemented seems like a massive job.

We do it as we go along, and it's very useful when trying to put together a summary of what we've added as well. Hard to say exactly how much time we spend on it though.

Every time a change is made, a changelog entry is written.
Occasionally people forget to write a changelog entry (I know I've done so myself), which is why sometimes a few things will be missing from the final log.

This means that getting the finished changelog is rather easy though, since all the entries will already be there and just need to be combined into one list (internally there's a list for each major update the beta testers get).

The time spent is pretty low. At most a minute or two per changelog entry, probably more like half a minute.

Awesome that we can now release tribute states! I love the tribute system, but something that I've wanted to see since it was implemented was the diplomacy decision to demand tribute. It would be almost like offering vassalization, but more based on relative power and less on borders. Genghis Khan was well known for giving enemy states a chance to surrender and pay tribute instead of being obliterated, and I'd love to be able to take the same kind of approach in my own nomad campaigns.

If you put "Random" for Aztec invasion and Mongol Invasion is there a chance that it still will not come? That would be cool, so it is more the mystery. Cause I do not want to put it on for the Aztecs if I know they are going to come, only if it is a mystery.

In theory it's possible they won't appear, but it's pretty unlikely.

I'm thankful for a lot of these MUCH needed fixes. Especially pillaging and revolt wars continuing upon title transfer but I'm still waiting for the fix to the cataphract retinue graphic turning into horse archers. When that works ill come back to ck2
