Dev Diary #115 - Great Work

[Tuscany]

OOOH, will Aztec AI build Aztec pyramids, assuming a successful invasion?

 

[Oorlog]

Grandiose!

 

[Tuscany]

Will this update come with bug fix？

As always we will try to fix some of the worst bugs.

 

[Es57]

Will the update be compatible for older saves, or will it break them ?

 

[myrt]

Will it be save-compatible with the current version?

 

[MCMXII]

Am i blind or this pyramid is in Sussex?

While not Sussex, there is a pyramid in Portsmouth, which is just next door.

(It's a swimming pool)

 

[sreckom92]

Is wonder description final?
"A simple tomb is not enough for some rulers" and "A ruler is immortalized in this great statue" seem rather simplistic and short.
Kinda hoped it would read about the character/dynasty that made it.

 

[sreckom92]

(It's a swimming pool)

Does it have a pyramid slide?

 

[fr-rein]

Will be there a way to update Fortress wonder to the Dwarf Fortress, to supply us with dwarf courtiers?

Cordially

 

[Censor96x]

Both in the previous dev diaries and in the Facebook post you mentioned castles. When you will talk about them? Will they be like all the other wonders or will they have some special mechanics?

 

[Inarr]

Question: will the cost of an upgrade in wonder be scaled with income?

 

[Heiliges Thüringens Reich]

3D models, yay!

 

[Bearjuden]

The Mausoleum it is a place to honor the dead rulers, and can even be used to intimidate friends and foes alike.

Can we bury our Hunting Dog in it, either alongside the ruler who had him (after both die) or in their own plot?

 

[Tuscany]

Will Patch 3.1 be the kind of update that you can continue a campaign in progress, or best to start a new one?

Will the update be compatible for older saves, or will it break them ?

Will it be save-compatible with the current version?

On the whole 'Probably' a few things like Historical wonders won't be though.

 

[MonzUn]

The text will change dynamically based on parameters like the state of the wonder and for how long it has been standing

 

[Asiak]

Show us one of the rarer ones unlocked by trait?

Is the dog pyramid included in this?

Either way it looks amazing and I'm super excited for it.

 

[Xenrek]

Question on cathedrals, are there any upgrades that benefit beyond the holder/realm? Like say, a bonus to base moral authority for as long as the faith holds it?

Unrelated note, not sure if it was touched on in a previous DD, while these *are* occupying a slot similar to forts/posts/hospitals, does that mean there is *no* courtier/holder associated with them besides the holder of the county?

I know certain wonders unlock honorary minor titles to distribute, just seems something like a fortress or cathedral would also come with somethibg/someone more physically attached to the location

Wonders are owned by the top liege of the realm, regardless of who holds the individual province.

 

[blackjack419]

As long as the Civ-style "someone beat you to the wonder" doesn't happen, I'm stoked.

 

[Mindel]

Will the family generation game rule be fixed to generate family members with decent stats?
