EU4 - Development Diary - 18th of October 2016

[Johan]

Hi everyone and welcome to the first development diary after Rights of Man. We have been extremely happy with the enormous popularity of this release, and aim to improve on this level of quality.

We did a survey of the community on Rights of Man, and the features you seemed to love the most was the ruler personalities, leader traits and the consort mechanic.

Here is a quick list of what some of the team’s personal #1 favorite feature is!

• Johan - Disinherit Heir
• LittleFido - Ruler Personalities
• Starnan - Ruler Personalities
• Trin Tragula - Ruler Personalities
• BjornB - Consort Mechanics
• Forzaa - Great Powers
• Anona - Ruler Personalities
• DDRJake - Ruler Personalities
• MrNibbles - Ruler Personalities
• Imse Vimse - Ruler Personalities

We are aware of the problems some people have with multiplayer and aim to release as soon as we have solved the problems. Meanwhile we are working on a 1.19 patch that we aim to have in public beta in the second week of November, with a final release before the end of the month.

So what is 1.19 then? Well… It’s a really meaty and big patch with new cool and free features. We’re adding some new options to the game, enhancing mechanics for different expansions, improving AI, changing zoc, tweaking game balance, and much more.

1.19 will obviously have a name, and a focus.. Try to guess the name from this new loading screen..

v1.19.0.0 Southern Sweden. Waiting for prize.

The Skåne patch? That sounds cool but alas it's not correct

 

[Trin Tragula]

What!? No. It's about the southern province of great Sweden: Denmark.

Skåne transcends Denmark and Sweden

It would be nice if you improve rivalry mechanic - make it more transparent and predictable.
