EUIV (1.8) Purple Phoenix / Basileus achievement

[AgisTournas]

The Basileus achievement seems to be missing some provinces:

The blackened ones are the requirements, but there are 12 more that should be included there.

And the Purple Phoenix DLC definitely needs some love, too...

I guess to be fair, if you take that much of Anatolia, then you've probably snagged the rest of it (maybe minus Trebizond).

Also the PP missions aren't "broken," they just have an insane MTTH

I suppose that the achievement requirements were not updated to fit the new map...

I don't think he used the term "broken".

But since they didn't update the missions to reflect the new map...

While I agree they should be fixed but at the same time I wouldn't hold my breath as they been nerfing and renerfing Byzantium either directly or indirectly.

I don't mind the nerfing (even though I completely disagree with the disappearance of cores!).
Paradox makes this game, Paradox sets the rules. Plain and simple.
BUT I want my game to be properly updated and the DLCs that I have bought should be updated as well...

The nerfing doesn't follow the rules though

And if they follow the rules Antaolia should have their Byzantium cores back because there hasn't been a peace for 150 years too many repeated wars and truces between the two countries for that to happen.

...or have some reconquest missions firing from the start.
Let's say, get a mission to reconquest Crete which will add the core once you select it.
Then, get a mission to reconquest Cyprus, Trebizond etc, etc...
This way it will be much more fun

Yes it's almost like it was a dlc at one point, maybe name it after the purple room, so Byzantium can rise like a Phoniex.

The dlc purple phoenix has been out for a while that has several missions that gives you claims to reconquest areas lost. How paradox has let the dlc become broken and ignore the dlc.

That's my point, too!

Soon finishing Byz run, while PP missions and decisions were a bit bonkers at times fundamentally they all work so while they should be fixed it's no reason not to play Byz.

 

[GeneralJhon]

The Purple Phoenix works fine with 1.8 (except the claim on the new parts of Anatolia). The only thing that doesnt makes sense is the CB on Erzurum since is at the eastern part of Anatolia and too far from it.

 

[dexterstclaire]

What is actually needed to fix the Purple Phoenix missions? Is it just a matter of tweaking the MTTH, or do triggers/effects need to be redone as well? I guess I'm asking if a mod could do it while Paradox drags their heels on that (admittedly minor) issue.

 

[hashinshin]

I'd rather see the cores restored so that Byzantine isn't a faction you have to cheese to play. It used to be perfectly possible to play Byzantine without cheesing mechanics and just winning purely off of normal wars. Once again with the cores removed, Ottomans enforcing their warning, and Ottomans building a large navy Byzantine is back to relying on cheese.

It's actually very frustrating.

Don't know what universe you are in where Byzantium doesn't have it's cores, it seems to have them on all the old provinces it used to for me.

If you change between bookmarks before starting a new game you get all the cores back, BUT this is a bug!

 

[AgisTournas]

Any news about this being fixed in the next (1.9) big patch?
Will the Purple Phoenix events be adjusted to the new map?
Will the cores in Greek lands "return" to Byzantium?
