EUIV - Development Diary - 3rd of March 2020

[PurpulaPhoenixum53]

These updates look great, but I'm a little worried about this upcoming DLC.

It's been 8 months since this DLC was first announced, yet the only features that have been shown are Mercenaries, Government Reforms, and Papal Reforms (That's what I can remember, if there has been more...please correct it). We still haven't seen Burgundian missions. While I'm completely understanding of wanting this content to be top grade and to balance the numbers out but, its been almost a year since this has been announced and we still haven't seen wider Catholicism mechanics (and potentially Reformation fixes) and the HRE overhaul. Its starting to come to the point where certain points of the dev dairy lacked clarity because we have no idea what the redacted is and how important is. I'm just wondering when are going to see the overhauls for the HRE and Catholicism and the Reformation. This month, next month, or sometime before the end of the year?

Don't forget the changes to naval warfare, some nice map changes in Europe and additional cultures, Revolution rework, Peasant war in HRE...
Patience, buddy. Only a couple of minutes more...

You're forgetting quite a few things, like Imperial Incidents, a ton of Quality of Life updates, new HRE system with either centralised of decentralised reforms, new mission trees for pretty much all of Europe, new Pope actions for Catholicism, Hegemonies (Jay or Nay), balance changes, revolution reworks (now also out of Europe!), a completely new estate system and probably more.

I knew I was forgetting something. Out of all of those, only two have an independent system; the Revolution rework and Naval Combat. The Peasant War in HRE is linked to other HRE mechanics that have yet to be announced.

By "8 months" do you mean over a year?

With the addition of the claim throne CB can we open this up so the AI will use the heir feature?

Curious if non-christian nations will get the claim throne CB.

Well i don't see the point for muslims to have it, since all Islam branches give you 100% chance of new heir and they can't get PU on each other...

+100%, not 100%; but still, with no PU mechanism there would be no point.

I was going by when the first DD for this DLC's content began, but yeah sure map update's can count if you want.

First, i agree with using getadj. + caliphate for Unify Islam. Feudal Theocracy government is also a weird bonus as it replaces other strong governments (Ottoman government, Mamluk government, Indian sultanate etc.). Maybe directly give some Feudal Theocracy bonus as a permanent modifier instead?

Second, correct me if i am wrong, but Shia rejected the concept of Caliphate right? So if a Shia nation unify Islam they should get something else (e.g. some other name).

 

[holyvigil]

In the same vein as above is the caliphate government change optional? It'd be a little annoying as the timurids to have to unify Islam first then form Mughals.

The Fatimid Calipahte for example was a shia caliphate

It's 15.00 CEST.Can't wait to see what you will announce.

The Mughal Government is Tier 2, so you could have it & feudal theocracy

They rejected the legitimacy of the first three Caliphs, holding that Ali (the fourth Caliph) should have been Caliph from the start.

Huh well ok then. I'm good then.

 

[Oporto]

I see that somebody guessed right, when said that "Emperor" is the new name for DLC

 

[YetiBandito]

The announcement seems to be this for the moment:

 

[magriboy0750]

He had been accidentally leaked in one of the previous DD.

 

[Alfray Stryke]

Huh, surprise Hussites.
