The realm rejoices as Paradox Interactive announces the launch of Crusader Kings III, the latest entry in the publisher’s grand strategy role-playing game franchise. Advisors may now jockey for positions of influence and adversaries should save their schemes for another day, because on this day Crusader Kings III can be purchased on Steam, the Paradox Store, and other major online retailers.
There is non-zero progress since December, hopefully another beta soon. But I have to admit that seeing how few people remain has made me rethink how much time I was planning to spend on FTG.Is the final patch (I mean that one which had a popular voting thread) still being developed? How is it going, @MichaelM ?
I don't really want to impose or pressure anybody, I know that you are the only developer left so it must be a tough work. Just asking though![]()

Another fan that waited patiently for the beta and hoping for still more to come. Thank you for all that you're doing to keep improving what I consider the best strategy game ever.There is non-zero progress since December, hopefully another beta soon.

That's how they appear in my version of the monarchs file. The Turkish monarchs haven't changed in a very long time. If FTG changed them at all, it happened before we began using source control for the game files, long before release.In my current game as England using the 2017 1.3 beta patch I noticed that the name of the ottoman Sultan is
Meh.med
and when then looking up the turkish monarch file ALL Mehmed´s are Meh.med, Mah.mud, Abdül-H.amîd and even Ahmed is Ah.med and the best I saw is Mus.t.afâ I having two points in his name.
Is that the result of some weird search&replace bug?
The last change of the file is listed as
"Sonntag, 20. September 2009, 23:33:58" in the files settings
Edit: I took a look at the 2017 patches zipped files and that did not contain the file monarchs_tur.txt at all and the 2013 Decembre, 29th patch did not either. So either the ottoman monarchs are pointy for a longer time already or I somehow screwed up my games installation.
You´re right. I just checked the files of my old EU2 1.09 installation and there the turkish/ottoman monarchs are beset by points already too. Do those points have any useful meaning? Are they supposed to appear within the game in the names? And why do only the turkish/ottomans have those? KARamans Mustafa or Mahmud do not have points in their names.That's how they appear in my version of the monarchs file. The Turkish monarchs haven't changed in a very long time.

If that is a thing in english then whyHere's a complete conjecture: When transliterating from Arabic (not Turkish, but maybe it's the same?) to English, one of the traditions/rules/whatever is to write an h with a dot underneath to represent a sound that's similar, but not identical, to the English h. Maybe it's that same sound (and letter, because Ottoman Turkish used the Arabic script)?
EDIT: Example from the wiki article on Mehmed II
محمد , Meḥmed
The letter in question is the second one from the right
I can only answer the third question: The same dot is also used to represent the letter ط (below the t) which whose relation with the sound of t is similar to that of ḥ and hIf that is a thing in english then why
- is that . between characters and not part of the character as a special sign like in your WIKI example or an accent like á?
- is that only for the ottoman turkish the case but not for the other turkish beyliks e.g. Karaman?
- is that not only for the h but in case of Mustafa for the t as in Mus.t.afâ?
- if that really is, like the WIKI article says, the way the ottoman turkish name would be written then why do we use it? I thought FtG uses only latin alphabets?
