The new version of the Open Beta is ready. 0.1.1 is only a bugfix/balance patch, so there are no major changes from the 0.1.0 version.
Changelog:
Old saves can probably be continued, but you should likely clear the graphics cache (~\Documents\Paradox Interactive\Crusader Kings II\Tianxia\gfx\flags) due to some de jure tweaks possibly messing up flags, and you should be aware that some issues will persist in old saves as not every issue can be fixed retroactively.
Changelog:

- Buddhists with relevant cultures can now be selected to join relevant DW societies at the start.

- People seeking to join the Underworld Triad will no longer be contacted by the Ghost Gatherers, as that would result in them getting ejected upon joining.
- Opportunities to recruit dragonslayers no longer results in your character forgetting all about continuing with their quest and simply sitting around until they're forced back home by the cleanup event.
- The "Power at a Price" event's follow-up events no longer fire on the same day and have been changed to narrative_events.
- Renaming of China should now loop properly when you create a pretender empire.
- People with negative personal combat skill will no longer "help" the Treasure Fleet fight in various events as that is counterproductive.
- WotRS sake and poetry contests are now held between members of the WotRS, not between a member of the WotRS and a member of any society.

- Fixed some localization referring to "All Realm Provinces" that should refer to a specific province.
- Made many localization strings shorter to make them fit inside the relevant event windows.

- Reduced the number of contractions used in localization to a more sensible amount.
- Vassals of Japanese Imperial rulers are now correctly forbidden from kingdom creation if there *isn't* a Permanent Regent, not when there *is* a Permanent Regent.
- Fixed an issue where the handover of the Sixteen Prefectures also resulted in land elsewhere being handed over.
- Chinese tributaries that fail to fight off China after refusing a generous offer to increase their tributary tier no longer get to avoid the tier increase by virtue of technically not being a tributary during the war.
- The WotRS mission to get a new student should now complete properly regardless of how it is achieved, and you should now know if it has been completed.
- It is now possible to complete the WotRS mission to construct a castle (was previously impossible).
Balance:
- Slightly reduced Mandate of Heaven bias towards Average
- All stats (but not stat-granting traits) are now worth equally much when calculating the MoH.
- The MoH reward now scales linearly when it comes to stats.
- The MoH reward from stats is now always positive (assuming at least one stat is non-zero).
- Various Iron Century pretender empires have been changed to start with more vassal-friendly laws (those with Average or better MoH will still be fairly restrictive).
- Chinese Imperial emperors now value special CBs to (re)conquer China more highly.
- Pretender emperors no longer think that tributaries are awesome.
- The EoC is now less interested in tributary wars if there's a pretender emperor holding land in China.
- The Tenno no longer cares for tributaries (given the lack of other CBs he tended to spam them previously).
- Added a small impassable mountain range in northern China, which should keep a settling Liao from going after Dingnan/Xia without first heading south.
- Mercs should no longer get tons of influence or currency in the WotRS.
- Being Japanese Imperial now gives you the same boost to WotRS influence as you'd get from Japanese Feudal.
- AI Ryukyuan/Reformed Ryukyuans are now a bit more reluctant to join the WotRS.
- Lowered random Wako culture spread rate significantly.
- Chinese Imperial and Confucian Bureaucracy rulers can now appoint their heir to any council position and/or as their Designated Regent regardless of said heir's stats.
- The Permanent Regent will no longer step aside if you ask nicely and they're fully empowered.
- The Permanent Regent is now much less eager to step aside if you ask nicely and they've been given additional powers.
- The Permanent Regent is now much less eager to step aside if you ask nicely and the Regency Loyalists are powerful.
- The Permanent Regent is now less eager to step aside if they've got a Regency bloodline.
- Being friends/lovers or otherwise close to the Permanent Regent is no longer guaranteed to make them step aside if they have certain traits (but it still helps a lot).
- Proselytizing in foreign realms and sponsoring of Mass Conversions is now blocked for the governments that don't care about religion (Chinese Imperial, Confucian Bureaucracy, Japanese Imperial, Japanese Feudal).
- Shinto rulers can now proselytize in foreign realms and sponsor Mass Conversions if they do not have any of the governments listed above and would be eligible under normal rules.
- Made plenty of combat_rating-related checks a bit easier.
- Made the WotRS bloodline quest more likely to fire.
- Students are now more likely to get a PCS increase in several events that can fire during WotRS mentoring.
- The duchy of Chaiya is now de jure part of the Kingdom of Malaya (and thus also the Empire of Nusantara).
- The province of Kawthaung now extends a bit further south.
Misc:
- Commented out various achievement-related on_actions since you can't get achievements and they thus are a waste of performance.
