New 4.1 Beta - 15th of April

[Johan]

Posted in the tech support.

a) Fixing mod compability.. I've tested MEIOU, and it ran for me now.

b) Strengthening of HRE integrity.

c) Improved interface for multiplayer.

d) Badboy limit is now a bit harsher, as it was pretty much irrelevant to be below it or not in a competetive game. (Hi Brother Bean & Doomdark)

nice one johan, will the patch work for our current Sunday Tsunami game?

I actually tested that savegame to make sure it was compatible.

I am truly grateful!

multiprovince annexation and +0.25BB -1%prestige /year for non-core HRE provinces !!!

I see the point when slowing down the player, but the AI can't handle it. In my current game, they go overboard with annexations - which in itself makes their BB skyrocket, but with the new malus, they hardly get a BB bonus and tend to inflate and burst. It's not blobs anymore. It's balloons.

An AI that takes BB into account when settling peace deals would be nice.

This is what HTTT needs most of all.
The balooning thing has been happening ever since the expansion was launched. Apart from that I think the game is getting better with every patch though

- Now possible to annex countries of greater size than 1. If you can vassalize them, you can annex them as well, but you always need to occupy their whole territory.

Got a question about the new reworked "sow disconent" spy action.

Does the revolt risk stack up as you select to use this spy action against the same country consecutively and make the stability costs even higher OR is it just a one year deal with fixed value until that year has lapsed?

 

[Michaeru]

Unlawful Imperial Territory is a swift kick in the balls when playing as a HRE member. It makes it pretty much unfeasible to hold more than one non-cored HRE province at any time, since you always have to brace for these damn DIP 3 rulers. I guess this is working as designed, though. What I don't see anyone doing with this in place is forming Germany as you have to conquer, own and core nine provinces one at a time taking 450 years (unless you luck out and get a lucky core in a 422 year game (and even then, you'd just be a patchwork of cities all over the place calling itself Germany). Defending the HRE might become a little more difficult now as you can't expand on the expense of your member states, probably also WAD.

The punisher events are okay. Infamy drives up stability costs as is, so adding random hits really puts the "mean" in "mean time to happen". WE and MP losses on the other hand look like they could be compensated for.

 

[Foogsie]

I believe the HRE infamy modifier only applies to members of the HRE. So if you wish to form Germany, you could probably leave the Empire when you feel confident you could fight the Emperor.

 

[Cayafas]

Or expand outside the HRE to gain more power initially. Like prussia actually did

 

[Najs]

It seems that some of these patches come to reality solely because someone in Paradox got their asses handed to them by another employee in MP...

I'll have to try it though, since it doesn't mess up save games.

 

[TheCheeseMaster]

when i click the link to download botton it comes up with the option to finda program to open it, or to saveit. What do i do to get it into the game files?

I have got 7-zip which is a file manager

thanks

 

[Vagn]

You need to save it to the folder where you have installed EU3, then use 7-zip to extract the files from the rar file into the folder.

 

[Plow565]

Can anyone answer my question?

What is imperial integrity and how was it strengthened

 

[jdrou]

The 'HRE integrity' means the HRE's existence as a large number of relatively small states. The new HRE rules in HttT had caused HRE states to start annexing each other left and right, especially the Emperor. Hopefully the changes in this patch will cut down on that so the Empire states can focus on defending themselves from external threats like France.

Couldn't agree more, Lawleit
