One last patch to increase the game's modability plus bug fixes. COMMUNITY IDEAS & REQUESTS!

[manager2525]

As the title states and since no further development is to be expected, we would really appreciate a final patch that would increase the game's modability and would also address some minor bug issues.

I understand that it is unlikely to happen but still it would be very welcomed if it did!

@PDX_Pariah @Arheo @Snow Crystal maybe you can help with this?

Thank you in advance!

Edit: Also to the fellow forumites, please note any bugs or modding issue that you would like to be addressed, as some have already kindly done!!!

Edit 2:
I will try sum up all possible issues ideas presented in the posts below
--------------------------------------------------------
Fixes list:
- Map editor (not working)
- Portrait editor (not working)
- Give triggers conditions to units for legions and levies
- Remove the 2090 tag limit
- Moddable tribal successions and monarchies
- Ability to create looting armies
- Fix achievements that aren't working (Great destroyer, Cincinnatus, Alea Jacta Est)
- Rework trade automation (many routs remain unused in larger empires)
- Fix Macs crash after 8258 territories (also for Big Sur and Monterey)
- Fix power base dilution and tiny civil wars (for larger empires)
- Moddable AI diplomatic behaviour (opinion modifiers, tendency to seek alliances etc)
- Diplomatic range according to distance between boarders and not distance between capital cities
- Modding subject types, line saying "has_limited_diplomacy = yes" does not change functionality if changed to = no
- Allow assimilation and integration to be modded (possibility of scripting)

It would be nice but, I don't really believe in it. I think they could put a person who works on the game to do that.

FIxing modding stuff will really help the game.

Map editor is not working, portrait editor is not working, you cant give triggers conditions to units for legions and levies. THat's the biggest problems the game currently has along with other major bs that existed since 1.4 (like GUI editor) And I wish some of the devs could spend a week or two to fix these problems and leave the game, like Paradox want. This game has a lot of potential and it's a good game now, but bugs give a bad taste in the mouth. We need this last update.

only one person needs to be on the game. At least they can do that.

What would be cool would be:
-remove the 2090 tag limit which crashes the game when the limit is reached. currently it prevents having a world where countries are destroyed by revolts and allows the maintenance of large blocks.
-Allow to modder the tribal successions and monarchies.
-Be able to create looting armies as for CK2 and CK2. Obviously that's not possible right now.

If you have any other idea

You forgot :
- Fix achievements that aren't working : Great destroyer, Cincinnatus, Alea Jacta Est, Soldier of Fortune and Brennus' Revenge.

So far the only thing that comes in my mind is that weird Cyan shader that's put on Textured Emblems. This thing HAS to be removed, period.

Oh yes, I had forgotten about this problem.

great destroyer is the only thing that doesnt work

i have the other achievements

I think that also Cincinnatus & Alea Jacta Est don't work in 2.0 and if have not achieved them then you need to revert to the previous version to get them. Maybe this goes for the rest mentioned.

 

[BloodAsp]

Whole trade automation thing....
Most trade routes are empty in larger empires

That the thing, why should i revert to do achievements. That's sad...

 

[olivenkranz]

Macs crash after 8258 territories (Catalina), Big Sur and Monterey even before that.

 

[lucaluca]

Fix: power base dilution and tiny civil wars.

For medium and large countries, civil wars are broken: they spawn extremely small rebels and they provide huge bonuses once ended, so they are actually a thing to want to have.

 

[ryan404000]

It'd be great, give one last bug fix, and open up more modding to the game so at least it can continue in some fashion for those of us who want to play it.

10 years ago it would happen. But no chance now, corporate is going to corporate.

Indeed there is little profit from putting any more work on Imperator due to its current status.
Anyhow i still hope that they do one last thing for the people that are still enjoying game!

 

[Bleek]

Please

Perhaps. I think of it this way, the goodwill that would come from it, the almost unique way to treat your game and customers would down the road lead to more grateful customers, and more sales. Perhaps not by much, or perhaps not at all, but the good pr certainly must be worth something. But then again they not the same paradox so I doubt they care at all about optics.

 

[King Size]

Paradox is a listed company on the stock exchange. They are going the same way as most other developers and publishers which is not caring about the high quality of the product, but mass consumption to satisfy their investors. That's how people keep their job at the company. It would surprise me if they would put effort and a loss into improving a gaming which only has a small fan base at this point. To defend Paradox they generally provide a good product after a few updates and DLC's (which are just updates that you pay for). Imperator is one of the best games in my opinion, but the reputation has been tarnished so badly that investing more time and effort into it is probably a bigger loss maker than improving their older and more popular titles. It's not really about passion or craftsmanship anymore like in the beginning with Paradox, now you can feel that the bottom line matters more and I don't blame Paradox for that, because they aren't a charity organisation.

 

[Quget]

We can only hope there is a developer that see much potential in this game as us and try to talk to their higherups.
It just needs more work and love. Is there enough love left in Paradox for this game?

Or did CK3, EU4, Stellaris and Victoria 3 consume it all
