In this and some related thread, I see the phrase 'patch', but its not a patch, is it?
These changes are coming in the "Common Sense" expansion, yes?

As a Steam user (and yes, we all are now) I was concerned that a large number of mechanics would again be significantly - and irreversibly - changed in a 'patch'. Much as I can only play the DW version of EU III. But the changes described are all a part of the "Common Sense" expansion software for EU IV, which can be used at the discretion of the player.

Which is a great relief, because it is quite obvious that previous saved games would be incompatible.

Elsewhere, I am curious how the AI behaves under these new mechanics. Do you find that there are AI countries developing their provinces, while other AI countries are expanding militarily, or would this be a function of the AI ruler types (warlike/peaceful/administrator/balanced)?

There was no competitive PM today because a bunch of people were away.

We resume our regularly scheduled backstabbing next week.

You can always play an older version via the Steam-Beta Option, if you want to.

Papa Nohan! So cute...

I imagine that one of these days Johan will teach his daughter to use a lightsaber as well as he does.

Like all the expansions there will be a large patch associated with it, that will change a bunch of game features for free. They've already said that it will break save games, and that means even if you don't have the DLC your save games will be broken (this is inevitable because of map changes). But as someone pointed out, you can use steam to roll back to a previous patch, if you are so inclined.
