Patch 2.0 Change Log

[Me_]

So now that the Hordes spawn more smaller regiments rather than 4 doomstacks, will the AI not just merge them and crush everything anyway?

I had the same thought. If the AI is really improved, then multiple smallers stacks is actually worse than few big ones. For the ones being attacked, that is.

Yeah, especially for the 1066 bookmark, Elective is the best choice. Really we need a law that combines elements of Feudal Elective and Tanistry. Priority to adult dynasty memebers but allows powerful vassals to take the throne with lack of a suitable heir.

That would be nice. While we're at it, I'd also like a pony.

I'd also like to see, though this is pure wishful thinking, a sort of historical dynasty mechanic, which remembers the main ruling dynasty. It would mean until they were truly replaced, that dynasty would still have a very good chance of regaining the throne. Sort of like how the House of Wessex was restored under Edward and it would also give a more likely chance that Edgar would be voted in over a son of Harold.

AGOT's dynastic claim system was meant to model this, but I've never really been able to get it off the ground. The main problems were that A., dynastic claims had to be title-specific, so I was limited in how many titles could have one, and B., it was difficult figuring out exactly when to replace an old ruling dynasty with a new one.

Gigantic patch !
Thanks a lot Doomdark. Looking forward to see how it plays out.
Also impressive AI changes, though a user of EU4 told me that it caused a lot of issues in EU4 regarding events and decisions, especially for mods. Do i need to worry ?
Hope not.

A bit sad that such an important issue like pilgrimages for christians are not included in the patch.
Quite disappointed actually, but well i hope the DLC is rather LoR-cheap-like, as you (or someone equally) once mentioned.
Looks very promising.

Thanks to you and all the coders.

Perhaps after you've controlled the title for a fixed amount of time, like 100 years? Same thing for having a kingdom being taken away from a de jure empire and the n having it migrated into another de jure empire...

A .mod file will have the same structure for Workshop as EU4? I mean "picture = pic.jpg"

Live fire exercices very rarely use live rounds fire towards soldiers. Most of the time the soldiers are firing live rounds at targets. Though, it has happened that live rounds were used to scare soldiers into training harder.

Getting a little off topic here. It was just a simile. Besides, soldiers die on exercise with no fire at all, and as wezqu said if you've made a mistake you could find yourself in the wrong place and be in danger.

They don't spawn smaller stacks, they spawn the same stacks structured into more regiments. So they can rebalance their army if a flank gets wiped out, for instance. For the Hordes this probably won't change much, but it means that the mercenaries and orders will be able to be fielded as independant armies without penalty.

 

[NihilCredo]

Overall the patch looks excellent, but one thing is puzzling me:


Since the new MAX_THEOCRACY_COUNTIES_IN_REALM limit already effectively nerfs/kills the all-bishop-vassals exploit, what is the reason for totally disallowing non-theocracies from creating duke-level theocratic vassals? When they are only an exception within larger kingdoms and not the rule, they're not particularly abusive and they're quite flavourful (personally I like to put them in charge of holy sites, for example).

 

[CrazyHeadGamer]

wow that's one heel of a patch ! great work paradox !

I wish you tweaked the annoying liege revoking your title if you are a count in the capital of its duchy.

 

[Gnostiko]

So the ban on interfaith marriages stays?

+1
Surely this is being looked into, at least?

 

[PrinceCola]

Wow this is really an impressive patch!



I had the same reaction :laugh:

Hehe, it's all over the internet lol...the gif fits for everything!

 

[Urzhail64]

I would like to see more possiblities for usurpation/mischief if your character is ever named regent for a under-age liege. Right now, regents have very little real power (very unlike RL..I only need to point to Isabella and Roger Mortimer as to what happens during a child king's minority !) Or heck, even Richard of Gloucester (later Richard III)

 

[Chevaresqye]

- Non-theocracy lieges are now only allowed to create single county or barony temple vassals (bishoprics)
- Non-theocracy lieges can no longer create neighboring county tier bishops

Please tell me this is moddable. Stop making this kind of ahistorical restriction please.

That's much more sane than I what I was thinking of. (I blame a lack of sleep)

 

[Urzhail64]

"- When marrying betrothed characters, the AI will now always propose the type of marriage agreed upon in the betrothral"

YES!!

No more accidental matrilineal marriages! ^_^

About time !

That's what I meant. I guess I worded it wrong. Smaller regiments = more flexible armies = better armies.

Both of those would actually make really good regency events. The first for if you are the child King, overthrowing your regent because he disposed for your dad and hooked up with your mum and the Second if you are the regent of a young relative.

 

[Tarnor]

Did I overlook it or is the West African Pagan attrition bug still in?

Yeah....except you could be the child king and have a game over because some random noble became regent and decided to usurp the crown would be no fun. I think that's why Paradox avoided regent usurpations in the first place...

I didn't mention random noble, it was in response to the Richard III bit, where your regent is a dynasty member so you would continue playing as him.
