Declared Interests possible.
- Fix issue where Investment Pool could be used for disallowed building types

wrong value
- Political movements can now start organizing a revolution at 50 radicalism rather than 100
(100 is needed for the revolution to actually begin though)

[Ferrous Will]

Oh my, this is most appreciated

 

[MrNewVegas]

These seem like positive changes, keep up the good work! The Intelligensia change is nice, but without a colonisation rebalance it still makes holding land directly with the right colony law far outstrip anything you'd ever get from a puppet. Give some kind of bonus to puppet-immigration also? I mean, puppets are still mostly completely useless, but that might be a nice change.

When can we expect some perfomance optimization, game is very laggy and almost unplayable later in the game, even opening some tabs like population or government fps goes down to 10-15, not to mention that at certain zoom level fps drop is around 80%.?

 

[Acaios]

- Reduced effect of guaranteed liberties on loyalists and radicals growth

I really don't understand the need of this.
Population already is too susceptible even to very small SoL changes. And this is especially true when you have very high SoL and even a small price variation can have an important impact.

What's the point of having >20 SoL when just opening a new trade route may momentary drop it to 19.5 and literally cause millions of radicals?

 

[Soranya]

- AI is now a bit less likely to back down in diplomatic plays

I had the feeling the AI basically never backs down unless severly outmatched (10:1 or more)
So I am somewhat supprised by that change.

A Statement on the Plans for the Trade loophole would be appreciated! (Some other stuff too, but this mostly)

 

[wintermute1984]

What do these two fixes mean in laymen terms?

- Fix CTD in NPdxParticle2Internal::SParticlePool::GetActive
- Fix CTD in CJominiSplineNetworkGraphics::GetStripLengthInternal

 

[Gort11]

What do these two fixes mean in laymen terms?

Those are two particular bits of code that cause crashes to desktop. Now they don't.

 

[Assur]

Great, those are good changes. And fixing the typos in the defines is most appreciated.

 

[Axe99]

Many thanks for all the hard work that's going into the patch

Same here. A cycle of endless, unwinnable wars that keep occurring because AI doesn't read "uncertain" and "fearful" as a need to back down from a war over a border province where they lose millions of £ in the process.

 

[Morrowind3]

What do these two fixes mean in laymen terms?

Those are methods in the code. A CTD that can happen when these methods are called has been fixed.
First sounds like something about reading the particles you see on the map, second is also a graphic thing regarding whatever network graphics and strip length is.

All it means it some crashes related to graphics have been fixed

 

[famaouz]

Mind giving a rough date of where this will come out? Yes, I'm being impatient lol

 

[Anbeeld]

ETA on fragmented pops fix?

 

[Miguelinileugim]

Babe wake up Victoria 3 update just dropped

 

[ruhrbaron]

Nice fixes but please also fix the (pop interest group clout) overflow bug. It ruined my Germany and China games. My intelligentsia and industrialists got so rich their clout and influence flowed over

 

[Zusuper]

AI is now a lot more focused on taking land-adjacent states and conquering contiguous land
areas in general

I hope I don’t get attacked as small British protectorate (Trucial States) in the Near East

 

[Miguelinileugim]

>Fixed typos in several defines

This has the same energy as "removed all references to the king in our new constitution".

 

[johnty5]

Is 1.0.4 out now?

 

[belechannas]

Previously the revenue predictions had very pessimistic labor cost estimates.

Now the added labor costs are just ignored...
