Hello, I noticed a rather gamebreaking bug that occurs when one is at war with a country and said country enters a civil war mid-war. If the rebelling faction wins, you're locked into a permanent war as the game doesn't properly switch the tag you're at war with over to the new country.

Happy to see some politics changes in here, I guess the current level of pushover IGs wasn't intended. I'd still like to see multiculturalism given the feminism treatment though.

 

[Wizzington]

ETA on fragmented pops fix?

It's in testing right now to ensure it doesn't break anything major. Can't give an ETA right now as it depends on the results of the testing.

 

[Gort11]

Is 1.0.4 out now?

Yeah

 

[Enney]

Are Rulers now more likely to not get over 90 years old?

 

[Kipsta]

Kinda small, doesn't touch most of the major bugs, won't bring me come back as of now. I'll wait for the first major patch before touching the game again, I think.

Yeah, whilst the patch is welcome I won't try another run until trade is fixed and the AI produces buildings / invests in its economy.

I think this is "hot off the presses" kinda thing that fixes the most damaging of the bugs like typos and CTDs, which are technical and easy to squash, but the more involved ones that require balancing and testing are waiting for their time.

That's cool although I hoped you will do SOMETHING about absolutely ridiculous world development: France always becoming GDP and population monster, russia always failing to develop even a little bit which makes France get twice the russian population in all games I played.

 

[JakopDalunde]

Thanks! The changes look great!

 

[Gort11]

Is Pondicherry supposed to be a French Treaty Port granting them access to the British market? Seems a bit weird.

 

[DerBremer]

What is with this ??? Nothing has changed after Patch

 

[Guillaume Henri Dufour]

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)

It's interesting how experiences can vary. In my last game as Korea, I was able to take provinces from Japan three times without resistance.

Had same Issue but with Mexico as USA i had to purposely lower my military.

 

[Fawr]

There are no changes to infrastructure in that list?

In my saved game suddenly a large number of my provinces (particularly the ones with trade buildings) had their market access smashed due to really large gaps between infrastructure used and infrastructure needed. The result on my people's prosperity increased the number of unhappy pops in Russia by a huge amount and made the game uncontinuable.

I'm going to have to roll back the patch

 

[Question]

Please remove the "war support cant drop below 0 if the nation has added war goals" mechanic or at least make it moddable :

Both Russia and the USA have been stuck in this war for over 10 years. The UI shows they are willing to white peace but they never actually offered it to each other (i support this is related to the other bug where acceptance chance doesnt update unless you hit the white peace button to re-calculate it). Neither sides are capable of taking each other's capital to allow war support to go below 0.

Also please fix nations with a truce joining a diplomatic play against you (which allows them to ignore the truce and go to war with you), naval units not recovering morale and the massive CPU spike when zooming into state view.

Did your railroads were employed.

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

Will the value of the gold reserves be capped for this?

Tiny states often never spend anything and then have huge gold reserves so that they never give up. Even if you don't have an army.

The pops probably got fired, you need to subsidize railways.
