Last week: "we dont release patches on Fridays, why would we! There could be problems".

Releases Patch on Friday the very next week.

This patch needed another week at least, it's still kind of a mess imo.

Releases Patch on Friday the very next week.

This patch has been tested before release and has a far better chance of surviving the weekend.

What do you think is a mess in this patch? How much have you actually played it since it was released today?

This is more or less the definition of Canadian English, so use a Canadian flag for the next patch. :-D
Idea: use a random flag from among all majority English-speaking countries. Heaven knows New Zealand could do with an ego boost.

(aside: somewhat annoyed by the change, feels like yet another instance of Americans taking all the credit for winning the war. I know Paradox is Swedish, but that's how it feels.)

I think the AI is worse in some ways than before the patch. I played the patch twice yesterday and seriously doubt that 12 hours later much has been added that changes the chaos to order. Suicidal and weak amphibious invasions, endless naval battles, most Ai's (like Germany's) air force use/movement is almost non existent, Ai does not build larger airbases or infrastructure, Ai still using very bad templates.

AI work is a constant process. The patch could be delayed two days, two weeks or two months and there would still be room for improvement. I understand that you are frustrated, but I don't see how delaying it another week is going to help. A lot of people want to play it this weekend and have been waiting for it.

It would be nice if Paradox could release weekly updates, but as we have seen with the beta patch this week it needs to be tested and then people would complain even more.

No nation can claim a combined-patent on their national standard and the language they speak, most people recognize the language intended when seeing a national standard as a choice in a games setting, does it really matter which national standard is used, I for one didn't blink an eye or gutter utter a remark, I just clicked on the flag so I could understand the language in the game.

Imagine having to pay a country royalties every time you used a word they had a patent on.

The only exception here would be for the people of Hungarian descent; the Hungarian to U.K. English phrasebook would create undo harm and injustice to them if used in America. That's why the Hungarian people have two English phrasebooks, one for the U.K and one for the U.S.A.

For instance: When a Hungarian wants directions to the train station he must use the phrase "I want to touch your buttocks" for the proper direction. In the USA he would be directed to the hospital first before boarding the train.

Points for the Python reference.

I would highly doubt that more frequent updates or more detailed dev diaries would make people complain more. And I think people enjoy testing the patches for Paradox.

@podcat

I just started up the game with the new patch, I didn't have time to play the beta because of modding, and found a bug in the launcher. You used the wrong flag, for English. I am not talking about using the American flag vs. the English flag. You used a old U.S. flag from when the U.S. only had 48 states.


50 Stars:

48 Stars:

See the difference in the layout of the stars?

It would be like using this flag for British English:

There isn't a "wrong flag" between the 48- and 50-star variants: according to the US Flag Acts, designs are added but none ever expire. The 48-star flag is as much a symbol of the current 50 US states as the 50-star flag is.

Noticed a bug trying to start a new game, when playing in windowed or borderless mode at 2560x1440 you can't toggle ironman mode or historical ai focuses but custom difficulty works. Switching to full screen or 1920x1080 fixes it.

Please add advisers for the new releasables! Was hard trying to take over China with Ho Chi when I couldn't pick any High Command staff or Chief of Army! Not to mention, please set these nations to use their respective flavor languages. No more Cambodian General Bob Smith and Ukrainian Commander James Smith.
