The 1.2 patch, a little bit on contents

War score issue

I beleive there is a limit to what battles can do to effect the warscore.

Thats ok, but in my case those magnificent victories did not win me any war scores at all. This is definetly a bug, that should be taken care of.

and had a "Kaiser" (Emperor?) as head of the state, not a simple "king"/"König".

Kaiser is a german word derived from the latin title Caesar. Same thing as Tsar/Czar.

So, Julius Caesar wasn't exactly a Emperor (he was a Dictator, but Dictator to romans is different from our concept of dictator), but not everyone is perfect with latim... so most cultures adopted Caesar as some kind of Emperor or Greatest Leader.

The word Emperor comes from Imperator. The true cognomen that was unique to the Emperor (imperator was also used to high grade burocrats during the Roman Republic) was Augustus.

:wacko:

Don't mind me, I'm just a law student with a hard on for roman law.

PS: Sorry my bad english, I'm brazilian.

Your English isn't bad, fellow countryman

As for "emperor", you are mostly right; Julius Caesar himself isn't called an "emperor" though, only Augustus and his successors. During the Roman Empire, "Caesar" had become a title within the empire itself, and eventually the title spread elsewhere. It is not uncommon usage to call the German emperor a "kaiser" in English, although such usage is weird in that the Austrian emperor is not called a kaiser as well; anyhow, given that we have already "emperor" in English, I don't see the need to differentiate it from "kaiser".

Well, the Austrians call their emperor "Kaiser".

And let that be the end of this offtopic discussion. You may continue it in the OT forum, where it belongs. Thank you.

So the patch is STILL not out? Ive been waiting for weeks now.. Pretty much stopped playing since i'd rather have an official update than get used to mods which later become either obsolete or incompatible as the official changes are rolled out..

The game wasn't even released a fortnight ago. Most of the dev team was on the Gamescom "fair" for nearly a week. It's holiday time.

Honestly, what do you expect? And, of course, you also don't want the patch to be rushed, and riddled with other problems, am I correct?

The patch will be out when it's done. There has been no hint as to when it'll be released.

A week and 6 days, at most.

If the CSA annexes the USA, they're given an event to form the USA. As the AI, the CSA will always form the USA, completely and utterly ruining the point of the civil war in the first place. Also, when the CSA are played as the AI, they abolish slavery as soon as possible. Can Paradox fix both of these bugs?

 

[Korsan82]

What I'd like to see in all Paradox games is:

- when I send an army into a foreign country which i am not at war with I'd like to have a pop up window asking me if I want to go to war with them.

- when i build a factory, I want to right click on a province and select "build xx factory", "build fortification" or whatever. I want a menu with all options listed without having to access the according pages

- when I build armies I want to set up a rally point where my new soldiers group. I don'T want to pick up every regiment on the map on my own (same for fleets)

in other words: make this baby more accessible and simple to use!

 

[Alerias]

The patch will be done when its done, which will have to be at most by September 3rd, because my vacations begin that day and I need it by then at most. :rofl:

Well, easy to understand it seemed like weeks for some, so...

To whom the quoted post refered to: Try mods - a lot better than waiting...

Guess i've just been spoiled by other devs

The value of a captured capital needs to be vastly increased. In this timeframe, capturing someone's capital ended the war with massive humiliation.

After all, Paris falling was the trigger that unlocked the decision "Deutchland Uber Alles" for the Prussians.

Not vastly, some but definetly not vastly thats to easy to exploit.

Mine starts at november, so my odds are better

Could someone post a summary of what´s most important to fix in the game? By the postings it appears it´s the rebel problem that´s the most game breaking, but what else could be improved?

Be patient. We're still waiting for Heir to the Throne's first official patch and that came out back in...let me check...in December of last year.

 

[Keder]

I want to ask for moving right into popfiles some parameters like consciousness reduction, literacy increasing and parameters from defines.lua that refer to pops, if it is possible. It will be great for modders, because it allows to configure those parameters for pops individually.

 

[Vaximillian]

This. Optinally, let's have a 'Dismiss Leader' button and a 'Dismiss leader' (you get it, right?) button, the later giving a small boost to the next leader coming up, but increasing overall officers´ militancy...

Indeed, that'd be better.

 

[SchwarzKatze]

If a country gain provinces in a state they partly own via protectorate or colonization, the whole state will be reduced to a colonial state, hopefully this would be fixed in 1.2

Given that France only acquired this territory in 1898, it's not in for the same reason that Hong Kong isn't British at the start.

The problem is that there are the provinces of Weihaiwei, Kiauchow, Dairen but no Kwangchowwan province. France can't get any territory in China in 1898.
