Victoria 2 - 3.04 BETA PATCH - Merry Christmas!

[Emp_Palpatine]

I hope the jacobin revolution thing will not create a load of ahistorical republics whereas the whole old continent stayed monarchical until the World Wars.

Late comment. ILU guys for giving Victoria some touch-ups (some of those were badly needed AI Navies and Call Ally in particular) Just going to be a bit of a quandary for those with a good mod setup who want the tweaks, lol.

EDIT: To be totally truthful I had always been holding out hope for a full expansion for WWI....there still is yet to be a good WWI strategy sim other than Darkest Hour I've seen. Love the World War mechanic, though, I might've already dismantled the British/Russian Empires with my Empire of Texas by the time I unlock that tech, (I usually aim for dreadnaughts first, XD)

Awesome, though since I'm playing with mods I won't touch the beta patch yet. Still awesome.

I learned that I've forgotten how to play Victoria 2.

• The Polar Bear Purchase will now turn all pops in iceland, greenland & jan mayen into polar bears.

WOW!!
Did the "assimilate = ?" exist before this beta?

Shame on you

 

[Groogy]

mm CTD every time.

Did you opt in to the beta branch on steam?

Never encountered it before personally.

Oh wise @Groogy can we hope for this command to be improved to work like much other in V2 code ?

Oh my god, this is, literally, the best Christmas present PDS could give. Now I love PDS 10x more than I did 10 minutes ago.


I love how Podcat speaks the truth - Vicky 2 is the best PDX game .

This is something somewhat-unofficial done during our spare time (possibly under the influence of alcohol) and at no point has QA or betas been involved in testing the changes. If it breaks something badly we'll fix it after christmas, but note that its an optional opt-in etc. (now go have fun!)

I'd be a bit more leery if this hadn't been done with some degree of alcohol influence. Congratulations, Paradox guys and have a wonderful holiday! (and alcohol).

assimilate was done as a full swap because % ones would need to do A LOT of complicated stuff we had no time to test and wasnt worth the effort for an easter egg

podcat is the hero we need to start developing Victoria 3.

Yeah that's what I thought. A shame but I guess it's better than nothing

Would it have been easier if it was a pop_scope thing?
Something like:

any_pop = {
     limit = {
            province_id = XXX
     }
     culture = polar_eagle
}

Shame I have discs and not steam.... (registered with steam, but that is not functional in these instances, unless someone with more tech know how can guide on it?)

 

[JakopDalunde]

As some of you might have noticed there have been rumors of a new patch for Victoria 2 (the best paradox game).

It really is the best Paradox game.

 

[MartinZaagstra]

Did you opt in to the beta branch on steam?

Yes I did. I started from steam and also as admin. Both times CTD...

 

[ruzen]

Thanks
DLC Incoming ???

Try do a clean install. Tell Steam to uninstall. delete the folders that steam forgets to delete and the documents folders and install again.

• Crisis with attacker backer and no defender backer now resolves automatically in favor of attacker rather than fizzling.

Goshdarnit never thought I'd see the day this got fixed.
