Second week and a second dev diary! We will continue for this week as well to discuss new patch features and changes.

I'll start with some more quality of life changes we've done with the right-click menu to make interactions with various entities in the game even more smooth. For starters we've finally removed the capital letters in the tooltip to hint about how to now interact with characters, but that's not really a big deal. We have also extended the menu to now include actions such as plot to kill in this menu to make life a little bit easier.

But we didn't end there because we also felt that you should be able to interact more with holdings and titles so we added it to them as well, including a decision to switch what you want as your capital holding. Obviously the bishopric of Uppsala should be the capital of Sweden now that the capital holding type doesn't matter for government anymore.

There's also a thing that has been very difficult to do in Crusader Kings 2 is to get a visual overview of your realm and its hierarchy which is why we have merged the Independent Realms mapmode and Direct Vassals mapmode into one superior mapmode which combine the both plus some more. Let's have a look at the Holy Roman Empire and his realm.

To now see the breakdown of this realm you Ctrl+Left Click on a province on the map belonging to the Empire and it will break up in-front of you to show you what hides within. Showing you the various duchies and counts beneath the Emperor. Pretty standard to how the Direct Vassal mapmode works but you can isolate it to one realm at a time.

But let's say you want to look deeper into the hierarchy and break up the Kingdom of Bohemia to view what duchies and counties that it contains? You just click it again and this sub realm will also be broken apart to reveal the King's own direct vassals letting you examine your vassals vassals.

No no no no! What are you doing? You're completely removing the politically important archbishopric of Uppsala.

EDIT: Love that feature though.

Getting rid of that obnoxious RIGHT-CLICK TO INTERACT is really the best part of this diary for me. Not that the other stuff isn't nice too.

Wow. Awesome changes, especially that mapmode - I think I was asking for something like this since 1.0 :)

But... what are those new icons on character tab?

Edit: Ok, those are from last week, government type and Commander. I feel stupid now.
 
THANKS!! One question: How does changing the capital holding change the bonuses you should be getting to your armies / retinues? I think you stated previously that retinues should be getting the bonuses from your capital holding, but if that's changed to a Bishopric/Town, wouldn't that mean you get no bonuses whatsoever?

Can you change the government type and county capital of your vassals? For example if you have trier as a vassal can you force this away from being a prince bishopry and make it so that it's a normal feudal county?
 
That new mapmode is everything I've ever wanted. I love you.
