Hello everyone! Today is the final development diary before the release of Rights of Man! Which is next week! Actually, its next tuesday even! At 15.00 CET if all goes well.. 1.18 “Prussia” will go live on the steam-servers and you’ll be able to purchase Rights of Man.
So, to wrap up the teasers for this update, we’ll start with yet ANOTHER addition to a previous expansion. In El Dorado, we added advisor portraits for South Americans. Back in those days, advisors were all males.. Now though, we have added a set of female advisors to the South American graphical culture!

In our effort to make the games more user-friendly, or as some say, super-casual, we have now reduced the amount of clicks you need to continue a savegame. Now there is a nice “Continue” button in the launcher, that launchers your latest played game without stopping for a decision in the frontend.

And for those of you who play Hearts of Iron IV, you’ll be aware about the possibility for the game to automatically upload crashdumps to our servers, whenever you start the game after it had crashed before. Of course, this is all voluntary.
1.18 and Rights of Man adds 20 new achievements as well, for those of you that love hunting them.
- We bled for this - Win a war with at least 1M dead on both sides.
- Pick Your Poison - As Kaffa, develop in Cafa while a subject of yours owns it..

We have tweaked quite alot of national ideas in 1.18, adding new modifiers to them, giving a new fresh feeling. This includes movement speed of armies, fire damage, institution spread and more, and as usual, some countries got new unique national ideas, including Malwa, Pattani, Kaffa, Corfu, Lorraine and Wurzburg.
Here is a quick look at the national ideas of Malwa.
Traditions: +3 Tolerance of Heathen and -10% Infantry Cost.
[LIST=1]
