We will not be collecting any bug reports in this forum, so please report any issues you experience with the patch in our bug report forum! As usual, we recommend that you finish any ongoing saves in the current version of the game (1.24.1). Instructions on how to use another version of the game can be found here! There are no known issues continuing 1.24.1 saves in 1.25, but there are no guarantees it will be problem free. ############################################################## ######################## 1.25 England ######################## ############################################################## - Added map changes to The British Isles, France and Low Countries - Added New National Ideas to British Isles and Low Countries - Lobby/Start Screen: Added news banner (shown first time game is started after an update with new news content). - Reworked how gold is demanded in peace offers: 5 war score now equal one loan size of target, and maximum WS on gold is 25. - Missions System has been completely reworked, displaying all available missions for a nation in a dedicated tab - Diversified SFX for Papacy-style interfaces. - 10 Achievements added ################### # Gamebalance ################### # Economy - Reduced most permanent sources of land maintenance cost reduction. - Increased tech effect on land maintenance from 0.01 to 0.02 - Reduced amount of production and trade efficiency gained from tech # Governments - Tenures Abolition Policy no longer useless for Celestial Empires # Religion - you no longer break alliance or support liberty relations when changing the religion. # Units - It is no longer possible to Conform to template Condottieri (or pending Condottieri). # War & Peace - At most 25 war score can be demanded as gold in peace. - War Score cost for Transfer Trade Power reduced to 30% - Tributary overlord is not called into independence wars between a tributary and his subject. Sukhothai rejoice! - Support independence is no longer canceled after one month if the overlord of the subject is a tributary. # Other - To set Player attitude to Friendly towards a country now requires said country to have 50 opinion of player. ################### # AI ################### # Diplomacy - AI slightly more weights in neighbors that might declare on them in prewar power calculations. - AI will now consider giving provinces to subject in peace even if they have vital interest on them. - Made getting Friendly attitude from AI directly depend on opinion to a degree; this is an attempt to fix the bug that for unknown reasons made it very rare. - AI overlord cancelling Tributary relation or being cancelled by overlord will have -1000 towards acceptance for the duration of the opinion modifier. - Added explicit check to forbid AI from canceling Transfer trade power or Trade steering when an agreement to their benefit is in force, and they are not preparing war. - Fixed ruler personality induced war declaration disclosures and added this to Babbling Buffoon and Malevolent personalities as well. - Fixed AI acceptance modding for custom diplomatic actions. # Economy - AI will now use Statute in Restraint of Appeals decision under limited circumstances. AI with this decision active will never reject Anglicanism. - AI is now aware of more types of diplomatic expenses when performing budget calculations, hence less likely to underestimate budget. - Free Thinker and Scholar personality rulers are more likely to Knowledge share. - An AI country maxed out on tech will no longer try to advance to higher tech (this was reducing late game performance and preventing it from e.g. developing provinces instead). - AI is now more keen to repair unmothballed ships during peace if they have no loans. - AI is now able to decrease tariffs (again?) - Fixed AI increase in budget when rich, so it will spend more on army and navy if being very rich. - AI is now much more likely to build force limit buildings. - AI now deprioritizes building force limit/manpower/sailor buildings until they have built some economic buildings. - AI can now destroy buildings to build better ones if out of building slots when they are rich. # War - Mostly undid "AI prefers to siege with 1 or 2 regs above minimum of limit" change unless fort level is one. It caused other issues currently too complex for AI to deal with. - Capped number of days in a row an AI army will skip processing for during peace to 15 to avoid unresponsiveness when preparing war. - Fixed AI massing on borders before declaring war (for immersion), if there isn't too high threat nearby. - Trimmed down number of independent AI armies for countries with many regiments as this was being a performance drain. - Tweaked non-tributary subjects declaring wars (colonial nations) to require a greater advantage, as to create fewer "overlord must rescue them" situations. - Fixed issue where AI wouldn't merge many small transport fleets due to waiting for an admiral assignment it wouldn't decide to make anyway. - AI made more likely to choose fort provinces as fleet bases to avoid easy capture. - Added guard against AI launching doom stacking invasions into one province islands that already have enough troops (this works for any friendly units already arrived). - AI will no longer use armies to explore when there are threats nearby said army. - AI can now split their transport fleet when they feel safe about doing so and army to be transported is smaller than fleet. - Fixed case where army would refuse to board transport because target location is held by enemy controller (really old code not making sense). - Fixed exploration nations' AI splitting up most or all of their armies into 5k stacks due to reassigning conquistador. - AI should be slightly more proactive against transports landing troops on their home shores. - Fixed AI warship building; it can now build 5-10 times as large war fleets under favorable circumstances. - AI now keeps a home fleet consisting of warships that's not allowed to stray far from their home coast. - Revised number of admirals the AI recruits. - AI no longer unassigns admiral from fleet as soon as it leaves port to another fleet in port. - AI considers maneuver more important than before when estimating navy power and admiral skill. - Reduced willingness of AI to suicide navies that would enter battle early with a way too powerful enemy fleet because of expecting reinforcements. - Probably fixed exiled armies with splinters stuck unable to reach their base due to gathering up. - Fixed cause of fleets stuck waiting for 0 unit armies. - AI will try to keep a minimum fraction of its armies at home rather than sending them abroad to fight. This is however constrained by its splitting logic. - Invading AI army stuck and unable to path to departure port will now disband. This is less bad than tying up a large part of the AI's force (including freed splinters). - Tried to make AI less adamant about transporting troops to own areas with little actual military threat, as well as diverting troops from areas with significant actual threat. - AI slightly more likely to assign leaders to main armies rather than splinters, and especially than divisions. - AI can now simultaneously invade with multiple armies in same area provided there are enough enemies there (rather than exclusively with one army at a time). - Fixed major bug in region assignment system that made most assignments fantasy comparatively speaking. - Fixed invasion splinter consolidation behavior. - Tightened up AIs use of repairing fleets for transport (especially, it will no longer assign such a fleet and then let army sit frozen and wait for it to repair). # Other - Revisited exploration logic to make it work as intended w.r.t. not using entire fleet for it. AI will also stop exploring during war properly. - AI regions are now different from geographic regions and are calculated to optimize AI, will hopefully help with idiot Mamluk AI. - Fixed crash caused by AI trying to raise janissaries in lost states. ################### # Interface ################### # Country - Fixed country names sometimes appearing in very strange places when using Random New World - Land/Navy force limit values/modifiers (considering local autonomy) are shown on map and macro builder selecting Regimental Camp and Shipyard. # Icons/Art - Added new flag for Cornwall - Armies drilling around now have a very notable yellow "Drilling" in their tooltip. - When a human player is at war with another human player, a blue flame will now be shown in the outliner instead of the standard red. # Other - Clicking on an achievement's progress/requirements in the achievement browser will now highlight relevant provinces on the map that you need to fulfill the Achievement. - Clicking a decision requirement will now highlight relevant provinces on the map. ################### # Usermodding ################### # Commands - Added "innovativeness" console cmd. - Added "norevolts" console command. - Added "repair" [ships] console command. - Updated "economy" console command to also display AI budget. - Added "powerspend_count" console command. - Added "assert" console command to check trigger argument (if trigger evaluates false, test failure is invoked). # Effects - Added "change_innovativeness" effect (Country scope.
