Greetings everyone! Yesterday we released 1.32 Songhai for each and everyone. Unfortunately the update contained a fix for Aggressive Expansion from Personal Unions which previously was too low - but with the fix it got too high. This issue has been fixed in this 1.32.1 patch - along with a number of other things like a bug where people without Conquest of Paradise saw an unnatural increase in development cost from Army Tradition. You can read the full patchnotes below. 1.32.1 is not yet ready for full release as it requires more testing - but we wanted to give you a possibility to play EU4 1.32 Songhai without the above glaring issues over the weekend so we'll release it now as an opt-in beta patch. How to opt-in to 1.32.1: 1. Right click Europa Universalis IV in Steam and go to Properties 2. Go to the BETAS menu and pick 1.32.0.1_beta in the dropdown list 3. Close the window and let the game update in Steam Please report any problems with 1.32.1 (or 1.32 for that matter) in the Bug Report forum! Make sure you put what version of the game you are playing in the thread title (ex [1.32] or [1.32.1]) to help us organize the reports - thank you! (We will not be able to collect bug reports from Steam I'm afraid) Here's the full patchnotes for 1.32.1! ################### # Gamebalance ################### # Governments - The Shogunate can no longer switch their primary culture # War & Peace - Reduced AE gained from PU.
