I actually would seriously like it if they did (a few) more fantasy/fun DLC. I'd like one for CKII that added 'low' magic based off historical superstitions, like the old game Darklands. Hedge wizards, horrifying vampires, and creepy fae folk. Victoria could get steampunk weaponry, Cthulhu cults, and a literal Martian Tripod invasion modeled off the CKII Mongols, but appearing scattered around the globe.

Indeed, Paradox releases tend to be early morning Sweden time, so that they're in the office to react if something catastrophic happens.

GMG has the new DLC for sale and already sent out keys. If you buy only WoN you can't use the current 20% off voucher ZMMIEX-EW1476-0PNL11 since it's below the 10€ limit, but if you add one cosmetic DLC you can use it, basically getting you the cosmetic DLC for free.

Lots of great stuff in the new patch, but: " Westernisation is now +10 RR instead of +5 RR. - Countries with high monthly income will be slower through westernisation. Maximum monthly power into westernisation is reduced by 1 for each multiple of income by 40."

With all the increases to AE, you're left wondering when they'll remove expansion mechanics entirely. They really seem to want you to stay in your corner of the map, with expansion through war getting the entire world up in arms against you and expansion through diplomacy costing an arm and a leg for integration/annexation or being an RNG-fueled crapshoot for getting and inheriting a PU.

In my current 1.6 game as England, I have the entire British Isles, most of France and a budding colonial empire by the mid 1500s. In my previous game as Mewar I formed Hindustan within a century or starting. Don't let that get in the way of your hyperbole though.

Is 1.6 savegame compatible with 1.5? I had a really fun game as Scandinavia going and I'd hate to restart but I really am sick of my allies turning on me despite being really nice to them and helping them annex half the HRE.

I tested it with a GB save, got a few CTDs but that's because of some graphical mods that need to be updated. Otherwise it seems to work fine, which is great because I'm doing an MP game with some friends. Worst comes to worst you can roll back to the old version to finish your game.

Why not fix it so AI actually manages finances and returns the loans most of the time, rather then leaving in a diplomatic option that never works for anything. Another broken one is return unlawful territory - it's weighted so if AI is coring land it never returns it(no matter your military power and diplomatic reputation) and AI doesn't usually get territory it can't core.

Is there a comprehensive list somewhere of which features are only available with the paid expansion? The free patch sounds great but I won't be able to buy the expansion for a while, so I'm interested to know what I'm missing out on until then.

Sure, that's obviously the ideal, but considering how seldom I'd expect the feature to end up being used (given that it'd require a combination of the player being willing to loan money for a small profit and the AI needing a loan and expecting to be able to pay it back without having to incur bank loans) it just isn't a priority.

Jolan posted:I'm just basing myself on the patch notes, I haven't played with 1.6 yet. Going for a realm like the ones you mention has always been easy if you're expanding slowly. Yes, and there is a significant middle ground between "owns all of Europe 50 years into the game" and "no expansion whatsoever", thus the hyperbole. Cantorsdust posted:Remember that Wiz's design philosophy is that World Conquests should be impossible in this time period. This is reflected in his Let's Plays as well. It's really not about world conquests being possible or impossible, it's about the fact that the game shouldn't have a central mechanic of "expanding has a cost" and then offer ways to completely circumvent that cost. There's an argument to be made for the cost being too high/too low or even that you think it should be scrapped altogether, but what we've done this patch is mostly just to make the game consistent about expansion having a cost, which is a core design feature of EU4.

I never seem to have any problems with AE except for the occasional world spanning coalition, which is always somewhat irritating, but I guess that's what you get when you try and expand in three directions on two different continents at the same time!

Worth noting in that area is that warscore costs now scale for the entire coalition size when making peace with a coalition, so you'll be able to take more provinces when defeating a large coalition. Combined with Administrative Efficiency mechanics, it allows for some extremely fast blobbing towards the endgame.
