==1.7.1==
Patch 1.7.1 was released on 2024-06-27<ref>Forum, [[Forum:1691816|Victoria 3: Hotfix 1.7.1 is now LIVE!]], 2024-06-27.</ref> with checksum ''b087''.


* As a Great Power or a powerful Major Power, you can form your own Power Bloc centered around one of five central Identity pillars: Trade League, Sovereign Empire, Military Treaty, Ideological Union, or Religious Convocation.
=== Improvements ===
* Each of these provide different opportunities and benefits to its leader with respect to its member countries, and can be developed further with up to 4 of 20 different Principle groups, resulting in over twenty thousand different combinations affecting your strategy for global domination!
* Added mandate generation from Unrecognized countries to all Identities
* As a Power Bloc leader you can expand your global reach by extending your Leverage over other countries where you have declared an Interest. A large number of factors that can cause you to gain (or lose) Leverage over a country, such as maintaining Diplomatic Pacts, maintaining favorable Lobbies, helping them in their wars, being accepting or discriminatory against their cultures, or making them economically dependent on you through foreign expansion or trade.
* Earning Recognition Journal Entry is now unlocked by Colonization rather than Civilizing Mission and only requires 50 relations with a Great Power to complete
* Power Blocs can be expanded peacefully through diplomatic invitation into your Bloc or, if the invite fizzles, through a Diplomatic Demand the country may or may not yield to without an armed conflict.
* It is now possible to 'upgrade' an Investment Rights pact to a Mutual Investment Agreement, if the other part agrees to it
* The leader of a Power Bloc must maintain its Cohesion by enforcing its shared values across the bloc. Failure to properly manage Cohesion across your bloc may result in internal strife.
* Conquering a split state now applies the 'Recently Liberated' rather than 'Recently Conquered' modifier, as the latter ended up giving tax penalties to a state you already owned, which could be devastating for tiny nations
* All members of Power Blocs may construct expensive statues to represent its glory, providing a number of benefits to the state it's built in. The leader of a Power Bloc can customize both the appearance of the statue, the Power Bloc emblem, and its name to better represent its ideas and visions for its bright global future.
* Ranches no longer consume grain as a default good, but only if more advanced PMs are activated
* Available with Update 1.7: the Trade League Identity and its two Primary Principle groups, Internal and External Trade, are available even without Sphere of Influence and replaces the Customs Union diplomatic pact by enforcing a shared market across the Power Bloc.
* Regime Change Diplomatic Play can no longer be used against your own subjects since Law Imposition can be used for it instead
* Available with Update 1.7: it is also possible to play as Great Britain, Russia, or the Ottoman Empire who starts with the Sovereign Empire Identity, permitting them to subjugate weaker Power Bloc members, or as Austria whose Power Bloc Identity of Ideological Union permits them to Enforce Regime Change in countries that start flirting with the concept of Republicanism and suffrage. Players without Sphere of Influence may also play a member of the Zollverein, an established Trade League at game start.
* Collectivized building levels, or buildings with levels that are undergoing collectivization, can no longer be nationalized
* Cuirassiers no longer consume iron, but use more small arms instead
* Sovereign Empire statues now provides a 25% Decree Cost discount to the state it is constructed in instead of applying it to the whole country
* The Boer States now start with National Militia and with their independence guaranteed by Britain
=== AI ===
* The autonomous investment AI now keeps track of how much investment has gone into foreign/domestic states and biases future investment towards domestic states if an excessive amount has gone towards foreign investment, to ensure investment isn't all going overseas
* Fixed an issue where civil war countries and native uprisings would not recruit commanders for their armies due to incorrectly set AI tags for their formations
* Rebellious and Defiant subjects will no longer actively aid their overlord in diplomatic plays outside of what they consider necessary to defend their own territory
* Loyal subjects now mobilize a higher fraction of their troops to aid their overlords in diplomatic plays
* The AI is now able to reassign armies/navies that are traveling, preventing suboptimal naval invasions due to the best fleets not being 'available'
* The AI is now able to launch simultaneous naval invasions, but will generally avoid using all of its armies/fleets at once for this
=== Balance ===
* Manor Houses no longer require infrastructure, as this caused major issues for highly populous countries with a lot of subsistence agriculture
* Reduced investment weights for Manor Houses on all non-agricultural buildings, as their tendency to invest into factories in countries like Japan would lead to an odd aristocrat-led industrialization
* Reduced the rate at which generic random events appear to compensate for increased overall event spawn rate due to prior bug fixes
* Reduced effect of Asceticism (Devout) trait from -50%/-100% to -15%/-30% reduction on radicals from changes to standard of living (sorry)
* Reduced effect of Secular Shrine Theory (Devout) trait from +20%/+40% to +15%/+30% conversion
* Reduced effect of Da Wat (Devout) trait from +50%/+100% to +20%/+40% conversion
* Reduced effect of Propagandists (Intelligentsia) trait from +25%/+50% to +15%/+30% migration attraction
* Decrees now have a minimum cost of 10% of its base cost, to prevent modifier stacking for free Decrees
* Imperious now provides a 20% rather than 25% Decree Cost discount
* Cruel trait now provides a 5% Authority boost rather than a Decree Cost discount
=== Interface ===
* Map markers will now indicate where your foreign construction is happening
* Demand Force Nationalization wargoal will now display how many building levels and what fraction of GDP would be nationalized
* Fixed some issues with the 'failing to hire' tooltip for buildings where it would sometimes lack a reason for failing to hire and/or contain unnecessary whitespaces
* Added Bloc Leader interaction icon to differentiate it from Bloc Member actions
* Cursor will no longer flicker between the game cursor and operating system cursor while moving the mouse in the loading screen
* Removed duplicated Leverage Resistance description in tooltip
* Fixed long overlapping texts to not overlap anymore in the Trade States Diplomatic Action popup
* Max number of setbacks modifier will now be displayed as a whole value instead of a confusing percentage value
=== Modding ===
* Fixed a bug where modders using a create_country effect in global history files would lead to blocs being disbanded during initialization
* Added mandate generation by rank modifiers for unrecognized major, unrecognized regional, unrecognized and insignificant powers
* Added new generic Power Bloc invite acceptance modifier
* Made Power Bloc invite acceptance by rank modifiers support arbitrary ranks defined in script
* Cost calculation for Decrees is now done on a per-state rather than per-country basis, permitting for differing costs dependent on the state the Decree is applied in
* decree_cost link now operates in state scope rather than country scope
=== Bugfixes ===
* Fixed a crash related to CollectOwnAndAlliedLandHQs

* The Pamir Delimitation will no longer carry over script variables from previous attempts
* It is no longer possible to capture a state in less than 2 battles, as this could result in issues such naval invasions that were impossible to consolidate due to creating multiple fronts
* Fixed bug that made Pacifists only spawn in the Armed Forces rather than the other way around
* Fixed a bug where the -30 relations penalty with Power Bloc leaders for creating a Power Bloc was applied during history initialization, causing the Great Powers to have erroneously low relations with each other at game start
* Political Lobbies will no longer form targeting Revolutionary countries until they actually win the revolution, to avoid highly temporary lobbies forming and then disbanding
* Replaced the Power Bloc Statue throughput with a level scaling effect under the "Prestige Only" game rule to prevent it from granting the prestige while they are still in the construction queue
* Fixed an AI issue that could lead to incorrectly removing conscript units, leading to negative amount of conscripts in an army
* Fixed a bug when manor house levels weren't removed when subsistence farms were removed
* Fixed a bug where the "Add to Primary" button would show up on an Overlord's Wargoals for the Subject
* Resolved issue where Communism and Populism progress bars didn't properly retreat due to laws

The former led to way higher migration attraction as it was stacking all states' effects where it was active.
* General Brusilov no longer requires owning the American state of Georgia to spawn
* Fixed a bug where accept/decline effects of reverse pact actions such as Request Knowledge Sharing and Request Support Regime were not correctly shown in tooltips

* Pink face and NULL_STATE will no longer briefly appear briefly after a building has finished construction in Foreign Queues
* Fixed Power Bloc formation tutorial to prevent player moving forward despite not having completed a necessary step

* Added a rivalry between Brazil and Argentina at the game start
* Added a rivalry between Britain and Russia at the game start
* The initial Meiji Restoration Journal Entry is now a lot easier to complete and simply requires keeping the Shogunate out of power while maintaining at least middling legitimacy for 10 years, but is failed if the Shogunate gets back into government
* The Impose State Religion bloc action now also converts 2% of the population in non-capital states
* Advanced Research, Colonial Offices and Police Coordination principles now allow bloc leader to impose their law in the education system, colonization and policing law groups respectively

* Police Coordination 2 now reduces political movement radicalism on the police institution instead of giving authority
* Colonial Offices 3 now adds a decrease of 7% to infamy generation against unrecognized countries to the colonization institution
* Choosing to leave a Power Bloc now results in a relations hit and negative catalyst with the other members
* Liberty desire levels now display what war goals they unlock.

* The AI no longer has an increased neutrality score in civil wars where they have a truce with the country having a civil war

=== Performance ===


=== Foreign Investment ===
* Improved frame rate when scrolling in the Building Registry


* With the Foreign Investment Rights or Mutual Foreign Investment Pacts, countries can gain the ability to directly build up another country's resource or manufacturing industries, or offer these rights to another country if they're incapable of rapid industrialization on their own. This right extends to both countries and its investor class, who may use their Investment Pool to construct private industry abroad and gain access to new resources, cheap(er) labor, or both.
=== Balance ===
* With the Foreign Investment Power Bloc Principles, these rights can also be extended across an entire Power Bloc by default without the need to establish and maintain potentially fragile pacts. With Power Bloc Leverage being informed in part by economic dependence, this can become a great way to maintain control over your Power Bloc members during the extent of the long Victorian century.
* Available with Update 1.7: Ownership is represented by two new buildings, Manor Houses (housing the Aristocracy) and Financial Sectors (housing Capitalists), who can own buildings outside their own states or even their country. These buildings extract the profits produced by building levels they own, leading to much greater variance between productive states and wealthy states.
* Available with Update 1.7: In addition to private ownership through Manor Houses and Financial Sectors, Cooperative Ownership is also possible through the right economic system laws. Cooperative Ownership gives pops working their buildings the fruit of their own labor.
* Available with Update 1.7: State-owned enterprises are also possible, which yield dividends directly to state coffers (or drain them, if unprofitable). Under most economic systems, buildings constructed by the state are put up for sale when completed, making them available for acquisition by private interests (or even other countries, if Foreign Investment Rights are in play). Under others, it's possible for the state to nationalize industries, with or without compensation to its owners - with sometimes grave repercussions, domestic or international.
* Available with Update 1.7: Overlords are always able to construct industries in their Subjects, even without Pacts or Power Blocs enabling it.
* With the Sphere of Influence expansion, it is also possible to nationalize all your country's foreign-owned industries with a Diplomatic Demand - but be prepared to defend your economic self-determination!


=== Lobbies, Catalysts, and Opportunities ===
* The Ottomans now get an increase to Intelligentsia approval & clout while pursuing the Tanzimat Reforms
* Reduced the required army size to complete Tanzimat Army Reforms from 150 to 100
* Reduced minting and output of gold mines by about a third
* Declining to pursue the Opium Wars now angers the British East India Company
* Literate Pops now tend to more strongly support movements to abolish slavery after Human Rights is researched
* Reduced military and war exhaustion bonuses given to Taiping as they currently tend to always defeat Qing
* Reduced the infamy generation against unrecognized reduction from Colonial Offices 3 from 50% to 25%
* Added infamy generation against unrecognized reductions to Colonization and Civilizing Mission techs
* Extended time you have to complete Tanzimat Reforms from 20 to 30 years, due to some of the JEs requiring several steps of law reform
* Tweaked army setup and military bonuses granted to Texas to give them a better chance to survive the Texan War of Independence
* Chartered Companies can no longer switch Government Principles
* Slavery laws no longer directly increase the clout of landowners, as they also do so in a very significant way indirectly
* Unification Leadership wargoal is now considered to be contested if any incorporated state is occupied by the enemy
* War Goals that previously required any state to be occupied to be contested (such as War Reparations) now requires any Incorporated state to be contested
* Increased aggression of Afghan countries towards Chitral
* Afghan minors can now request more aid from Great Powers twenty years after last receiving it
* Gave Maimana Tajik as a primary culture, enabling them to form Afghanistan.
* Non-Pashtun Afghan countries will now be more aggressive towards each other.
* Great Game passive drift now relies on the extent of a country's direct or indirect control over Central Asian and Persian states
* Declaring Bankruptcy now applies a decaying reduction in welfare payments, starting at 100%
* Declaring Bankruptcy now immediately resets all institution levels to 1
* Removed Poor Laws (and the government admins supporting it) from China, as it's no longer needed to 'balance' their budget and tends to result in chain bankruptcy
* Changed the requirements of Pacification of the Steppes to make the journal entry more feasible
* Subjects now require to have diplomatic autonomy in order to sign foreign investment rights and agreement pacts
* You now must be non-Isolationist in order to form a Power Bloc, and Power Bloc members cannot enact Isolationist trade policy
* Sovereign Empires now only half the Cohesion loss from having subjects with high Liberty Desire, and only from the Liberty Desire of the leader's own subjects, not subjects of other members
* Tweaked subsistence income and building throughput for decentralized nations so they don't end up with the highest SoL in the world in certain edge case scenarios
* Significantly reduced the Ericsson company's education access bonus.
* Reduced Leverage Resistance from Population by 50%, as it was too difficult to overcome in some cases even with a variety of leverage sources
* Having the Armed Forces or an Authoritarian leader in government is no longer sufficient to initiate the Natural Borders of France
* Reduced AI aggression from Natural Borders


* A Lobby consists of one or more Interest Groups in a country that have a stance on another country in the world. This stance can either be positive, where they wish to form closer relations or imitate its laws and reforms, or negative where the emphasis lies on distancing yourself, forming rivalries, or even crushing them in armed conflict.
=== Interface ===
* Lobbies have a chance to form in response to a Diplomatic Catalyst, which can trigger for a variety of reasons such as establishing or breaking a Pact, choosing a particular event option, having a revolution, joining or being kicked out of a Power Bloc, inviting or exiling an Agitator, and so on. Whenever something happens as a result of a Catalyst, such as a lobby forming or an AI strategy changing, you will be told exactly the reason why it happened.
* Lobbies will benefit or hinder you in a number of ways, such as increasing a country's AI Acceptance for Diplomatic Pacts due to your close ties, or increasing your War Support when fighting a hated foe. The impact your Lobby has relates directly to its Interest Group membership's Clout, so you have a vested interest in supporting those groups that align with your own foreign policy and opposing those who support your geopolitical enemies.
* Adhering to your Lobbies' wishes will increase their Appeasement, which is another source of Interest Group Approval and leads to political stability at home. Opposing them will of course do the opposite, so think carefully if you can afford to break that pact they like!
* With the Sphere of Influence expansion, Lobbies will occasionally grant opportunities or make demands. These are Journal Entries that incentivize you to go after specific foreign policy goals, or which you ignore at your peril!
* Also with the Sphere of Influence expansion, you have access to a new Diplomatic Action that lets you fund lobbies in other countries by bribing providing much-deserved financial support to the country's elite, increasing the chance that lobbies favoring you (or lobbies that oppose your enemies) will emerge there. If a suitable lobby already exists, the financial support you provide will increase its power and improve the Leverage you gain there.
* Subjugated countries can also be home to two other types of Lobbies - those for or against the country's Overlord, supporting integration or independence respectively. Nurturing or suppressing these Lobbies can provide the necessary political impact you need to nudge Liberty Desire in the direction you want and inform one of four new AI Strategies for subject countries.


=== Subject Interactions ===
* Added a separate tooltip description for when a building loses employees due to emigration instead of just saying they were fired
* When inviting a prospective member to a Power Bloc you are now given a prediction of what that will do to your Cohesion
* There is now a confirmation box when pressing 'Leave Power Bloc'
* There is now a notification for other Power Bloc members when a non-leader country leaves the bloc
* Made the sortable column header buttons sticky at the top of the Market panel (Goods tab) when you scroll.
* Building Registry filters are now rows of buttons of icons instead of fold out menus


* Sphere of Influence comes with a number of brand-new ways you can interact with your Subjects, or if you are a subject, ways you can engage with your Overlord. Several new categories of Diplomatic Actions have been added which apply only to countries with special relationships: Overlord/Subject, Subject/Overlord, Power Bloc Leader/Member, and Power Bloc Member/Member.
=== Modding ===
* For example, an Overlord can use actions on their Subject to increase or reduce the weekly payments they must submit, distribute conquered territory between their subjects, share their technological knowledge with them, permit them to control their own market, and more!
* Similarly, Subjects can petition their Overlord to grant them relief in various ways. This often costs them Liberty Desire, a new metric in Update 1.7 that tracks how much the country's elite is in favor of independence. Like Leverage, this metric is informed by a variety of factors, such as Opinion - but also by many Pacts maintained between the countries, their Economic Dependence on the Overlord, relative Prestige, and so on. If a Subject's Liberty Desire gets very high they will start generating more Radicals, prompting them to request increased autonomy from their Overlord; if not granted, it could well result in a Diplomatic Demand for full independence instead. On the other hand, a Subject with very low Liberty Desire can be persuaded to have their autonomy reduced, potentially leading them down the road to full annexation if they aren't careful.
* With the Sphere of Influence expansion, in addition to the many new Diplomatic Actions, it is also possible to support a Subject's independence, causing their Liberty Desire to increase and automatically including you as a supporter in any Diplomatic Play for Independence they launch. Subjects may even support each other, and will rebel as a group if a war for independence is imminent! On the flip side you can also Guarantee Independence for a country that is not yet subjugated, ensuring none of your rival Great Powers can make such a demand unquestioned!


=== The Great Game ===
* Added new trigger called army_power_projection
* Building groups can now be flagged as always_self_owning, which makes them always worker-owned


* Throughout the nineteenth century, Russia and Britain competed with one another for influence in Asia. This period of rivalry was known colloquially as the Great Game, beginning in the Caucasus and Central Asia, and expanding over time to include struggles for influence in areas as far away as Korea and China. In Sphere of Influence you can play out this crucial "cold war" between these two dominant but very different Great Powers from several perspectives: Russia, Britain, Persia, or one of three countries - Kabul, Herat, and Kandahar - that will form the country of Afghanistan during the era.
=== Bugfixes ===
* The Great Game can be experienced by playing one of the six countries in question in any regular game, or through the new Great Game objective which provides a quickstart into all the new features of Sphere of Influence. You will naturally also experience the conflict from the sidelines while playing as any country in the world, and can get involved to help or hinder any of its participants. Many regions adjacent to the Great Game also have their own unique narrative content relating to it, such as the Caucasian War, the Donghak Rebellion in Joseon/Korea, and the expedition to Tibet.
* The Great Game is designed to make full use of all new features in Sphere of Influence, and you can be sure that your skills in maintaining your Power Bloc, expanding your Leverage, supporting your foreign Lobbies, expanding your economic reach through Foreign Investments, and interacting with your Subjects will be tested in the process!
* To increase the historical accuracy of the Great Game, the map of Central Asia has been greatly improved, with several new countries and cultures added as well as regional Interest Groups, twelve new Companies, and more.


There are also a wealth of new art features available with the Sphere of Influence expansion:
* Fixed an issue with foreign investment that could cause invalid elements to appear and stay around in the Construction Queue permanently, however this will only prevent the issue from appearing in new saves. We are planning to introduce a save-game validation fix for old saves in 1.7.3.
* The Pamir Delimitation JE tooltips no longer lags the game. A tooltip for the JE activation has been added for clarity.
* Tibet Expedition JE now ends when subjugation demand is refused by other countries.
* Fixed an issue that would cause Formations to sometimes travel towards a Front they cannot join.
* Fixed an issue in the code that handles the relationship between interest groups and political lobbies, which caused misleading error messages to be logged.
* Fixed a bug where using a create_country effect in global history files would lead to blocs being disbanded during initialization
* Unrecognized powers no longer get any benefit from infamy reduction against unrecognized modifier
* Fixed a bug where a number of AI countries (such as Greece) did not pursue their Journal Entries because the catalyst for Journal Entry was incorrectly firing on JE creation instead of JE activation
* Fixed a bug where Journal Entries that were created in an inactive state before the start of the game did not notify the player about their activation due to a rather bizarre (and entirely unnecessary) boolean set on creation
* Fixed column header broken loc in map list panel for inviting countries to your bloc
* Fixed a bug where half of the screen sometimes turned orange during the start of diplomatic plays.
* Fixed a crash that occurred when collecting unit distribution data
* Resolved an issue which caused null objects to occasionally appear in exiles events.
* Power bloc statues are now prevented from being transferred when states change hands to countries that shouldn't have them.
* Fixed a bug where employees would switch jobs without taking potential dividends into account
* Fixed a bug causing government owned buildings to have a hard time filling their employment
* Fixed a bug where the country religion link was referencing the country definition's religion instead of the country's state religion, resulting in the Impose State Religion bloc action being repeatable on the same country
* Remove the duplicated Overlord Actions button for Subjects that appeared when you are not a Power Bloc leader.
* Fixed a bug where cohesion for ideological unions was inexplicably trending towards 0
* Removed the placeholder Manul culture from the game.
* Fixed an issue where the relief option in the STATE Crop Failure event would apply the wrong modifiers.
* Conquering a split state now applies the 'State Liberated' rather than 'State Conquered' modifier, as the latter ended up giving tax penalties to a state you already owned, which could be devastating for tiny nations
* Amended the description for the I'm the Captain now achievement.
* Reduce the freeze during annexation caused by diplomatic catalysts
* Gold Fields are now always worker owned
* Fixed fleets being stuck in ally HQs after losing military access to them

* Fixed a bug where it was possible to accept a diplomatic proposal that had become invalid in the time between it was proposed and when it was accepted
* Removed Clergymen from Cotton Plantations' default Production Method and replaced them with Farmers.

* Homesteading law now also affects the ranching category buildings in addition to agriculture buildings.
* Fixed a bug where the expedition cost in Tibet was still active after the journal entry ended.

  • It is now possible to 'upgrade' an Investment Rights pact to a Mutual Investment Agreement, if the other part agrees to it
  • Conquering a split state now applies the 'Recently Liberated' rather than 'Recently Conquered' modifier, as the latter ended up giving tax penalties to a state you already owned, which could be devastating for tiny nations
  • Ranches no longer consume grain as a default good, but only if more advanced PMs are activated
  • Regime Change Diplomatic Play can no longer be used against your own subjects since Law Imposition can be used for it instead

  • The Boer States now start with National Militia and with their independence guaranteed by Britain

AI

  • The autonomous investment AI now keeps track of how much investment has gone into foreign/domestic states and biases future investment towards domestic states if an excessive amount has gone towards foreign investment, to ensure investment isn't all going overseas
  • Fixed an issue where civil war countries and native uprisings would not recruit commanders for their armies due to incorrectly set AI tags for their formations

  • The AI is now able to reassign armies/navies that are traveling, preventing suboptimal naval invasions due to the best fleets not being 'available'
  • The AI is now able to launch simultaneous naval invasions, but will generally avoid using all of its armies/fleets at once for this

Balance

  • Manor Houses no longer require infrastructure, as this caused major issues for highly populous countries with a lot of subsistence agriculture
  • Reduced investment weights for Manor Houses on all non-agricultural buildings, as their tendency to invest into factories in countries like Japan would lead to an odd aristocrat-led industrialization
  • Reduced the rate at which generic random events appear to compensate for increased overall event spawn rate due to prior bug fixes

Interface

  • Map markers will now indicate where your foreign construction is happening

  • Cursor will no longer flicker between the game cursor and operating system cursor while moving the mouse in the loading screen
  • Removed duplicated Leverage Resistance description in tooltip
  • Fixed long overlapping texts to not overlap anymore in the Trade States Diplomatic Action popup
  • Max number of setbacks modifier will now be displayed as a whole value instead of a confusing percentage value

Modding

  • Fixed a bug where modders using a create_country effect in global history files would lead to blocs being disbanded during initialization
  • Added mandate generation by rank modifiers for unrecognized major, unrecognized regional, unrecognized and insignificant powers
  • Added new generic Power Bloc invite acceptance modifier
  • Made Power Bloc invite acceptance by rank modifiers support arbitrary ranks defined in script
  • Cost calculation for Decrees is now done on a per-state rather than per-country basis, permitting for differing costs dependent on the state the Decree is applied in
  • decree_cost link now operates in state scope rather than country scope

  • Fixed bug that made Pacifists only spawn in the Armed Forces rather than the other way around
  • Fixed a bug where the -30 relations penalty with Power Bloc leaders for creating a Power Bloc was applied during history initialization, causing the Great Powers to have erroneously low relations with each other at game start
  • Political Lobbies will no longer form targeting Revolutionary countries until they actually win the revolution, to avoid highly temporary lobbies forming and then disbanding
  • Replaced the Power Bloc Statue throughput with a level scaling effect under the "Prestige Only" game rule to prevent it from granting the prestige while they are still in the construction queue
  • Fixed an AI issue that could lead to incorrectly removing conscript units, leading to negative amount of conscripts in an army
  • Fixed a bug when manor house levels weren't removed when subsistence farms were removed
  • Fixed a bug where the "Add to Primary" button would show up on an Overlord's Wargoals for the Subject

Content

  • Added a journal entry for the reunification of China

  • Treaty Ports are now only functional against a market if they are adjacent to an incorporated state from the market

AI

  • Fixed some issues with AI strategy logic for isolationist countries which was inadvertently applied to non isolationist countries, causing the AI to generally avoid befriending other countries

  • The AI is now far less willing to give up wargoals in peace deals unless those wargoals are actually being contested
  • The AI will now instantly capitulate in a war where they and all their allies are 100% occupied
