firestruck posted:I've played like 80 years out of a campaign already and haven't experienced any comically disastrous bugs, and have done similar things with every expansion except for conquest of paradise. Nah it's literally found one bug of modest seriousness = unplayable mess of bugs. Some posters are highly invested in being hysterical about our releases.

Mans posted:So they decided that the best way to prevent the player from doing world conquests (kinda weird how the EU devs are so autistic about fighting every mechanic people use to do them since 99.9% of the playerbase doesn't give a poo poo about it) was by making basic game mechanics expensive as gently caress monarch-points wise, meaning the AI who already struggled super hard at keeping up tech wise will now an even bigger push-over (since not only will it expand at a slower pace but it will also level up at a slower rate). Nope, you're just really dumb.

axeil posted:That bug being the "If nationalist rebels of your tag win their revolt in another country they take over your country" bug? No, that one is obviously serious. It's just that there are a few posters (you know who you are) who sit and wait after every release until someonbe posts a bug (any bug) and then proclaim the game an unplayable mess. It's more cute than anything. 20000 people playing for an hour on 20000 hardware setups will ALWAYS find some serious issues we've missed. We could do QA for a year and this would still happen, and while we will obviously patch these issues they are only affecting a very small number of players.

Poil posted:I noticed something you might want to change. If you war and annex a OPM, you can forcibly convert their religion as well which instantly changes the province to your faith bypassing the whole missionary conversion. It only works for heretics but it's obviously not intended. Maybe make the conversion happen after a day or two or just disable it if you take ALL provinces. Yeah that's def a bug.

Apoffys posted:Why is it that the AI can walk through/past my forts as if they weren't there, while I can't do the same to them? Here's a screenshot of Austria happily marching past my fort to get at me, but I've also had the AI walk through the province with the fort to get at me before. AI obeys same rules you do (the block is in the basic pathfinding check). I admit that looks odd though, did they somehow come from Cremona previously?

A Buttery Pastry posted:I was just thinking the other day that a tile-based Random New World would be a good idea, and then you go and post this. I have a few question though, in regards to the terrain and climate. I assume the tiles include heighmaps, but do the heighmaps affect climate? As in a great big mountain range could result in a rain shadow, while highlands are cooler than lower lying regions. Also, am I correct in assuming each tile has to be a complete landmass? In my mind I had imagined a sort of puzzle-piece system, with various pieces having predefined possibly neighbors (meaning a massive super continent could be created out of a bunch of smaller pieces), but then it is pretty easy coming up with ideas you don't have to implement. Yes, they include heightmap, and yes, both heightmap and rivers affect the surrounding terrain. No, a tile does not have to be a complete landmass. A tile can be an archipelago of hundreds of islands. Wiz fucked around with this message at 14:43 on Jul 9, 2015 |

Tahirovic posted:Wiz is there any chance you could rework Rome being a requirement for Northern Italy staying in the HRE? Austria just seem to ally them too often, preventing them from keeping the HRE together. I also always assumed that the Papal States/The Pope is the secular arm while the Emperor was the worldly arm, so it would make sense for the two of them to work together. The AI isn't really meant to try and keep Italy in the Empire.

Prop Wash posted:- Buddhists no longer pay any diplomatic cost for releasing nations, releasing vassals and returning cores. AE decay rate isn't changed so if you expand quickly enough you'll still get coalitions, and the AI can still muck up and overestimate its own power. It was a bit extreme when one province could push you into coalition territory under certain circumstances though.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:Honestly wars should be won or lost more decisively based on large battles. It's pretty We'd had 'one battle decides the war' at one point in EU4 in large wars. It was absolutely terrible. Gameplay goes before historical accuracy. I also think you guys are underestimating the problems related with making the AI be 'reasonable'. If the AI was 'reasonable' and gave up a province or two as soon as you win a siege or a battle, it basically means you can take territory from them at will with essentially no risk or manpower burn. There's also the problem of the player then being unreasonable and refusing to ever surrender or accept an AI's surrender so they can burn that AI's country to the ground. The peace mechanics in EU4 is what turns every war into total war, having the AI pretend to play otherwise will do it more harm than good.

fighting a war that consists of dozens of massive battles and widespread sieges and occupations. Most of the Napoleonic coalition wars were decided with one or two battles (Austerlitz, Eylau, etc.). Not to mention that armies of this time were not logistically capable of the sorts of occupations you need to win a war in this game.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:I don't think I ever experienced that. What was it like? Wars with 500,000 people on each side where one battle gave 40 warscore, ie "whoever attacks in bad terrain first loses".

Deutsch Nozzle posted:Honestly, whenever the AI declares war on me (usually to conquer a single mission province) I will send my entire army and manpower pool to their deaths defending that province. Then I'll run my country to the brink of bankruptcy funneling mercenaries into the breach because I refuse to lose a war to video game AI. If I gain the advantage I'll take my time patiently 100%ing the country and taking a ton of their stuff in the peace. Maybe I should code the AI to be reasonable to players that act reasonable, and petty and stubborn to ones that don't.

I tweeted a WIP picture of the reworked Random New World for anyone interested. Trade nodes are now dynamically generated along with the world instead of re-using the old new world connections. The trade node names are silly because they're placeholders from a random place name generator.
