Thank you for pushing out the bugfix early on a Monday, I appreciate it.

When will you balance it so that France doesn't get twice the russian population? (Strenghthen russia, weaken France). EDIT: obviously I mean late game.

Also, warfare has a ridiculous bug with army sometimes teleporting back after successful invasion.

You sure you are not mistaking anything? Just checked, Russian Empire has around 58M at startdate while France and its colinies has 33M, seems pretty realistic. Dont forget that historically Russian's pop density was and still is very low.

No, they had morale when you built them. But they didn't recover morale which they lost in a battle. I'm not sure if this was always the case or just sometimes.

Sounds good.

The pop fragmentation problem that led to significant slowdown in the late game and the navy morale bug have been addressed.

Those are two of the bigger problems.

Obviously I'm talking about how game situation develops.

Have you played a long campaign yet?

Yeah... FIX THE THING I CARE ABOUT!! RIGHT NOW!!

lol, seriously though. This seems to be mainly a performance fix, addressing the (not insignificant) issue of many people finding the game unplayably slow at the end. That's got to be their highest priority, after actual stability issues (of which there aren't that many).

there are plenty of actual gameplay improvements that can be made, you can be certain they're all on a list somewhere, demanding to know dates when each of them is going to be sorted out isn't helping anyone...,

MachopPower69 · Nov 14, 2022

Thanks for crashing my game for the update!

Edit: Sarcasm guys. Plus I had crashing issues so I assumed it was random updates or Steam being Steam.

What problem do you see with someone asking about when the issue he cares about will be fixed?

I believe for a historical strategy a ridiculously ahistorical outcome happening EVERY TIME is kinda a problem. It breaks not just immersion but also game balance.

Hopefully these 2 will have an impact on late game performance.
That's how i read the intent anyway

Question · Nov 14, 2022

Why was BATTLE_PROVINCES_TAKEN_MAX_UNIT_RATIO_SCALE in the defines not fixed? It does not work (just check the debug.log file). This seems to be the reason why late game battles only capture 1 province.

See : https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...d-defines-still-not-working-properly.1555087/

Interestingly, it seems the issue with dependents not assimilating/converting wasnt fixed in this patch either...according to the patch notes at least.

I wasnt playing big countries for now but it seems like a player problem? More job opportunities, cheaper goods and migration attraction laws create more population in smaller countries? Its like IRL or something. But if its somehow a game's fault, please do point it out because Im kinda confused as to what the problem is there.

Grzegorz Grzybek · Nov 14, 2022

Here are some technical details:

Reduced the number of monthly radicals from political movements to enact and restore

Code:

-       POLITICAL_MOVEMENT_MONTHLY_RADICALS = 0.01           
+       POLITICAL_MOVEMENT_MONTHLY_RADICALS = 0.002          
+       POLITICAL_MOVEMENT_TO_PRESERVE_MONTHLY_RADICALS = 0.01

Fixed AI incorrectly calculating how much an ongoing war or diplomatic play should add to their neutrality, making them abandon allies due to involvement in small conflicts

Code:

-       DIPLO_PLAY_ABANDON_ALLY_RELUCTANCE = 25
-       DIPLO_PLAY_ABANDON_SUBJECT_RELUCTANCE = 50
+       DIPLO_PLAY_ABANDON_ALLY_RELUCTANCE = 50
+       DIPLO_PLAY_ABANDON_SUBJECT_RELUCTANCE = 100

Changes in files between 1.0.5 and 1.0.6 (I keep the files in local Git repo):

Can anyone say what changed here? I am at work so I can't check achievment files myself.

Oh... I thought its gonna be obvious I mean late game and AI. Seems you didn't commit too much attention to how countries change over time. In short: I never played russia or france. But in EVERY game I played France gets ridiculously high pop growth while russia ridiculously low. Should be opposite to make the game even a bit historically accurate. Monstrous France with double the size population of russia (in reality russian population was four times larger in later period) kinda ruins it for someone who needs a bit of historical immersion.

pretty much. The only way to avoid your navies having 0 morale was to completely dismantle all naval bases that had assigned admirals after any major war against a naval power. Fighting France or GB as anyone for example would pretty much ruin your entire standing navy.

that explains why anyone was failing to do a naval landing
