Patch 1.241

Hi all, I just pushed the first post-release patch for the game.

New Features

Military

• Delete and attach formation templates -- templates can now be deleted (with confirmation), and unassigned militaries can attach an existing template or create a new one directly from the sidebar

• Strength tooltip on the military sidebar explains formation status (no formation, over/under target, at target)

• Units now provisioned with 3 months of resources when added to an army, preventing immediate attrition

Power Blocs

• Rich text and clickable links in power bloc demands and goal descriptions -- references to the Imperial Court now link directly to the relevant tab

• Weak power blocs (below 25% of player military power) can no longer issue demands

• Foederati and Personal power blocs form after game start

Map & Visuals

• Map labels now have borders for improved readability

• Hover indicator on settlement glances hints that they are clickable

• Descriptive location text for armies and navies not near a settlement

UI & Quality of Life

• Auto-Resume setting -- the game now stays paused after dismissing events and diplomatic notifications by default; a toggle in Settings > Gameplay restores the old behaviour

• Blocked cursor and tooltips for besieged and blockaded settlements, preventing invalid actions

• Per-tab hints added to the diplomacy screen

• AddedEdict UI improvedcountdown shows remaining days, gold cost deducted on enactment, clicking a new edict cancels the active one

• Camera speed settings moved from Gameplay to Controls tab

• Current language name shown alongside flag in the main menu

• Garrisoned army widgets now stack vertically instead of horizontally

• Notification widgets now have tooltips

Console & Modding

• 14 new console cheats covering military, characters, diplomacy, settlements, economy, and map

Balance Changes

• Increased war enthusiasm penalty to prevent trivial early peace deals

• Capped Kyrnos to 2 armies and Vituria to 4 armies maximum

Localisation

• War names, rank names, and court position titles now fully localised

• Event grammar and character info localisation updated for CJK languages and Russian

• CJK text wrapping enabled in rich text tooltips

• Settings controls, notifications, DLSS, FPS, and model names localised

• Resource tooltip "/mo" suffix localised

• Stat names in event effects localised

• Replaced "wild ass" with "torsion engine" in Onager unit description to avoid literal animal translation in Chinese

• Proper noun glossary added to the translation pipeline for consistent translations of proper nouns
