Versions

Native: e1.4.1 SandboxCore: e1.4.1 Sandbox: e1.4.1 Storymode: e1.4.1 CustomBattle: e1.4.1

Latest Changes:

• We changed price colouring to work according to world averages instead of default prices of items. If an item is 30% or more above the world average it is coloured red. If it is 20% or more below the item's world average price it is coloured green.

• Fixed a bug that caused mercenaries to pay tributes or expenses to/for other mercenaries

• Added a fix to remove duplicate kingdom stances that had already been saved.

• Peace barter initialization parameters have been fixed

• Town prices now model purchases made by caravans and other parties while determining supply and demand.

• Fixed an issue where players who created kingdoms had to pay influence cost for decisions even when there were no other clans to overrule.

Previous Beta Hotfixes:

03/06/20

• Fixed the campaign map defender siege engine positions for the level 2 version of Medeni castle. This should resolve crashing for cases where the player initiates a siege against a level 2 version of the castle.

• Fixed an issue that caused corrupted save files to crash the game on load screen.

• Fixed an issue with the final perk of the 1-handed and 2-handed skills.

• Fixed a bug that caused the diplomacy system to have multiple relations between kingdom pairs. This should alleviate some problems with short war and truce periods.

• On average about 30% of towns and 50% of castles were experiencing issues with starvation. To improve this situation, settlements with less food now offer higher prices so caravans distribute food better. Village food production was also increased from 4/8/12 to 5/10/15 and consumption of beer in settlements now gives a bonus to food stores. Furthermore, garrisons grow to a lesser degree if a settlement has fewer or smaller villages. With these changes starvation was reduced to 10% of towns and 20% of castles - which mostly occurs in cases of hostile actions like raids and sieges.

• Influence awards of some policies were adjusted to reduce influence inflation across kingdoms.

• Effects of daily default projects for settlements were reduced.

• Several minor fixes for AI war and peace declarations.

02/06/20

• Fixed an issue that blocked the AI from declaring wars normally. It is now no longer locked to the player entering the diplomacy screen.

• Fixed a bug that allowed your faction to make peace without your vote.

• AI should be more likely to declare peace if the war is taking a long time.

01/06/20

• Fixed an issue that caused several policies to be activated when the player is a mercenary and goes to the kingdom screen for the first time.

• Disabled the "leave kingdom" button in the clan screen for player kings for the time being as it caused crashes after some time.

• Reintroduced a minimum truce period of 20 days for AI kingdoms.

• Fixed an issue that caused players to get stuck when they accepted a peace decision while in a siege event.

30/05/20

• Fixed an issue that caused AI rulers to miscalculate influence cost vs benefit when overriding a popular vote.

• Fixed an issue that caused automated kingdom decisions for mercenary players.

• The
