You know what this patch also means? MEIOU and Taxes will finally start making serious progress.

Edit: Who thought it was a good idea to give Serbia a -10% cavalry cost national idea? Does anyone ever have any serious problems recruiting cavalry?

[PanH]

-10% cost for a unit also means -10% maintenance (since maintenance is based on cost). I'm not sure if it applies to mercenaries cavalry though.

[Tarran]

Oh, I wasn't aware of that, they really should make that more obvious.

Also, holy cow, I just had the Pragmatic Sanction fire in 1446! I don't think that's how history works!

Russia, after they have -50% infantry cost?

Oh my god, this is absurd. As Bavaria, my Austria has 10 alliances, and yet is keeping with the diplo tech curve. What's worse, four of the alliances are with Poland, Lithuania, Portugal, and Spain, and another couple are would-be expansion targets around me.

Argh, I'm never going to expand with Austria and its thousands of friends breathing down my neck.

Edit: ...The update reset my Lucky Nations settings. Urgh, what a waste of my time.

Well, Savoy is Savoy...and France NO you can't have Savoy.

I'm allied with England, Castille, Aragon and funnily enough some strange amount of states up in the north.
I learned another lesson: Never ally with the 'warring states of bloody north' because really...Wurtember, Mainz, Saxon...they all fight one another like unruly children...sheesh!

Now Aragon's conquered Naples, wonderful.
And the center is in Tuscany's hands while the papal states have been wiped out of the map (and 'Genoa' is now simply in Crimea XD)

But Savoy...nobody shall mess with the Savoyards! really, it's cheaper to hire Mercenaries with out Ideological ideas and then release them post-war...Just must be careful to pay back the loans and...

*chuckles darkly*

HRE...nope, not giving you back MY conquered states. I'll take the hit to reputation any day...in any case, Italy will be mine, mine I tell you!

*ahem* ending the rant...I'm going to annex Corsica.
And then Sardinia.

Is there actually a way to 'buy' regions from other countries, or can you only 'sell' them? I find it strange I can sell them but not 'buy' them.

[Dutchling]

The AI will sell provinces they cannot core, possibly to you if they like you, you have the money, and they think you'll want it.

[Tarran]

No, you can't buy provinces. You'll have to ask the devs on the official forums as to why they don't allow it, but I'd assume it's because AIs still aren't super smart, and you could potentially exploit the AI quite a bit as a result, and humans you can just talk to about selling their provinces anyway.

Yes, but he's talking about just plain offering to buy them, not the AI offering to sell them.

[Dutchling]

What would the purpose be of a buy province button if the AI sells a province it doesn't want ASAP anyway?

[Tarran]

Hey, everyone, important information. For at least some people (including me), game options reset every time the game restarts in 1.2. Meaning Lucky Nations will turn back on. So before you start another 1.2 game, make sure to check your settings!

Edit: Hey, turns out, the Lucky Nations bug is even worse. Sometimes, Lucky Nations can activate mid-game.

[Tarran]

Hey, the 1.2.1 hotfix is out.

Patch notes (with minor corrected spelling):

- Can no longer see destination of others shattered retreat using the low morale icon
- Fixed issue with changing side in the war when making someone your vassal
- Fixed chat where player would not show up i chat
- Warexhaustion now gives revoltrisk again
- Border friction is now entirely dependent on how much basetax you border them with
- Unions now end when the subjects dislikes the overlord, as the tooltip says
- Defender of the faith now gives normal deus vult cb as well

In other news, Paradox is without a good internet. The horror!

Here's translated text from the link Besuchov posted:

News In Stockholm, 10,500 households without internet during Tuesday evening as a result of explosions in connection with the construction of City Line.
The blasting took out fiber owned by Stokab and Skanova. Both internet TV via broadband went out for a total of 17 000 households in the inner city and under Svd problem persists for more than 10 500 households in Vasastan.

Among the affected operators are Comhem and the Stockholm metropolitan area networks.

- Unions now end when the subjects dislikes the overlord, as the tooltip says

Won't that mean you can never claim a throne through a succession war, ever?

After I was done PUing Britain, they had an opinion of me of -180...

[Twiggie]

Its not so hard, just don't take stuff near them and use improve relations. Assuming your king doesn't die in the next 3-5 years you should be fine I think

[Sheb]

Yeah, they only end if your king die while they have negative opinion of you. Since you can get the improved relations to 200, this shouldn't happen.

[PanH]

A good thing is to get the improved relations to 100 before the war, and to take a +30% better relations advisor, since a big malus will come from claiming throne -100, but it can decay fast (had it a +6 per year). Also, bring your newly PU to a war against someone else. There's a +25 for being at war together, +10 for fighting to the end, etc.
