Patchnotes​

Improvements​

• Added mandate generation from Unrecognized countries to all Identities
• Earning Recognition Journal Entry is now unlocked by Colonization rather than Civilizing Mission and only requires 50 relations with a Great Power to complete
• It is now possible to 'upgrade' an Investment Rights pact to a Mutual Investment Agreement, if the other part agrees to it
• Conquering a split state now applies the 'Recently Liberated' rather than 'Recently Conquered' modifier, as the latter ended up giving tax penalties to a state you already owned, which could be devastating for tiny nations
• Ranches no longer consume grain as a default good, but only if more advanced PMs are activated
• Regime Change Diplomatic Play can no longer be used against your own subjects since Law Imposition can be used for it instead
• Collectivized building levels, or buildings with levels that are undergoing collectivization, can no longer be nationalized

• The Boer States now start with National Militia and with their independence guaranteed by Britain

AI​

• The autonomous investment AI now keeps track of how much investment has gone into foreign/domestic states and biases future investment towards domestic states if an excessive amount has gone towards foreign investment, to ensure investment isn't all going overseas
• Fixed an issue where civil war countries and native uprisings would not recruit commanders for their armies due to incorrectly set AI tags for their formations
• Rebellious and Defiant subjects will no longer actively aid their overlord in diplomatic plays outside of what they consider necessary to defend their own territory
• Loyal subjects now mobilize a higher fraction of their troops to aid their overlords in diplomatic plays
• The AI is now able to reassign armies/navies that are traveling, preventing suboptimal naval invasions due to the best fleets not being 'available'
• The AI is now able to launch simultaneous naval invasions, but will generally avoid using all of its armies/fleets at once for this

Balance​

• Manor Houses no longer require infrastructure, as this caused major issues for highly populous countries with a lot of subsistence agriculture
• Reduced investment weights for Manor Houses on all non-agricultural buildings, as their tendency to invest into factories in countries like Japan would lead to an odd aristocrat-led industrialization
• Reduced the rate at which generic random events appear to compensate for increased overall event spawn rate due to prior bug fixes
• Reduced effect of Asceticism (Devout) trait from -50%/-100% to -15%/-30% reduction on radicals from changes to standard of living (sorry)

• Reduced effect of Da Wat (Devout) trait from +50%/+100% to +20%/+40% conversion
• Reduced effect of Propagandists (Intelligentsia) trait from +25%/+50% to +15%/+30% migration attraction
• Decrees now have a minimum cost of 10% of its base cost, to prevent modifier stacking for free Decrees
• Imperious now provides a 20% rather than 25% Decree Cost discount
• Cruel trait now provides a 5% Authority boost rather than a Decree Cost discount

Interface​

• Map markers will now indicate where your foreign construction is happening
• Demand Force Nationalization wargoal will now display how many building levels and what fraction of GDP would be nationalized
• Fixed some issues with the 'failing to hire' tooltip for buildings where it would sometimes lack a reason for failing to hire and/or contain unnecessary whitespaces

• Removed duplicated Leverage Resistance description in tooltip
• Fixed long overlapping texts to not overlap anymore in the Trade States Diplomatic Action popup

Modding​

• Fixed a bug where modders using a create_country effect in global history files would lead to blocs being disbanded during initialization
• Added mandate generation by rank modifiers for unrecognized major, unrecognized regional, unrecognized and insignificant powers
• Added new generic Power Bloc invite acceptance modifier
• Made Power Bloc invite acceptance by rank modifiers support arbitrary ranks defined in script
• Cost calculation for Decrees is now done on a per-state rather than per-country basis, permitting for differing costs dependent on the state the Decree is applied in

• Fixed a bug where the -30 relations penalty with Power Bloc leaders for creating a Power Bloc was applied during history initialization, causing the Great Powers to have erroneously low relations with each other at game start
• Political Lobbies will no longer form targeting Revolutionary countries until they actually win the revolution, to avoid highly temporary lobbies forming and then disbanding
• Replaced the Power Bloc Statue throughput with a level scaling effect under the "Prestige Only" game rule to prevent it from granting the prestige while they are still in the construction queue
• Fixed an AI issue that could lead to incorrectly removing conscript units, leading to negative amount of conscripts in an army
