Queen of the People update

[p]Hello,[/p][p]I’m glad to see how much you enjoyed the France DLC![/p][p]Now it’s time for the October regular update.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]This month’s update includes:[/h3]
  • [p]All action algorithms have been reworked.[/p]
  • [p]Success odds displayed in actions tooltips have been fine-tuned.[/p]
  • [p]2 new game modes to set the level of luck to your liking.[/p]
  • [p]Long overdue events for Communist Great Britain and Portugal.[/p]
  • [p]Spanish localization added.[/p]
[p]I’ll go into detail about the most notable action balance changes and the new game modes. The rest are more straightforward and don’t need much explanation.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]Most Notable Action Changes[/h3][p]Economic Aid[/p]
  • [p]The chances of triggering the Corruption trait via economic aid have been reduced.[/p]
[p]Coups[/p]
  • [p]The algorithm has been changed: the USSR now has a lower penalty when attempting to coup People’s Republics.[/p]
  • [p]Military presence provides a greater bonus.[/p]
  • [p]Couping France early in the game may now trigger a civil war.[/p]
[p]Organizing Protests[/p]
  • [p]The success rate (loss of stability) is now higher.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]New Game Modes[/h3][p]Closed Casino
At last, you’ve uncovered why you keep losing despite being one of the greatest strategists of the century: the game is dicey![/p]
  • [p]In this mode, whenever randomness determines an action’s outcome, you will always receive the average result.[/p]
  • [p]The AI is not affected by this mode.[/p]
[p]Casino Royale
You don’t lack skill—just luck.[/p]
  • [p]In this mode, whenever randomness is used to determine an action’s outcome, your results will always fall in the better half of the probability range.[/p]
  • [p]If Closed Casino is also enabled, you will always get the best possible roll.[/p]
  • [p]The AI is also affected by this mode.[/p]
[hr][/hr][p][/p][h3]What’s Next?[/h3][p]I’ll keep polishing the game, fixing issues, and rebalancing as needed.[/p][p]I don’t know yet what the November update will contain, but there’s some big work in the pipeline:[/p][p][/p][p]Pax Americana (1989–2001 DLC)[/p]
  • [p]The USA will flex its muscles and overextend its presence worldwide… until reality reminds them they aren’t invincible.[/p]
  • [p]The Russian player will face the chaotic transition of keeping together the collapsing pieces of its empire.[/p]
  • [p]Of course, you can still choose to save the USSR and play it until 2001, but this path will be far less challenging.[/p]
[p]Portuguese Localization[/p]
  • [p]The game already includes a DIY translation system, but I’ll provide default machine-made translations for some languages until the community improves them.[/p]
  • [p]Expect about 7/10 quality.[/p]
[p][/p][p][/p][p]Have fun!
