Victoria 3 – Dev Diary #172 – Seasons greetings & Hotfix 1.12.2

[p][/p][p]Seasons greetings Victorians! (And Happy Thursday for those that celebrate)[/p][p][/p][p]As we head into the winter period, with ice and snow sprinkling across the Swedish shores, we’ll take a moment after the release of Iberian Twilight to do a small look through the response to the immersion pack, a look through what we’ve dubbed ‘the autumn and winter of side quests’, hotfix 1.12.2 itself and plans for post release support for 1.12![/p][p][/p][p]Following on from our short contents list, let us begin with a sunny contrast to this cold weather, and take a stroll through Iberian Twilight![/p][p][/p][p]As I write this, and looking through the many comments about the negotiations, flavor and other areas added both in Update 1.12 and Iberian Twilight, we can safely say thank you for the extremely positive reception you have given this last update and Immersion Pack of 2025.[/p][p][/p][p]The feedback we received from betas early on in the process of crafting this content, has truly helped make this update and immersion pack the best it could be. So thank you specially to them.[/p][p]
[/p][h2]The Autumn and Winter of Side Quests[/h2][p][/p][p]In our “What's next after X?” Dev Diaries we usually outline what our main quests are that we want to handle through free updates, which we normally release after a larger update. Most recently we published an overview in DD152 after Update 1.9 alongside Charters of Commerce.[/p][p][/p][p]After tackling trade and markets in that update, which was a huge undertaking, we decided to not do as big changes in the next updates for the year - as we said to the community - and focus instead on polish, bug fixing and background prep for future updates. Just like when you’re playing an RPG, you’ve just finished a chunk of the main quest, and you head back to your home base and restock, recuperate and plan for what's next. Maybe do a little crafting and cooking, organize your loot.[/p][p][/p][p]But then you see that (!) over someone’s head, you think to yourself ‘just one little side quest’ and… yeah, you know how that goes. For us this was first Culture/Discrimination in National Awakening and now Negotiations/Amendments in Iberian Twilight, both of which weren't part of our main quests so to speak. We also picked up some other minor side quests along the way, such as the changes to elections. Oh, and all the modding upgrades and global journal entries, and…[/p][p][/p][p]Well. This wasn’t something we had planned to do, but is a result of the passion, creative spark and drive from individual team members, combined with some smart planning on our end that allowed us to get these things done within our normal production schedule. All in all, we’re quite happy with the result and judging from how well these features were received, you seem to be too![/p][p][/p][p]This rambling and metaphorical way of explaining things is really a way to explain why we haven't approached other areas in the “What's next” diary content and why we aren't updating it this time - we simply would not be able to check anything off, and our goals remain the same as they were in DD159. The next major update (1.13), will be different though, and will mark a definitive return to the main quest.
[/p][p]So what is next, then? Well, as you might have surmised from the abundance of loud foghorns over the last few months, next year will see some major updates to the naval side of the game. There will be a Dev Diary outlining the contents of Volume 3, coming in Q1 where we will tell you more.[/p][p][/p][p]And so, on to the hotfix proper, releasing at the same time as this Dev Diary!
[/p][h2]Hotfix 1.12.2 [/h2][p]Checksum `5[c]b5[/c]6[c]`[/c][/p][h2]Improvements[/h2]

[p]Increased the culling of agitators in the exile pool as it was easily possible to have +300 agitators at any given time sitting around in a café in Switzerland by the mid-game. This scales off character popularity and will target non-historical agitators first.[/p]

[p]Allow Regulars to move home and temporary AI formations to merge if they are not involved in a significant war. Helps late game global empires where their armies would get stuck in far away possessions.[/p]
[p]Changed how the AI tags armies to make sure always one army is tagged as garrison in a HQ. Helps with late game global empires which will slowly have eroded away all their garrison to be active armies.[/p]
[p]Added a simplistic version of army movement for peace time to just move armies back home. Another source of why armies would get stuck in literally nowhere.[/p]
[p]The Carlists will now fully focus their attacks on capturing Madrid upon the start of the Royal Expedition[/p]

[/p]

[p]Fascist movements now gain Activism proportional to their Support[/p]
[p]In 1.12.0 we increased the amount of blockade strength required to fully blockade a state by a substantial margin, however we also overshot a bit with our original changes. In this hotfix we are reducing the amount of blockade strength required per value of traded unit by 33%.[/p]

[p]Reduced the amount of Fervor required by the "Integrating the Brazilian Nation" Journal Entry to 65[/p]

So, that is us for now! We hope you have a continued good time with Iberian Twilight and a wonderful holiday season. We will be off on holiday now, but will see you again in the New Year around the end of January for our first dev diary of 2026![/p]

Generally, the more comprehensive your voting rights, the more severe the effects of low Electoral Confidence.[/p]
[p]Added the Tradition of Free Elections amendment, which blocks electoral manipulation, makes the enactment of autocratic laws more difficult, and increases base legitimacy[/p]
[p]Added 3 free historical companies[/p]
[p]Added the Kaiserforum, including a related Journal Entry and events (National Awakening)[/p]
[p]Added a new Ruler Selector to the country selection screen. The Ruler Selector only shows when the Ruler Selector Game Rule is Enabled and is disabled for Multiplayer.[/p]
[p]Added a new Addendum article type letting you write a custom message as an article. It has no mechanical effects.[/p]
[p]Added a Slave Revolt movement, representing attempts by slaves to self-emancipate[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]Improvements[/h2]

[p]Added a selection of new flags, names, and map colours for Iberia[/p]
[p]Greatly reworked starting wine production areas, and shifted more production towards France, Italy, and Iberia[/p]
[p]Added Esperanto hub names to Iberia[/p]
[p]Added German state name variants for Spanish and Portuguese states[/p]
[p]Reworked coups to be centered around dissatisfied military commanders, and broadened the laws they may establish[/p]
[p]Devastation is now per-state instead of a state region so your pesky neighbor who is constantly at war and whom you are sharing a region with, won't be affecting you anymore[/p]
[p]Added support for displaying full character names in the order determined by their culture. I.e. Tokugawa Ienari instead of Ienari Tokugawa. This is set per culture and defaults to first name + last name.[/p]
[p]Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Manchu, Hungarian, Khmer, and Champa cultures now make use of Eastern naming order[/p]
[p]Interest Groups will now change only ever join or leave parties when an election campaign starts. However, the restrictions on Interest Groups leaving or joining parties in government is lifted so parties can be freely recomposed in any way when the election campaign starts (and only then). The only exception to this is under Single Party State, where IGs are allowed to join the only legal party at any time.[/p]
[p]Certain very backwards laws, such as Serfdom, Isolationism, Peasant Levies, and Traditionalism, will now consolidate all liberal pops into the Modernisation Movement. More liberal and communist movements will not be available until these laws are removed.[/p]
[p]The "Bourbon for Everyone" achievement now requires a Bourbon monarch, and may now be achieved after forming Iberia[/p]
[p]Reworked the political and cultural setup for the Philippines, and split Filipino culture into five[/p]
[p]All buildings with allowed collectivization now have a greater chance to 'self-invest', ie for new autonomously invested levels to be owned by the Workforce, and a lower chance to be privatized[/p]
[p]Under Guild System and Traditionalism, buildings now have a greater chance to 'self-invest', ie for new autonomously invested levels to be owned by the Workforce, and a lower chance to be privatized[/p]
[p]Made the Geheime Staatskonferenz modifier for Austria into a starting Amendment which increases Legitimacy, decreases law enactment success chance, and blocks government reform for as long as it is active[/p]
[p]Reworked the political setup of West Africa, and added a bunch of dynamic names to the region[/p]
[p]Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of arable land in incorporated states is now reserved for subsistence buildings and cannot be developed until the law is changed[/p]
[p]Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of employment in subsistence buildings is considered 'protected', and cannot be hired by other buildings until the law is changed[/p]
[p]Colonial Administrations now have Subjecthood by default, along with an amendment to Subjecthood that reflects the racialisation of colonial governments[/p]
[p]Improved the range of laws supported by the Modernisation Movement[/p]
[p]Made the Gründerzeit Journal Entry display the current GDP in green if it is meeting the quarterly target, and red if not[/p]
[p]The Fragile Unity Journal Entry will now decrease if China has a successful coup[/p]
[p]Added new interactions for Government Petitions, to request an extension on the timer and to immediately dismiss the petition[/p]
[p]Added a starting anti-Hungarian lobby to Croatia[/p]
[p]Improved several pieces of narrative content pertaining to slave revolts, hooking in the new Slave Revolt Movement[/p]

[p]Added Wine potential to Diyarbakir[/p]
[p]Oman has been elevated to kingdom status[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]AI[/h2]

[p]Remade how the AI allocates resources for conscripts. The AI should be a lot more willing to deploy conscripts if it has no regulars at all.[/p]
[p]AI will now default to infantry conscripts if it can't access resources needed for the wanted type in the state they are being recruited[/p]
[p]The AI is now a lot more reluctant to accept renegotiated treaties that are strictly worse for them than what was already agreed on[/p]
[p]Maximum AI combined acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 25[/p]
[p]Maximum AI individual acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 10[/p]
[p]Made the AI more inclined to abolish certain very detrimental laws[/p]
[p]Lobby Opportunity Bonus acceptance for treaty articles is no longer reduced or removed when adding additional articles that the AI has a positive acceptance towards[/p]
[p]The AI will now be far more averse to trading massive volumes of individual goods via the "Goods Transfer" treaty article[/p]
[p]Made conservative AI less accepting of national-liberal movements[/p]
[p]France is now a lot more aggressive against a Haiti that unilaterally cancels debt payments, to a degree depending on the amount of debt canceled[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]Balance[/h2]

[p]Reduced base Company construction and throughput bonuses. With the introduction of Executives in particular they tend to rack up enough bonuses already.[/p]
[p]Changed several cultural acceptance triggers to average pop acceptance triggers, to address some issues with content requiring overly high cultural acceptance for a culture[/p]
[p]Political Movements will now also consider the conscription capacity of the uprising states if it's worth uprising[/p]
[p]The amount of free construction countries get now scales against their GDP, with a minimum of 2 free construction at 0 GDP and a maximum of 10 at 2 million GDP. This was done due to an excess of free construction in small countries resulting in areas such as India developing far too rapidly, combined with the increased viability for small countries to support Construction Sectors with the lowered employment to 1k. Construction Sectors now only cost 25 construction, to enable even countries with a minimal amount of free construction to build them in a reasonable amount of time.[/p]
[p]Added a Game Rule for whether base construction capacity should be scaled to GDP or not. By default, it is scaled for AI countries but always 10 for player countries, so that free construction can be reigned in without making tiny countries too tedious to play.[/p]
[p]The prestige from being leader goods producer now scales against the global GDP, starting low and increasing over time so that it can be relevant at all stages of the game without completely overpowering other factors in the early game[/p]
[p]Removed the multiplier on reinvestment from GDP, as what it was meant to simulate (foreign investment) is now an actual mechanic, and it resulted in far too rapid economic growth and contributed to the issue of too early disappearance of peasants. This change will slow down overall global GDP growth, making it more in line with historical GDP curves.[/p]
[p]Radicals no longer impact assimilation & conversion rates directly, as it also impacts fervor & obstinance which in turn impact assimilation & conversion rates[/p]
[p]Marginalized IGs with at least 2.5% support among political participants are now allowed to join parties. Interest Groups that are part of a party are no longer considered to be marginalized, even if they have low clout. This fixes an issue where IGs that were not already in a party would never receive votes and thus never become unmarginalized.[/p]
[p]Devastation now decays at an increased rate the higher it is, so that while it can still linger for a long time, it does not do so at full effect[/p]
[p]Toned down the infamy gain and effects from the "\[CULTURE] Horrors" event options[/p]
[p]Removed the Catalan, Galician, and Basque cultures from the Iberia formable country by default[/p]
[p]Changed default starting gold reserves from 0.5 \[50% capacity] to 0.25 \[25% capacity][/p]
[p]There is no longer a penalty to Import Trade Advantage for lacking interests, making small markets more vulnerable to having their local industry outcompeted by cheap imports[/p]
[p]When calculating the penalty on Export Trade Advantage for lacking interests, junior countries in a larger market can now use the Market Controller's interests in addition to their own[/p]
[p]The "Take State" subject interaction now generates far less Infamy[/p]
[p]Changed Isabel II's Interest Group to Petit-Bourgeoisie[/p]
[p]Losing wars to recognised powers, and going a long time without abolishing certain very backwards laws, will increase attraction to the Modernisation Movement[/p]
[p]Reduced the quarterly requirement for the Gründerzeit JE from 2.5% to 2%[/p]
[p]Increased popularity gain and loss from battlefield victories and defeats[/p]
[p]Reduced the direct increase of Serfdom and Manorialism to Landowners Political Strength, to balance against the impact of added restrictions on economic development[/p]
[p]Greatly reduced the penalties of the "Tihamah" state trait in Hedjaz[/p]
[p]Made Communists less tolerant of poor Labour Rights laws[/p]
[p]Aristocrats pop attraction to the Intelligentsia is now gated behind the Academia technology[/p]
[p]Arrange Accident can now be used to target heirs[/p]
[p]Haiti now suffers a penalty to Diplomatic Reputation when cancelling debt payments, which reduces their ability to sign treaties and get support in diplomatic plays[/p]
[p]Rosa Luxemburg will no longer support Polish nationalist movements[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]Art[/h2]

[p]Iberia and the Philippines now use the Latin American building set[/p]
[p]Added several new flags for Portugal[/p]
[p]Added red cassocks for Catholic Cardinals[/p]
[p]Added purple cassocks for Catholic Devout and Clergymen pops in December[/p]
[p]Added country-specific Presidential sashes to Latin American and Iberian countries[/p]
[p]Asian Animist Clergymen will now wear monk robes[/p]
[p]Updated French uniforms in the early game to include shakos[/p]
[p]Added military uniforms for Spanish and Portuguese Soldiers and Officers pops, as well as commanders and monarchs[/p]
[p]Improved the flag of the Federation of the Andes[/p]
[p]Added a new cosmetic tag for a State Atheist Holy Roman Empire[/p]
[p]Limited the use of the crown pop headgear to aristocrats of wealth 40 or above[/p]

[p]fixed a rare issue that could cause greatly degraded performance when opening the character panel[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]Modding[/h2]

[p]Enabled expandable databases allowing modders to inject values into them without having to replace the whole thing. Syntax uses prefixes like INJECT, REPLACE, TRY_INJECT, etc.[/p]
[p]Added a new database for Geographic Regions which is any combination of Strategic Regions or State Regions (Europe, africa, etc) and will automatically generate script lists for countries/states/state region/strategic regions/provinces. For example: any_country_in_africa.[/p]
[p]War Goals are now defined in script (and thus moddable). See war_goal_types.md for documentation.[/p]
[p]Journal Entries can now be set as 'contextless', aka global context. Contextless JEs are not associated with a specific country and there can only ever be one instance of them, but have expanded functionality that allows you to determine which countries are involved in (and thus able to interact with) the Journal Entry, and which countries can see the Journal Entry even if they are not involved in it. This makes it much easier to create JEs for historical situations whose context is not principally tied to a single country, and we plan to rework some of our existing content to use this new model going forward.[/p]
[p]Production Methods can now be unlocked or disallowed based on State Traits, Geographic Regions and Law Amendments[/p]
[p]Added modifiers for forcing subsidies on groups or types of buildings, `country__require_subsidies_bool`[/p]

[p]Modifiers for changing tariff rate for specific goods. `country___tariffs_rate_add`[/p]
[p]Replaced ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_ACROSS_HERITAGES with ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_GROUP and ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_TRAIT (Slave assimilation still will always require heritage group)[/p]
[p]Modifier types can now be flagged as script_only, this will suppress all 'invalid modifier' errors previously fired when modders added new modifiers[/p]
[p]State resource potentials (such as mining, agriculture etc) now uses building types instead of building groups. As a consequence, many single-building building groups have been removed or consolidated.[/p]
[p]Sorted out the jumbled and inconsistent mess of income/expenses triggers. There are now six properly functioning and localized triggers: total_income, total_expenses, fixed_income, fixed_expenses, total_net_income and fixed_net_income. Any previous uses of income, expenses and weekly_net_fixed_income will have to be updated to the new naming conventions.[/p]
[p]Added triggers stall_chance, stall_chance_without_enactment_modifier, stall_chance_for_law, and stall_chance_for_law_without_enactment_modifier[/p]

[p]Added state buy orders modifiers that add buy orders directly to a state, works the same way state sell orders modifiers do only with buy modifiers instead[/p]
[p]Save games should no longer crash if building types have been removed and renamed between saving & loading. An alias system has been created to be able to load renamed buildings into new saves, though it is not a perfect transition and some data in the save may be lost. The alias system does not work for database/setup definitions, only for saves.[/p]
[p]Added data functions in interface for accessing alerts & proposals that have been dismissed[/p]
[p]num_units_share now counts only the active army and raised conscripts[/p]
[p]Added building type value link required_construction[/p]
[p]Added new link value average_progressiveness, which calculates the average progressiveness of a character or interest group's ideologies, modulated by ideological_opinion_impact[/p]
[p]Renamed building types in the database to generally use a consistent singular format (ie, building_furniture_manufactory instead of furniture_manufacturies)[/p]
[p]It is now possible to add a should_popup_when_expiring = no flag to events, which makes them silently time out with the default option[/p]
[p]Added new effect set_character_as_executive[/p]
[p]set_character_as_ruler effect now also makes them the executive of the company owning the country, if the country is a chartered company[/p]
[p]Added a new text input type for treaty articles[/p]
[p]Added BuildingGroup to the script system[/p]
[p]JE Effect Outcome now have access to JE scope when generating the headers[/p]
[p]Added new market goods triggers is_exported_to and is_imported_from[/p]
[p]Added a Job Attractiveness modifier to buildings. Low Job Attractiveness will increase the wage a building needs to offer in order to be able to hire workers, while high Job Attractiveness decreases it.[/p]
[p]Added new effect retire_character[/p]
[p]Added TimeKeeper.GetCurrentDateWithDiff( int ) function[/p]
[p]Added DiplomaticPlay.GetInitiatorBackersBreakdown & DiplomaticPlay.GetTargetBackersBreakdown[/p]
[p]Exposed TopScope of player message items for better scriptability[/p]

[p]Added new modifier character_advancement_speed_mult[/p]
[p]Added support for deploy_to_front and teleport_to_front to take a base camp property[/p]

[p]
[/p][h2]Bugfixes[/h2]

[p]We have pushed a possible fix for the infamous 24H2 crash. If you previously experienced this crash and switched to Vulkan please try switching back to DX11 as it has better performance.[/p]
[p]Company Executive traits are now applied immediately as they should[/p]
[p]Civil War now properly calculates weekly their stockpile and conscription bonus from the movements momentum[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where a wargoal against country that left the war is still included in the peace deal proposal, preventing sending the peace offer[/p]
[p]Fixed an issue where formations in a lake had no supply[/p]
[p]Fixed an out of sync case related to Treaties[/p]
[p]Fixed an Out of Sync caused by transfer money treaty becoming invalid, most likely from a country being destroyed (but still alive)[/p]
[p]Fixed a couple of other Out of Sync cases that could inconsistently appear[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where production method effects wouldn't be applied to military units[/p]

[p]Made sure we subtract casualties from manpower when adding demoralized otherwise we could end up with more demoralized and casualties than there was total manpower[/p]

[p]Fixed a bug where sometimes countries could not start diplomatic plays if they and their target were 'on the fence' in the same play[/p]

Dev Diary #170 – Iberian Twilight & Update 1.12 “Chá de Tília” Changelog

[p][/p][p]¡Hola a todos! ¡Feliz jueves![/p][p][/p][p]Next week we release Iberian Twilight on December 11th around 16:00 CET, but before then we have the traditional changelog before release, going through all the features coming with both Update 1.12 and Iberian Twilight. Of course, this includes achievements for both Update 1.12 and the Immersion Pack.
[/p][p]This time we have named the update ‘Chá de Tília’, also known as Linden Tea. A comforting tea with a sweet aroma, derived from Linden tree flowers, common in both Portugal and Spain. Delicious!
[/p][p]Enough about tea, for now, and moving on to important topics. Please remember that, as we mentioned in Dev Diary 164, and wish to reiterate now:
[/p][h3]THIS UPDATE WILL BREAK YOUR MODS [/h3][h2][/h2][p]This is due to the addition of Database Entry Modes, introduced into our scripting language with EU5, and brought to Victoria 3 with this Update. Please check out the full diary to see how they work. [/p][p][/p][p]We have also been working with Chris/Bahmut of modding coop fame to help get the modding digest for 1.12 prepared, covering all changes for modding so it is ready before release and to let modders start to update their mods for Update 1.12. By the time this dev diary goes live the digest should also be out on the Modding Coop Discord Channel or its Github.[/p][p][/p][p]Also, for those encountering the infamous 24h2 crash, we may have a possible fix which is included in this update when it goes live on December 11th.[/p][p][/p][p]Then moving on, you can see a brief summary of Iberian Twilight below in the infographic:

[/p][p]The Spanish Lake[/p][p]As Spain, complete the Reconquista Journal Entry.[/p][p][/p][p]
[/p][p]Regeneration[/p][p]As Spain, complete the Economic Regeneration Journal Entry without reducing objectives or employing creative accounting.[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][p]A Las Barricadas[/p][p]As Spain, switch to an Anarchist revolution or secession, and win the ensuing conflict.[/p][p][/p][p]

[/p][h2]Changelog[/h2][p]
[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h2]Features[/h2]

[p]Countries can now Negotiate with Interest Groups in order to better the chance of law enactment[/p]
[p]Added Law Amendments, objects attached to a country's laws which may modify the effects of the law[/p]
[p]Added new Production Methods for all plantations, a manufacturing category for tobacco, and a refining category for sugar[/p]
[p]Added ten new achievements, five in Update 1.12 and five in Iberian Twilight[/p]
[p]Countries with elections now have an 'Electoral Confidence' value that goes from 0 to 100%, representing the electorate's belief that any elections held will be free and fair. Meddling with elections will decrease Electoral Confidence, while allowing them to proceed without intervention will increase it. If Electoral Confidence is low, Legitimacy and Political Strength from Votes will be reduced to a degree depending on your laws and amendments. Generally, the more comprehensive your voting rights, the more severe the effects of low Electoral Confidence.[/p]
[p]Added the Tradition of Free Elections amendment, which blocks electoral manipulation, makes the enactment of autocratic laws more difficult, and increases base legitimacy[/p]
[p]Added 3 free historical companies[/p]
[p]Added the Kaiserforum, including a related Journal Entry and events (National Awakening)[/p]
[p]Added a new Ruler Selector to the country selection screen. The Ruler Selector only shows when the Ruler Selector Game Rule is Enabled and is disabled for Multiplayer.[/p]

[p]Greatly reworked starting wine production areas, and shifted more production towards France, Italy, and Iberia[/p]
[p]Added Esperanto hub names to Iberia[/p]
[p]Added German state name variants for Spanish and Portuguese states[/p]
[p]Reworked coups to be centered around dissatisfied military commanders, and broadened the laws they may establish[/p]
[p]Devastation is now per-state instead of a state region so your pesky neighbor who is constantly at war and whom you are sharing a region with, won't be affecting you anymore[/p]
[p]Added support for displaying full character names in the order determined by their culture. I.e. Tokugawa Ienari instead of Ienari Tokugawa. This is set per culture and defaults to first name + last name.[/p]
[p]Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Manchu, Hungarian, Khmer, and Champa cultures now make use of Eastern naming order[/p]
[p]Interest Groups will now change only ever join or leave parties when an election campaign starts. However, the restrictions on Interest Groups leaving or joining parties in government is lifted so parties can be freely recomposed in any way when the election campaign starts (and only then). The only exception to this is under Single Party State, where IGs are allowed to join the only legal party at any time.[/p]
[p]Certain very backwards laws, such as Serfdom, Isolationism, Peasant Levies, and Traditionalism, will now consolidate all liberal pops into the Modernisation Movement. More liberal and communist movements will not be available until these laws are removed.[/p]

[p]Under Guild System and Traditionalism, buildings now have a greater chance to 'self-invest', ie for new autonomously invested levels to be owned by the Workforce, and a lower chance to be privatized[/p]
[p]Made the Geheime Staatskonferenz modifier for Austria into a starting Amendment which increases Legitimacy, decreases law enactment success chance, and blocks government reform for as long as it is active[/p]
[p]Reworked the political setup of West Africa, and added a bunch of dynamic names to the region[/p]
[p]Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of arable land in incorporated states is now reserved for subsistence buildings and cannot be developed until the law is changed[/p]
[p]Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of employment in subsistence buildings is considered 'protected', and cannot be hired by other buildings until the law is changed[/p]
[p]Colonial Administrations now have Subjecthood by default, along with an amendment to Subjecthood that reflects the racialisation of colonial governments[/p]
[p]Improved the range of laws supported by the Modernisation Movement[/p]
[p]Made the Gründerzeit Journal Entry display the current GDP in green if it is meeting the quarterly target, and red if not[/p]
[p]The Fragile Unity Journal Entry will now decrease if China has a successful coup[/p]
[p]Added new interactions for Government Petitions, to request an extension on the timer and to immediately dismiss the petition[/p]
[p]Added a starting anti-Hungarian lobby to Croatia[/p]
[p]Improved several pieces of narrative content pertaining to slave revolts, hooking in the new Slave Revolt Movement[/p]

[p]Added Wine potential to Diyarbakir[/p]
[p]Oman has been elevated to kingdom status[/p]

[p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]AI[/h2]

[p]Remade how the AI allocates resources for conscripts. The AI should be a lot more willing to deploy conscripts if it has no regulars at all.[/p]
[p]AI will now default to infantry conscripts if it can't access resources needed for the wanted type in the state they are being recruited[/p]
[p]The AI is now a lot more reluctant to accept renegotiated treaties that are strictly worse for them than what was already agreed on[/p]
[p]Maximum AI combined acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 25[/p]
[p]Maximum AI individual acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 10[/p]
[p]Made the AI more inclined to abolish certain very detrimental laws[/p]
[p]Lobby Opportunity Bonus acceptance for treaty articles is no longer reduced or removed when adding additional articles that the AI has a positive acceptance towards[/p]
[p]The AI will now be far more averse to trading massive volumes of individual goods via the "Goods Transfer" treaty article[/p]
[p]Made conservative AI less accepting of national-liberal movements[/p]
[p]France is now a lot more aggressive against a Haiti that unilaterally cancels debt payments, to a degree depending on the amount of debt canceled[/p]

[p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]Balance[/h2]

[p]Reduced base Company construction and throughput bonuses. With the introduction of Executives in particular they tend to rack up enough bonuses already.[/p]
[p]Changed several cultural acceptance triggers to average pop acceptance triggers, to address some issues with content requiring overly high cultural acceptance for a culture[/p]
[p]Political Movements will now also consider the conscription capacity of the uprising states if it's worth uprising[/p]
[p]The amount of free construction countries get now scales against their GDP, with a minimum of 2 free construction at 0 GDP and a maximum of 10 at 10 million GDP. This was done due to an excess of free construction in small countries resulting in areas such as India developing far too rapidly, combined with the increased viability for small countries to support Construction Sectors with the lowered employment to 1k. Construction Sectors now only cost 25 construction, to enable even countries with a minimal amount of free construction to build them in a reasonable amount of time.[/p]
[p]Added a Game Rule for whether base construction capacity should be scaled to GDP or not. By default, it is scaled for AI countries but always 10 for player countries, so that free construction can be reigned in without making tiny countries too tedious to play.[/p]
[p]The prestige from being leader goods producer now scales against the global GDP, starting low and increasing over time so that it can be relevant at all stages of the game without completely overpowering other factors in the early game[/p]
[p]Radicals no longer impact assimilation & conversion rates directly, as it also impacts fervor & obstinance which in turn impact assimilation & conversion rates[/p]
[p]Marginalized IGs with at least 2.5% support among political participants are now allowed to join parties. Interest Groups that are part of a party are no longer considered to be marginalized, even if they have low clout. This fixes an issue where IGs that were not already in a party would never receive votes and thus never become unmarginalized.[/p]
[p]Devastation now decays at an increased rate the higher it is, so that while it can still linger for a long time, it does not do so at full effect[/p]
[p]Toned down the infamy gain and effects from the "\[CULTURE] Horrors" event options[/p]
[p]Removed the Catalan, Galician, and Basque cultures from the Iberia formable country by default[/p]
[p]Changed default starting gold reserves from 0.5 \[50% capacity] to 0.25 \[25% capacity][/p]
[p]There is no longer a penalty to Import Trade Advantage for lacking interests, making small markets more vulnerable to having their local industry outcompeted by cheap imports[/p]
[p]When calculating the penalty on Export Trade Advantage for lacking interests, junior countries in a larger market can now use the Market Controller's interests in addition to their own[/p]
[p]The "Take State" subject interaction now generates far less Infamy[/p]
[p]Changed Isabel II's Interest Group to Petit-Bourgeoisie[/p]
[p]Losing wars to recognised powers, and going a long time without abolishing certain very backwards laws, will increase attraction to the Modernisation Movement[/p]
[p]Reduced the quarterly requirement for the Gründerzeit JE from 2.5% to 2%[/p]
[p]Increased popularity gain and loss from battlefield victories and defeats[/p]
[p]Reduced the direct increase of Serfdom and Manorialism to Landowners Political Strength, to balance against the impact of added restrictions on economic development[/p]
[p]Greatly reduced the penalties of the "Tihamah" state trait in Hedjaz[/p]
[p]Made Communists less tolerant of poor Labour Rights laws[/p]
[p]Aristocrats pop attraction to the Intelligentsia is now gated behind the Academia technology[/p]
[p]Arrange Accident can now be used to target heirs[/p]
[p]Haiti now suffers a penalty to Diplomatic Reputation when cancelling debt payments, which reduces their ability to sign treaties and get support in diplomatic plays[/p]
[p]Rosa Luxemburg will no longer support Polish nationalist movements[/p][p][/p]

[p][/p][h2]Art[/h2]

[p]Iberia and the Philippines now use the Latin American building set[/p]
[p]Added several new flags for Portugal[/p]

[p]Added a new cosmetic tag for a State Atheist Holy Roman Empire[/p]

[p]Added the Factory Councils law, a Labour Associations law gained by socialist revolutions that represents workers' seizure of industry[/p]
[p]Added a new Earthquake Harvest Condition[/p]
[p]Added additional popularity modifiers to some commander skills, so that skilled generals and admirals are recognized by the public for being so[/p]
[p]Reworked the Appoint Governor diplomatic action and added a diplomatic action for a colony to request one[/p]

[p]Slightly improved how modifier breakdowns are done[/p]
[p]Made countries tooltippable in the same target wargoal error[/p]

[p]Nudged the Power Blocs mapmode to its correct place in the alphabet (by renaming "All Power Blocs" mapmode to "Power Blocs - All")[/p]

[p][/p][h2][/h2][h2]Modding[/h2]

[p]Enabled expandable databases allowing modders to inject values into them without having to replace the whole thing. Syntax uses prefixes like INJECT, REPLACE, TRY_INJECT, etc.[/p]
[p]Added a new database for Geographic Regions which is any combination of Strategic Regions or State Regions (Europe, africa, etc) and will automatically generate script lists for countries/states/state region/strategic regions/provinces. For example: any_country_in_africa.[/p]
[p]War Goals are now defined in script (and thus moddable). See war_goal_types.md for documentation.[/p]
[p]Journal Entries can now be set as 'contextless', aka global context. Contextless JEs are not associated with a specific country and there can only ever be one instance of them, but have expanded functionality that allows you to determine which countries are involved in (and thus able to interact with) the Journal Entry, and which countries can see the Journal Entry even if they are not involved in it. This makes it much easier to create JEs for historical situations whose context is not principally tied to a single country, and we plan to rework some of our existing content to use this new model going forward.[/p]

[p]Replaced ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_ACROSS_HERITAGES with ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_GROUP and ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_TRAIT (Slave assimilation still will always require heritage group)[/p]
[p]Modifier types can now be flagged as script_only, this will suppress all 'invalid modifier' errors previously fired when modders added new modifiers[/p]
[p]State resource potentials (such as mining, agriculture etc) now uses building types instead of building groups. As a consequence, many single-building building groups have been removed or consolidated.[/p]
[p]Sorted out the jumbled and inconsistent mess of income/expenses triggers. There are now six properly functioning and localized triggers: total_income, total_expenses, fixed_income, fixed_expenses, total_net_income and fixed_net_income. Any previous uses of income, expenses and weekly_net_fixed_income will have to be updated to the new naming conventions.[/p]
[p]Added triggers stall_chance, stall_chance_without_enactment_modifier, stall_chance_for_law, and stall_chance_for_law_without_enactment_modifier[/p]

[p]Added state buy orders modifiers that add buy orders directly to a state, works the same way state sell orders modifiers do only with buy modifiers instead[/p]
[p]Save games should no longer crash if building types have been removed and renamed between saving & loading. An alias system has been created to be able to load renamed buildings into new saves, though it is not a perfect transition and some data in the save may be lost. The alias system does not work for database/setup definitions, only for saves.[/p]
[p]Added data functions in interface for accessing alerts & proposals that have been dismissed[/p]
[p]num_units_share now counts only the active army and raised conscripts[/p]
[p]Added building type value link required_construction[/p]
[p]Added new link value average_progressiveness, which calculates the average progressiveness of a character or interest group's ideologies, modulated by ideological_opinion_impact[/p]
[p]Renamed building types in the database to generally use a consistent singular format (ie, building_furniture_manufactory instead of furniture_manufacturies)[/p]
[p]It is now possible to add a should_popup_when_expiring = no flag to events, which makes them silently time out with the default option[/p]
[p]Added new effect set_character_as_executive[/p]
[p]set_character_as_ruler effect now also makes them the executive of the company owning the country, if the country is a chartered company[/p]
[p]Added a new text input type for treaty articles[/p]
[p]Added BuildingGroup to the script system[/p]
[p]JE Effect Outcome now have access to JE scope when generating the headers[/p]
[p]Added new market goods triggers is_exported_to and is_imported_from[/p]
[p]Added a Job Attractiveness modifier to buildings. Low Job Attractiveness will increase the wage a building needs to offer in order to be able to hire workers, while high Job Attractiveness decreases it.[/p]
[p]Added new effect retire_character[/p]
[p]Added TimeKeeper.GetCurrentDateWithDiff( int ) function[/p]
[p]Added DiplomaticPlay.GetInitiatorBackersBreakdown & DiplomaticPlay.GetTargetBackersBreakdown[/p]
[p]Exposed TopScope of player message items for better scriptability[/p]
[p]Added new market goods links largest_exporting_market and largest_importing_market[/p]
[p]Added per-pop type standard of living modifiers for buildings[/p]
[p]Added new modifier character_advancement_speed_mult[/p]

[p]Company Executive traits are now applied immediately as they should[/p]
[p]Civil War now properly calculates weekly their stockpile and conscription bonus from the movements momentum[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where a wargoal against country that left the war is still included in the peace deal proposal, preventing sending the peace offer[/p]
[p]Fixed an out of sync case related to Treaties[/p]
[p]Fixed an Out of Sync caused by transfer money treaty becoming invalid, most likely from a country being destroyed (but still alive)[/p]
[p]Fixed a couple of other Out of Sync cases that could inconsistently appear[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where production method effects wouldn't be applied to military units[/p]
[p]Fixed a bug where the unit_supply_consumption_mult modifier did not actually do anything[/p]
