	Crusader Kings 1.03 Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

http://www.europa-universalis.com/f...ad.php?t=150519

All I can say is, Holy crap.

Huge improvements. Huge additions. I haven't read it all, but here are some choice bits:


- Implemented a bilateral (*not* multilateral!) alliance system between characters. [!!!]

- Fifteen new potential Kingdoms and Duchies have been added to the game.

- If a province is taken by a religious enemy, an active regiment from that province now becomes a mercenary regiment under its former owner’s control instead of disbanding.

- Crusades expectations are now reduced by the number of provinces in your demesne that have non-Christian religion (-0.2 piety for each). Note that if the province subsequently converts to Christianity this reduction is lost (but you get a one-time piety bonus for having done so).

- Papal “bishopric theft” has been eliminated. Upon election, the new Pope’s former demesne provinces are returned to his former liege. [yes, yes, yes! Finally!]

- Bad boy now reduced by 33% when a ruler dies.


- The AI is now better at mobilizing its troops, in attacking enemies, selecting its military targets and in defending itself and its vassals. This is a leaner and meaner military AI.

- The AI is now considerably better (and more reasonable) when negotiating a peace.


- The AI may now assassinate anyone assassinating it, or assassinate anyone far above the badboy limit.

Downloading 1.03a is a must, if anyone wants to enjoy a decent measure of stability....1.03 was apparently launched a bit too early, but thankfully they managed to fix it quite speedily.

That aside, the patch's indeed quite impressive.

A magnificent patch indeed! And it makes the game harder than before, that's good...

And if it wasn't enough, Paradox just released a 1.03b, fixing the following problems:

quote: Special 1.03b Update Information We've been working on our patch-installer to make sure that all files installs properly now. The 1.03b fixes is as follows. - Fixed a major problem which caused AI to never select option A in an event. - Fixed a problem with a broken dynasty in 1066 which caused ctd's at saves and births. - Fixed a major problem which caused truces involving anyone not being an independent ruler to poof immediately. - Alliances within a realm should no longer poof immediately. - Fixed the problem if a vassal to the Pope gets elected.

Great!

Seems to make playing in spain next to impossible even on weakling AI, which I kinda think is a biiit of an overreaction. Typical Paradox in other words

Yeah, typical them. But I guess they'll modify it with 1.04.
