	EU2 v1.06b public beta patch now available Remove this text

For anyone interested, more information can be found here:

It looks like stability costs are now affected by serfdom again, plus quite a few other modifications as well.

Mmmm?
Is this compatible with saves from 1.06?
I'm in my very first GC and don't want to mess it up, or no more than I've managed to by myself anyway.

That's the problem with bleeping Paradox. They patch faster than I play!

Yeah, me too. I've been playing as Muscowy until I got the Empire of Russia event in 1520 and became Russia. For me, the stability fix would greatly impact my game because I've almost completely freed my serfs and my stability costs are already huge, what with the enormous size of my domain plus having a few Muslim and Catholic provinces (which really ratchets up the stability cost). Also I read that having badboy now increases stability costs as well. I think I'm going to just start a new GC and employ a different strategy.

Good, I held off playing EU2 with the new patch until they sorted out that issue.

They're adding a whole bundle of new features, such as badboy rating affecting stability costs, badboy decreasing depending on your monarchs diplomatic value and fortress sizes being limited by the tax base of the province.

Couple other notable changes:
Fortress cost affected by offensive/defensive slider. Monarch military skill influences troop morale.

All these changes make sense to me, provided of course that they're implemented correctly (i.e., bug-free).

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

You shouldn't count on finishing a whole GC with the beta patches though... Johan is publishing a new one too often for that! But do use them. They are very good, although there are of course some bugs to be fixed left.

Me likes it.

My game as Brandenburg is shaping up to be very interesting. Unfortunately going 1000 troops over my limit added three to my support costs though...
