Shipbuilding in Constantinople should actually be higher than that. The Byzantine navy had its ups and downs, but it was hugely important to the empire. The Arabs should also be very good at building ships.
I think the game reflects that by giving Constantinople a lot of shipyards regardless of the tech
Though their galleys were very different from the Norse longships
So, will heliocenticism now give economic points? I figured the military bonus was for navigation, so with boats in economy now...
If you're reworking tactics, is there any chance Berserker Charge will be made a little less awful? It's huge defense debuff makes it so that North Germanic players often actively seek out foreign culture commanders for their heavy infantry entirely because they can't roll the tactic.
Will this stuff be in the next patch, or will there be a bugfixing patch between now and this stuff?
Hopefully soon, waiting on a particular bugfix that I am told is likely to be in the next patch.
While making terrain more important to battles is a welcome change, this aspect of CK2's combat tactics (bolded in the quote above) has always bothered me. A lot. For example, if you roll a skirmish tactic that makes your archers the attackers, and horse archers and light cavalry non-attackers, then your heavy troops (ignored by the tactic) do more damage in the skirmish phase than your light cavalry. This is a completely nonsensical result. But on the other hand, if the tactic disables your heavy troops then why bother giving them skirmish attack values? Having a tactic disable half your army is also bad design because it encourages stacking a single unit type and trying to game the tactic availability so you always roll something that lets all your units fight.
I really think the combat tactics themselves should not disable any troops, should give smaller bonuses and last a shorter number of ticks, but have larger "counter" effects against other tactics and larger effects from general skill.
Hugh, that's gonna be a lot to update for my mod.
I mean I guess its the right approach to make vanilla tech more relevant but why do you do this to me???

This dev team have a great problem.
Never stops to announce great things.
Now i will not play ck2 until this its released

Are there any plans to change cultural retinues for cultures that stand to lose a lot by having light cav retinues? Maybe as tech increases, they get slowly changed into heavy cav?
As shown in the ready of the DD, the Melee tech increases melee damage. The Trade tech is already in the game (it lets you upgrade ports and improves trade posts).
I hope that MR will get some changes in the update and won't get broken even more with the new tech xD
Will this actually help the ship issue in the earlier start dates though? Most pagans other than Norse do not have shipbuilding technology in the earlier starts, especially 769. You can also have situations where you start on an island but do not have any ships (looking at you Socotra). With shipbuilding in the Military tree you could use the Scholarship focus to earn a bunch of military tech points and just buy Shipbuilding 1, but now you can't (Scholarship focus only lets you choose between Military and Cultural tech points, not Economic).
I do agree that City+Trade should be merged instead of City+Temple. As a feudal ruler I mainly invest in 3 economic techs: Castle Infrastructure, Improved Keeps, and Construction. As a merchant republic I invest in 5: all of the above (I keep cities as county capitals but build extra castles in my capital for levy+retinue) + City Infrastructure and Trade Practices. Having City+Trade merged would be much more convenient and make more sense thematically.
I completely agree with both points. Tribal retinues already need to be tuned down a bit and special units need to have their tactics fixed. As it is right now, cultural retinues that include horse archers or elephants have garbage tactics. This means that for the following cultures you are much better off ignoring their cultural retinue (possibly even ignoring their cultural building) and just using generic retinues:
Armenian
Greek
Georgian
Gothic
Turkish
Pecheneg
Cuman
Khazar
Bolghar
Avar
Karluk
Kirghiz
Uyghur
Mongol
Khitan
Persian
Sogdian
Tocharian
Kurdish
Afghan
Baloch
Saka
Bengali
Oriya
Assamese
Hindustani
Gujarati
Panjabi
Rajput
Sindhi
Marathi
Sinhala
Nepali
Tamil
Telugu
Kannada
I do feel strongly about something.
I suspect it's never going to happen, but I'd really wish for more ways to lose technological progress. I think it would be more fun if tech was less of a linear progression, and more something that reflects the long-term health and prosperity of your empire.

That would be nice.
Declaring Holy Wars could reduce Tolerance for example.
