EU4 - Development Diary - 18th of June 2019

Since we've shown all of the map changes, here's the whole thing in one image:

@neondt, @Caligula Caesar, @otaats , is there any chance that the map is not final? Do not ruin my hope of more realist Prussia with still (I hope) possible update of Teutons!

Only minor changes are likely to be made from here. The Baltic beyond the coast of Germany is not part of the scope of this update.

Have Greece and Romania formation requirements been changed ?

Also why no new provinces for Hungary proper.

We're looking into various formation decisions. We'd like to move towards requirements in the style of: "own X key province as well as at least Y provinces in the Z region"

We feel that the Hungary patch left the Hungarian province setup in a good place in terms of performance and province density. We see no need to fix what isn't broken. Though we'll certainly be looking at other kinds of content for Hungary.

Does Herzegovina start with an Alliance with Aragon? As I understand it earlier in 1444 Aragon had signed a treaty with them where they were supposedly Aragons vassal in exchange for military assistance. Being an Aragonese vassal probably isn't a good way to view it, but an Alliance might make sense.

We thought about it. For a few seconds. It would very definitely be a bad idea.

Yea, why no update for SE-Asia. If you are going to listen to the community as you said, you should have made updates to SE-Asia in the Europe patch.

Surely an update to SE Asia would be more fitting in a patch/DLC devoted to the region?

If there’s a summer break will it still be released for autumn/end of 2019? Or have i got the release expectation date wrong? Good stuff btw

Paradox pretty much has all of July off every year, so I'm sure that was factored into their original estimates.

Unless I'm mistaken, this DD was from back in July, and thus slated to come with the Manchu patch, yes?

From the dev diary post at the start of the thread:

This will be our final dev diary on map changes for the European update.

So, no these changes are for the European update not the Manchu patch.
