Still some missing.

 

[Herennius]

Does the new update version 1.14.0 mean that my game save file that I created on 1.13.0 will break and be unplayable if I update?

I already continued my RtP save for a cpiple of years - so far no problems.

If you encounter any issues after today’s update, please disable all mods and ensure you’re playing on a fresh save file. If the issue persists, then please submit a bug report via our Bug Report board here on the official forums.

Why the chariot races change? Just make it a really small amount instead of getting rid of it; it makes sense for there to be some

 

[DeanTheDull]

Because catholics were the main people making beer in monasteries and later towns, as big business

This would be a reason to have Monasticism, as a tenet, enable breweries, as opposed to Catholicism, the religion. The big business interest and the presence of monasteries weren't unique to Catholicism per see, but to the role of monasteries itself.

Which, to be clear, I think is a fine basis! It's an econ buff to an otherwise often underwhelming tenet. But it's also not Catholic-specific.

 

[Kriss79]

Any chance that we can have mead line buildings instead beer related ones in norse and slavic cultures ?Or fermentated horse milk in cultures of the steppes, hordes etc ?

 

[Kriss79]

Nice update , so is there a chance for huge update in heraldry area ? We have so many missing figures/patterns/emblems, that even separate pack can be good idea. Also coronation ( similar to this from Crusader Kings II Holy Fury ) Would be appretiated as activit
y type related to legitimacy and prestige pursuits

 

[Tensar]

This DLC seem empty, wards&wardens was a lot better

 

[Scanz]

so how stable is this version so far

Very stable.
I just finish my campaign as Georgia Tamara in two years, when someone cut my head off when I'm slept

 

[Kriss79]

This DLC seem empty, wards&wardens was a lot better

At least costs also less than not so much full of content but slighlty overpriced Legends of the Dead

 

[GhostDanny]

The nerf to visiting places is quite painful to my preferred playstyle.
100 skill points less quickly means one or more fewer perks.

But monasticism is used by 101 as a tenant

 

[DeanTheDull]

Monasticism is also used by non-Catholics as a tenant. Just within Christianity, Orthodoxy and Insularism and Coptic do as well.

Exactly

 

[DeanTheDull]

Exactly

...and thus the question returns to why Catholic-only.

Catholic being the biggest religion in Europe is a historical circumstance the player can change. The justification of business interests is indepednent of that, and the justification of monasteries is a tenet-dynamic, not a Catholic-unique dynamic.

You think brewing would continue if Islam took over? Or are u hypothesizing how brewing culture would change if either a heresy took over or paganism stomped out Catholicism? The differences in Irish monastery practices might hinder brewing culture.

Personally I look forward to coptic monasteries having the slave castrator building

Don't you think noble houses in administrative empires still need some balance points?

First of all, it doesn't make much sense to separate the estate from the head of the house or the only landowner in the house.

Secondly, these "estate-only vassals" are a bit annoying. Some of them are even powerful and plot against your heir. There are tools to ravage other people's estates and such, but by simply granting them independence, you leave them as a vagabond.

Third, I think there's a problem with the generation and transfer of these subjects. I managed to conquer an administrative Arab empire, and I was transferred dozens of estate-only subjects who hated me. Additionally, if you use viceroys, they end up with their own estate subjects, and in large empires, it becomes annoying to have to keep transferring de jure subjects to vassals

 

[DeanTheDull]

You think brewing would continue if Islam took over?

None of the base game Islamic faiths have Monasticism as a tenet, so no.

Rather, I think that it's weird that Catholicism-Monasticism is identified with brewing, but equally Monastic Christian faiths such Orthodoxy, Insular, Coptic, Krstjani, and Nestorainism- none of whom I am aware of as notably anti-alcohol- are just as no-brewing as Islam.

It's specifically that this is Catholic-only that comes off as weird (and bad*).

It would make more sense to me if it was a Tenet thing, or even an all-of-Christianity thing.

(And since I tend to prefer that bonuses not be reserved inherently for specific religious groups, but be more dependent on tenets or other particulars, I'd rather it not be a Christian-only thing.)




*Bad since it makes Catholicism mechanically stronger in a way other Christian religions can't be without culture-traditions, even with identical tenets in the same geography.

Or are u hypothesizing how brewing culture would change if either a heresy took over or paganism stomped out Catholicism? The differences in Irish monastery practices might hinder brewing culture.

But it wouldn't be Irish practices. The exact same Irish monastery with the exact same monks in the exact same part of Ireland can conceivably go from being able to appreciate a good brew to being unable to make it to relearning in the course of a ruler's requests for conversions.

This is intended. If you can lose your duchy just like that, you need a way to bounce back. In feudal europe youre more likely to keep your duchy if you do no crimes, so becoming just an adventurer is fine
