Good day all. Today is our first development diary post-release of Cradle of Civilization. I'll be talking about our immediate plans going forward and what can be expected with regards to future plans, bugfixes and looking towards 1.24.

So Cradle of Civilization was released last week and we're very pleased to read your feedback on it. It's heartwarming to see our game still growing in popularity and our team has been taking on what we've read from you. It has also been great fun to see so many people playing in 1.23 enjoying the work we've put in the Middle East. Many players advancing forward as the Mamluks or taking a minor of their choice to form Persia from the disintegrating Timurid Empire has been a real pat on the back (I never imagined Mamluks could become such a popular pick in EU's lifetime)


With regard to what we are up to now and our future plans, we are working our way through bugs reported from the community with a view to releasing an opt-in patch to fix some of the more glaring issues in 1.23 / Cradle of Civilization. This patch will be available, if all goes to plan, within the week.


When the immediate glaring issues are stamped down on, we will continue working on other issues as well as some enhancements for the game which will come in the 1.24 update. 1.24 will be a free update to the game much like the Hungary and Denmark updates, containing bugfixes and perhaps a few added goodies.


As you may have noticed, we have been giving our update versions names for a while now. So far we've had Prussia, Denmark, Ming, Hungary, Russia and Persia. Where will we look to next?

Where indeed?
 
In my opinion you should add a dynastic system like in CK2, but much better designed to the times in EU4. Maybe some dynastic tree window. Specially about the Habsburg and Jagiellon houses.
 
Malaya doesn't need an overhaul as badly as the Balkans do right now. I hope you'll give the Balkans some attention in the next patch, at least.
 
It would be interesting if they do an event for Spain to get the Phillipines. Unsure how I feel about it but Portugal gets Goa, why doesn’t Spain get the Phillipines.
 
South-East Asia could use some sweet, sweet love! There's so much potential for development, and aside from a reworking of all nations to be more historically accurate than they currently are, there could be some serious adjustments to stimulate both the rise of nations and the social concepts at the time. An ambitious goal would be some form of implementing the mandala systems which, given the already present absolutism system, could be interesting.

There is a huge number of historical events - the 15th century and onwards was highly significant for SEA. The rise of Ayutthaya and Burma (btw I'm still salty about how bad and historically inaccurate their ideas are) and the brawl for Cambodia that followed (the Khmer should take the same paths as Byzantium - an embittered and humiliated former great power looking for revenge) the Malay peninsula, particular the medieval economic miracles that happened down there, and the various minor kingdoms/tribes within the Philippines and their reaction to Western colonialism.
