Good day all. It's everyone's favourite time of the week: EU4 Dev Diary time. We've covered the three meatiest changes coming in Dharma in our previous diaries, that is to say the Government Overhaul, Policies rework and the revamped Estates. We'll likely go back over these in a future dev diary to make something of a "cliff notes" of big changes in 1.26 and Dharma.
That said, we're still far from done with all the neat things to show you in our upcoming Mughals update and the Dharma expansion. Today, I'll show you a feature from each.
Firstly, as I teased in an earlier tweet we are adding a new mapmode with the update: one that has been requested since time immemorial. The Truce Mapmode.
Ottomans are under-powered: pretty much no targets in 1444
Implemented with pride by the Caped Crusader @Duplo the truce mapmode allows you to see all nations with whome you have a truce with in a gradual tone of red. As the truce comes to an end, the brightness of the red dissipates. Additionally, nations that you have a casus belli on are marked in green stripes. Grey nations on the map naturally are ones you have no truce with.
Here's a more "hands on" example of how it looks in play.
Nepal is an awesome formable in 1.26. The Prussia of the East.
No more will you be forced to click on all nations around you to figure out if they are fair game without chugging that -5 stab hit (minus three with Diplomatic ideas) The information is right here, and this mapmode is available to all with the 1.26 Mughal Update.
Another change coming along, this time with the Dharma expansion, is a change to how one Autonomously Suppresses Rebels. Now your army can be told exactly which areas to hunt rebels in, and the selected areas will have their unrest reduction spread out in those areas
It'll take Lithuania some time to get to India. In the meantime, they'll get their internal affairs in order.
In this new rebel suppression mode, which replaces the old auto-rebel-hunt for Dharma owners, armies will reduce unrest in the selected areas by up to 5 and hunt down any revolts strictly within the selected areas while avoiding enemy armies. Where-ever you give them this command will be treated as their "home" province and they will return to there upon defeating any rebel scum. In this mode, their unrest reduction is increased five-fold, but still capped at 5 and will be spread out across the provinces. If you want to have an army suppressing a large, revolting area, better make sure it's a good one.
That'll be it from me this week. While there's much more I'd love to be telling you about next week, I'll be handing the mic over to the talented @Audiomancer who is eager to tell you about the audio improvements coming in 1.26 which have been a long time coming.
