Just a few words concerning the upcoming version of CK3, available tomorrow.

I foresee Dark Ages to be a challenge to compatch with tomorrow's update. Unfortunately I will not be in Lisbon by the last half of next week and out of sight of my laptop, which means I will have until Wednesday morning to be able to make everything work between Dark Ages and the new patch. I'll try my best but cannot promise anything. In this light, there is a possibility that Dark Ages will remain incompatible with latest version of CK3 - presumably 1.16 - until around the second week of May.

Happy gaming and watch out for the Mongols!

Hi Cardolam! Any plans on nerfing tributes? At the moment, collecting 50% tax kind of makes feudal contracts a joke. And they barely break away.

I am nerfing herd growth at this time. But I am certainly very willling to address tributes after this.

EDIT: Done, together with other sorely needed nerfs for Nomads.

If you are reading this and playing the Mongols, I very much want feedback on balance changes done, namely on herd modifiers during Zud or Severe Droughts, as well as the plague event afecting the herd.

Hi, I have been playing the Khirgiz in 1066, the herd modifiers seem too harsh. Starting with severe drought followed by Zud means I can barely mitigate the fall in numbers and most rulers around me are without a single point of herd after 10 years.

Awesome mod, by the way.

Thanks for the feedback!

Have you experienced the event "Wrath of the Gods"?

Back to the drawing board, meanwhile...
