Hi guys.

This is a very short development diary, but I just want you to know that the team is busy working on a 1.03 patch, which will be deployed to QA today, with a goal of releasing it next week.

The education events have been fixed, the expose plot costing you honor is fixed, we've added the mountain pass between Kai & Shinano. Our devs have been busy trying to adress all reports so that we get a polished 1.3 out.

There will be no new features for 1.3, as its mostly about fixing the problems you have reported.

Have a great weekend, and enjoy Sengoku!
 
I think this patch release system is better than that of other paradox games such as EU3 (there were so many "beta" patches...).
 
Would this patch be compatible with the saves from 1.02?

Compatible is one thing, bug free another. We try to keep the save games valid between patches. 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 loads as far as I know, but some bugs need us to add things to savegames when fixing. Those fixes won't work with old save games. (Ie if you have a savegame where no character claims the shogunate, parts of the bug will still be present, since the bug was related to a variable not being saved ).
Thus, continuing an old save, can result in anomalities and bugs that have been fixed => if you use an old save you shouldn't report bugs. But feel free to try.
Most changes 1.1 to 1.2 were interface and ai related and 1.2 to 1.3 will be almost exclusively bug fixes.

Use old saves at your own risk. I would.
 
Let's see if Impulse allows us to patch BEFORE 1.3 comes out. ;D Anyone wanna bet against me? I say Impulse stays this way til after 1.3.

Also, good job to the Paradox team, these patches are comin' quick. :D
 
It also looks like the security to make sure provinces are inherited overides other inheritance features.

For example, a son no longer inherits from his father as his father has other loosely connected heirs to fill the gap. By ninjas attacks, I killed twice the heir to a vassal to see if his own son (of age and fit) would get the heir spot. Never worked.
 
Make sure the event costing relationship between characters who promised land is working as intended.
I am sure I promised land, I GRANTED land and I still was hit by the penalty with this particular subject.

Alas, the resulting event had grammar problems which made it impossible to understand what had happened (didn' t make sense) in a way this seems to be similar to the report about the expose plot = no honor loss (mismatched ID) but I am sure I did lose attitude despite granting the land to that guy I had promised to.
 
The great Johan strikes again! I love this game and I like that Paradox is dedicated to making it greater.
 
So a another update, another start over as it may or may not work with my current game? I hope not... I lost my last game due to the 1.02 patch (update). If I have to start over yet again I will have learnt one thing, I will from now on wait six months before buying any Paradox game in the future so the first few big patch's & updates are already installed.

I appreciate the updates and bug fixes but having to start my game over each time grows annoying and the game becomes old fast and I move on to something else. Sorry but true. I may hold off playing for a while to this little update is released. :)
