Hello all. As we alluded to in the previous Development Diary, we have been taking in feedback on the concerns with Golden Century and the 1.28 Spain Update.
Keen to do more than just talk about our intentions and future plans, we are also taking some steps to improve the players experience with EUIV and Golden Century. We have been reading lots of feedback, taking it on board and discussing what we can do for you in our upcoming update. As a result, we are making the following changes:
- Treasure Fleet mechanics will be unlocked in Golden Century (Previously tied to only El Dorado)
- All Privateering related mechanics will be unlocked in Golden Century
- Transfer Occupation will be available to all players (previously tied to Art of War)
- Increase Development feature will be available to all players (Previously tied to Common Sense)
The following changes are going to accompany 1.28, in a hotfix called 1.28.1 which will swiftly follow the Tuesday release. Again, we want to stress the importance of your thoughts and feelings, and do what we can to meet your expectations.
Long have players been requesting, in particular, that Development and Transfer Occupation features be a base game feature available and with the continued development of the game we agree that this is the right step forward. We have made lots of mechanics that interact with improving development in the years since it was first introduced, most notably with mechanics such as Ages and Institutions, and there are more ways this mechanic can be used to improve the game further which we want to open the doors for
And this is only the start, we will still be going forward with doing our planned dev diary on community suggestions and future road map of EU4.
If there are any questions about these changes, please let us know in our official forum!
