Europa Universalis IV Update Patch Notes May 16

Posted on by Michelle Pereira

 

UPDATED May 16

 

 

1.37.1 Patch is now LIVE! May 16

Hello everyone - here is our first patch for 1.37, featuring over 100 fixes in total.

 

Notable changes include:
  • “Gothic Invasion” now accounts for the new Gothic culture that is part of the Germanic culture group.
  • The “Great Moravia” achievement now accounts for Great Moravia's cores.
  • The Timurid mission "Mamluk Delusions" now requires 40 provinces instead of 50, no longer requiring the player to make up 4 additional provinces in these areas.
  • The Bohemian mission "The Golden City" no longer allows the player to develop the province for an unlimited time. It is limited to only 3 uses, giving a total of +9 development in total.

 

As usual, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket; this is the fastest way for us to see and address any problems. And be mindful that while these changes shouldn't affect 1.37.0 save games too profoundly, this is something we're not able to fully guarantee.

# Achievements
  • "Mayapahit" no longer requires you to own or have a subject own Madura as it is technically not part of the Java island even though it is part of the same in-game areas.
  • Removed an unnecessary requirement from the Hungarian Games which asks you to have been in Hungary at any point in time as it is only visible to you if you started as Hungary anyway.
  • "Timurizz" now makes it clearer that the allies with 100 Trust and with 150 opinion to you are the same.
  • The achievement "Mayapahit" now allows you to form any other tag than just Maya. As long you have formed the Mayas at some point, the achievement can be earned.
  • "There Khan only be one!" now requires you to be a horde or the Great Mongol State at the end too. In other words, if you start as a horde and reform into a monarchy before killing all other hordes the achievement would not trigger until you return to being a horde.
  • Improved the description of "There Khan only be one!" so it is clear that every country (except for you) cannot be a horde.
  • Changed the visibility requirement for "Veritas Vincit" from owning "Winds of Change" to owning "Art of War" and "Emperor" as the mechanics required to fulfill this achievement are behind these two DLCs.
  • Improved the visibility of the following achievements so you no longer have to form the specific country to see the achievement: "It's all coming together", "Baborg" and "Get out of my swamp!".
  • The achievement "The Hungarian Games" now counts won battles against the same country up to 3 times. A 4th won battle against the same country will no longer count for the achievement though.

# Decisions
  • Made it so you can't form AUH whilst in the relevant disasters.

# Events
  • The event Raabisation now properly grants its rewards.
  • The Russian events regarding the peasantry now remove ALL serfdom-related estate privileges with every step before applying the new privilege. This should cover rare cases where some serfdom privilege was "stuck" on the player even though they progressed through the event chain already, but should by default not change much for the normal experience.
  • Fixed an issue with the "Muhammad Juki Seizes Initiative" (flavor_tim.20) event.
  • The event "Gold Mine Discovered!" has now a goto button.
  • The event "Heir needed in <Theocracy Country>" has now a 40-day cooldown between each instance. This should remove the cases where the event triggers twice for a country.
  • Refined the descriptions of the "End of the Tatar Yoke" further in case Muscovy devs its way out of the yoke...
  • Added a special event text for the case that Muscovy grows too powerful to be influenced by the Tatar Yok while Sarai has never fallen.
  • Fixed missing ruler name and dynasty for the "Hungary wishes to join the Empire" incident events.
  • The Polish event about the Election of Kasimir will no longer display certain tooltips that have no effect without the "Lions of the North" DLC.

 

# Missions
  • The mission mongols_tumu_crisis can no longer be instantly completed.

  • The Austrian mission "Italian Ambition" has its rewards no longer exclusive to each other.

  • The Bohemian mission "The Golden City" no longer allows you to achieve Leviathan-levels of Development in a province any more, limiting the maximum amount of dev gain to 3 times (so +9 development in total).
  • Forming Prussia as the Teutonic Order before completing "Defeat Poland" will now automatically complete the mission and select for you the Prussian Path.
  • The Russian mission "The Fate of the Peasantry" is no longer blocked if the player goes a weird path of crushing the peasants just to liberate them later on anyway.
  • The mission "Endthe Regency" now automatically gives you the Hussite branch as long you finish it while NOT being Catholic. Updated the tooltip too to reflect this change.
  • Deccan now has religion after being released through the MUG_viceroyalty_of_deccan mission.
  • Forming Yuan while being a horde will no longer lock players out of the mission "Four Great Schools".
  • Fixed inconsistency for the Church estate naming in the Yuan "Inward Perfection" / yua_inward_perfection mission, as it referred to twice as "Clergy" and once as "Shizu".

  • The government reforms "Roman Empire" and "Roman Republic" now require you to be either the Roman Empire, Byzantium, or a custom nation atop of the normal Roman culture requirement. This should avoid the weird cases where the Client States would call themselves the "Nth Rome" by enacting the reform.
  • The Sich Rade government reform has now - 75% Capital Movement Cost to synergize better with its Itinerant Capital mechanic.

That’s no reason to lose a streak you have kept going for 453 days straight! So here goes nothing:

The Wordle answer today is “STALL”

Warner Bros. Reveals First Look at Next Looney Tunes Movie to be Scrapped

Posted on by Matt Fresh

BURBANK, Calif. — Warner Bros. excited shareholders this week by showing off the first official look at The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie which is slated as the next Looney Tunes movie to be scrapped for tax purposes.

The image was revealed alongside a press release from Warner Bros. CEO and avid scrapped film lover David Zaslav.

“It brings me great pleasure to show off the first look at what was planned to be the first fully animated theatrical Looney Tunes movie. This studio was born out of these cartoons and its existence will continue to flourish because of the tax write-offs that scrapping their movies brings us. I have no doubt that this image will excite fans and filmgoers who will look forward to finally seeing a new Looney Tunes film in theaters and that excitement will translate into immense profit once we throw it in the bin.”

Warner Bros. Chief Content Strategist Carla Phelps explained the strategy to show off a first look at a film they plan to never release.

“The key to all of this is the algorithm. You see the algorithm sees all and knows all. There is no greater film analyst than the algorithm. All the executives here at Warner Bros. get together weekly to pray to it,” said Phelps. “Our internal algorithm determines if a movie our studio is making is worth releasing or not. Then once the decision is made we release a first look for a final test. If enough people react positively to it then the algorithm decides how much we should write it off for when we cancel it. If enough people react negatively to it then the algorithm decides on when we should release it.” 

David Zaslav further elaborated on the algorithm used to determine that the upcoming Looney Tunes film will be scrapped. 

“It’s actually just a wheel I have in my office filled with movies I don’t like or understand. There’s a running pool in the office over which movie it will land on next. It actually landed on The Hunt for Gollum but enough people reacted with skepticism to it so we put it on the release schedule and I spun again. I love my job. Movies suck.”

At press time, inside sources report that Zaslav’s wheel consists of mostly Looney Tunes films.

UPDATED May 15

 

 

v1.10.105 – hotfixes May 15

Main game & Operation Guns - Tweaks & Fixes

 

Operation Guns

  • Increased frequency of Weapon Power-Up appearing as a level up option
  • Improvement for Hectic Highway pickups not always looping
  • Fixed Carlo Cart and Hectic Highway moving too quickly on high-refresh-rate monitors
  • Fixed a bug with the Firearm weapon not firing for long periods of time
  • Fix to Proton Beams infinite split causing screen flashes and crashes

 

  • Diver Mines fly in the direction faced by the player before falling down (really noticeable only with the weapon from level 3 onwards)
  • Atmo-Torpedoe and Prism Lass can be spammed a lot more than before with low cooldown
  • Increased damage of Wave Cannon's charged projectiles
  • "Zephyr" track fixed with the proper music
  • Tweaked treasure chests in Neo Galuga
  • Fixed Lance's bonuses glitchy display
  • Fix for Ariana's hidden Cooldown bonus not working properly
  • Fix to hide floating Morphed Mortaccio head when entering a boss battle

 

Main Game

  • Fixed shared evolutions when using "Shared Passives" option in co-op

 

  • Fix for arcana re-roll button displaying even if there were not enough arcanas left
  • Fixed Laborratory doors being incorrectly ventable
  • Fixed stage completion scroll bar navigation bug
  • Fixed word wrapping in stage selection
  • Fix for level up being empty/going straight to limit break in cases where everything else that would be available is sealed
  • Fix for missing translations showing in some treasure chests

 

 

Patch 1.10: Laborratory April 29

The Curious One

 

New Content:

  • 7 new EXTRA achievements
  • 1 new challenge stage
  • 1 new bonus stage
  • 1 new character
  • 1 new weapon with its evolution
  • 1 new passive weapon
  • 1 new power-up, Seal III
Since the early days of VS, people have been asking important questions like "Why is it called Santa Water?" and this patch is finally here to answer that; but what other dark mysteries will surface while looking for answers in the Laborratory?

 

Quick walkthrough to unlock all the new content:

  • Pick up a total of 33 Rosaries to unlock the Laborratory stage. If you've been playing for long you'll most likely already have enough; if so, enter and exit a run to get the unlock.
  • Use the levers in the larger rooms of the stage until you get the Santa Javelin and Arma Dio.
  • Evolve the Santa Javelin with a maxed out Clover
  • Use the levers at the bottom of the new stage to defeat a lot of enemies and unlock a bonus stage
  • Survive 20 minutes to unlock Santa Ladonna.
  • Seal/Banish 40 items in a run to unlock the Seal III power-up.

 

Full spoilers:

New stage: Laborratory
A challenge stage where everything is trying to kill you, including the narrow corridors. There are special levers you can pull to trigger mostly positive effects (depending on Luck) that could also spawn weapons and passives, depending on which room they're from.
New weapon: Santa Javelin & Seraphic Cry
Though starting weapon as it aims for random enemies, can critically hit and it turns the Duration stat into additional Amount for itself. Compatible with special arcanas (Gemini, Twilight Requiem, Tragic Princess). Requires a maxed out Clover to be evolved.
The evolution uses Luck to deal additional damage. Picking up Rosaries while it is equipped turns them into a quadruple screen clearing explosion that turns enemies into XP gems.
New passive: Arma Dio
Allows you to choose any base-game passive.
It actually counts as a weapon, so can also be chosen from a Candybox.
New character: Santa Ladonna
Starts with a temporary cooldown bonus and automatically triggers a Rosary when reaching critically low HP (recover hp to full to recharge the ability). Absolutely nothing else 👀
New stage: Carlo Cart
A silly little bonus stage where you cannot fully stop moving. It plays very differently compared to the average stage, so there are no extra unlocks tied to playing it, it's just for fun.
New power-up: Seal III
As the name suggests, it's a more convenient Seal power-up that allows you to seal 3 items per rank. This brings the total number of sealable items to 60!

 

General FAQs

 

►Cross-save beta

 

►Other projects

  • Online co-op for Vampire Survivors: the technical work is going well, still too early for more details!
  • EXPERIMENTS: going well, a lot of fun, I'm putting this here and planning to copy-paste this line for many future updates though, this stuff takes time!
    • [this was copy pasted from previous news as expected :p]

 

►Will you make more Adventures?

Yes! We had planned to make new Adventures more often, but then realised that while they work very well to isolate new DLC content, the base-game ones are missing something.

So we've been working on adding a new feature to the game (that will remain a little secret for now) after which we'll be back releasing new adventures.
The Tides of the Foscari one is an exception. Instead of just retelling the story of the DLC, we decided to do something different with it, but that requires yet another feature that still isn't in the base game. Hopefully we'll see it happen sometime during the summer!
It's worth noting that in the meantime nothing has stopped us from writing the deepest lore to accompany new future adventures, that, as we all know, together with environmental storytelling, is at the core of the VS experience /s

 

►Where are we on the Extra-content roadmap?

Right here obviously:

 

Operation Guns DLC

Our next Collab DLC releases in a few days, on May 9th, for $2.49 / €2.49 / £1.99 !

Read everything about it on the store page and here:

About Time: Mayor of Silent Hill Buys Dehumidifier

Posted on by Naomi Krause

SILENT HILL, ME – Earlier this week, head of Silent Hill government Mira the dog made the announcement that the city has finally purchased a dehumidifier to deal with the area’s problematic fog.

The good girl held a press conference on Monday morning to elaborate.

“It’s a massive public safety issue, with approximately 60% of inbound traffic driving off the road and becoming stuck in purgatory,” said Mira to the one journalist who wasn’t sucked into the Otherworld on the drive in. “But it really is a beautiful town. Sad to say nobody can see that without being blocked by a wall of smoke and negative Yelp reviews. We try to clear up the latter, it’s about time we did the same to the former.”

With the city’s annual tax revenue of four dollars, the public works department was able to find a dehumidifier on Craigslist that only took 11 years off of the budget. The item was purchased from Sam Bartlett, former mayor of nearby Shepherd’s Glen who listed the equipment as ‘slightly used’ and said they just want to avoid being ‘buried alive’ in maintenance.

Residents, meanwhile, appear optimistic about the acquisition.

“Took ‘em long enough,” said local religious and homeowner association leader Dahlia Gillespie. “If I have to perform one more exsanguination where I can’t make out who’s in front of me, it’s gonna be hell to pay. We worship the Sun god for crying out loud, it’d be nice to see him once in a blue moon without having to eat a baby.”

“Let’s be honest, our tourism industry has taken a bit of a dip,” continued Mira. “Most of our visitors are despondent widowers, their demon children and aliens we don’t talk about. The few who make it in aren’t treated very well by locals, which is an attitude we need to work on. Rest assured, this is just the first step towards a brighter future for our beloved home.”

It remains to be seen how the project will pan out, but it’s a safe bet that the dehumidifier was probably actually dead the entire time.

Report: Entire 2024 U.S. Presidential Election Effectively a High-Level ‘Worms: Armageddon’ Match

Posted on by Thomas Wilde

WASHINGTON DC – The 2024 US presidential election has become what one report, supported by publicly disclosed medical records, is calling effectively just a high-level Worms: Armageddon match.

The initial report came from a controversial “60 Minutes” interview with the parasite responsible for eating part of candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s brain in 2010.

“I’m not a ‘brainworm.’ I’m a Worm. Very common mistake,” said “Scuzzy,” in an exaggerated Brummie accent. “My mates and I found our ways in there, we did, after old Robbie dug up his N64 one rainy March morning. Didn’t eat nothing, but we were a bit naughty with some rockets. Explains a lot, don’t it?”

The interview led to widespread demand for other candidates to submit to voluntary testing, which many did in an attempt to acquire material for sick Twitter burns. Subsequently, a shocking number of politicians, including both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump, tested positive.

“Obviously, this is new territory,” said secretary of health Xavier Becerra in a press conference on May 9. “We’ve discovered that what President Biden has long thought was his stutter was in fact the result of his Worms calling in supply drops and airstrikes. Many of his recent gaffes and physical mishaps can be seen as the natural consequence of his skull hosting a 4v4 tournament match. It’s all very distracting.”

While Worms are naturally considered a parasite, experts say they are considered largely benign. Sufferers report conditions of brain fog, difficulty with basic geometry, and a complete inability to aim the Ninja Rope.

When asked for his opinion on his Worms infestation at a Nevada rally on May 11, Trump only mentioned the superior quality of his Worms vs. those of opposing candidates.

“Worms! They call them worms, have you seen this?” Trump said, momentarily walking away from the podium and doing a physical imitation of a worm to rapturous applause. “It used to be that if you had a worm in your apple you got rid of the apple, right? Remember that? Well, Biden doesn’t just have a worm in his apple, he has one in his head. Wormy Biden has worms in his head, an open border, and if he wanted an apple it’d cost twice as much as it used to. Other than that I say he’s doing pretty good though, right?”

“I have worms too. I do. I do, your honor,” Trump added, pretending to be handcuffed. “But my worms helped me. I know all the best worms and they work for me. And people know that’s the kind of thinking this country needs.”

Legal scholars note that Worms are technically British citizens, as they were created by Team 17 in Wakefield, UK. In theory, this would disqualify all leading candidates from the presidency by dint of being influenced if not controlled by foreign nationals.

“What’re you going to do, though?” asked Pod Save America co-host Jon Favreau. “Vote for a third-party candidate with this much on the line? No, I’m sticking with Worms Biden.”

In response, Green Party presidential nominee Dr. Jill Stein released a statement that she had been extensively tested and was found to be entirely free of Worms. This caused a brief jump in her polling numbers that was quickly counteracted by the discovery that she had instead been colonized by Lemmings.
