One of the best grand strategy game set in the Napoleonic era has received an important update, and it is very huge!
The Engine, the Diplomacy system and the Historical Events have been considerably improved, making the experience more immersive than ever!
The list of changes is truly impressive! Check it below!
You can download the patch from here
Get more information about Wars of Napoleon from its product page
The game will be available also on Steam
Important!
This patch is all-inclusive; you dont need any other patch.
You must restart your ongoing games, it is not save compatible.
Engine & Game logic (excl. diplomacy)
Free xp gain has been reduced by a factor of 3 (from 75 to 25% chance per turn)
Much less attrition in cities, if playing historical attrition
Garrisons in passive posture don't get served last in replacements, they are in the normal flow, which is:
all passive units
all defensive units that are not garrisons
all offensive units that are not garrisons
all remaining garrisons, if there is at least 5 replacements
Naval Intercept order won't be reset systematically to false after an interception, it will depend of the strategic rating of the admiral (six-sided dice rolled against strategic rating).
You must now be on offensive to set Naval Intercept order. Fleets are always active and thus can always be on offensive, but it will lead to increased cohesion loss while staying at sea.
Upped chances to find someone in the naval off-map boxes.
Regions list now shows development level
Feature about Locked keys (F11, F12) that should not affect the campaigns, has been disabled.
Off map boxes warfare: Upped chances to encounter the enemy by roughly 33%.
Fixed a bug resulting in no damage done either in OMB or with naval bombardment.
Some fixes to discrepancies between seniority and promotions.
Minimum chance to hit for an element is now 7% (was 10%)
Can now build depots in allied territory
Army auto-renaming to keep Napoleon at head of 'Grande Arm้e' should work in all case now.
Minor nations won't go outside their home territory, unless under direct control by a major nation.
AI should concentrate forces more often. Work in progress!
Allied AIs will be much less prone to wander in others allied territories, if there is no threat there.
Lone leaders will much more rarely go on tourist tour, and if they do it should be quick!
when using ally requests window, you can now see the value the AI gives to regions in the region tooltip.
Revised how units are sorted and displayed in the unit panel, at the bottom of the interface.
Forts will now fire only on ships passing in "designated regions".
All rivers and "estuaries", Dardanelles/Bosphore, and Neva Mouth are "designated"
There is also some chance that passing ships will evade fort fire. You will see a message if this occurs.
Gibraltar will no longer fire at the straits! Ships passing in Coastal Waters will no longer be fired upon!
Several smaller improvements in AI scripts for the campaigns, while waiting for deeper changes. Need a restart.
The weird zoo with flying whales and swimming camels has been removed. This entry is part of the contest of 'strangest patch note in a video game' for year 2015.
Color-coding: If you don't want the engine to use faction main color in tooltip, edit the text file NGC\settings\userinterface.opt, there is an entry named inoCommonTTColor:
Set the value to 1, like here: inoCommonTTColor = 1
AI will be much less prone to sent stacks without frontline units in non-controlled territories
Can type space when renaming a game. Can close same window with <enter> key
Further refined 'play the anthem' logic on load game and new turn jingle
You'll always see all 7 major nations (Ottomans included even if technically they are a disorganized major) in objectives screen.
Diplomacy
A war with a minor can stop spontaneously after one year if warscore is still low (< 10)
Nations that should be future satellites of some majors can't be liberated by anyone except said major (French Spain, Poland)
Made sure no CB is given if 2 nations are at war.
If you are allied with an enemy of another ally DOWing said enemy, you don't DOW it. (will solve satellite going to war against their master)
AI fix: Minor nations at peace will check and answer all requests now (no is a valid answer!)
When giving back regions to its original owner, as part of a peace treaty, you won't lose the VP, NM originally gained from them.
fix to receiving CB even against a nation you are at war with prohibited DOW: target is a minor allied to a major, and this major has a peace in effect with us
True defensive treaty: Major nation gets a CB against another enemy major nation if in a def treaty with ally major being attacked by
You no longer gets a free +1 warscore per turn when fighting a minor nation (was up to 10).
You no longer gets a CB against satellites nations.
Creation of Duchy of Warsaw won't move French units outside the duchy.
Liberating a nation will make them your ally (or if France/Great Britain, part of your Alliance or Coalition)
Minor nations should reply more often to requests. (They could have been 'dormant' if at peace, before).
Formed nations don't propose new treaties fixed a bug in exp forces creating issue in diplomacy
Fixed an issue in defensive treaty not added properly
When making peace, you'll always get a passage right and supply right treaty for 24 turns.
Countries without owned regions don't DOW anyone. There is a limit to stupidity.
Expeditionary forces and fleets can be aborted if there is no common foe.
