Magna Graecia Content Pack update 1.4 (31 March 2020)

• Apotheosis: Living and deceased rulers can now be deified and worshipped as gods. This comes at a cost of Political Influence and requires high popularity and family prestige. Deification requires selecting an existing deity that your character will assume the attributes and ceremonies of, as well as passive and active bonuses. Invoking an Omen of a deified character will result in a powerful effect that the base God did not provide, the strength of which will often be based on the skills or attributes of the deified character.
• Added 4 new Mission Trees for a resurgent Sparta and the rise of a new Peleponesian league.
• Added 4 new Mission Trees for Syracuse, allowing the player to realize the dreams of Agathocles and highlighting the history of Greek Italy.
• Added 4 New Mission Trees for a resurgent Athens and the creation of a new Delian League.
• As part of the Expansion Features 30 Greek Sacred Treasures have been placed in countries and Holy Sites around the Greek World.
• Added 12 new deities local to Athens, Sparta and Syracuse, with special artwork.
• Ostracism: Utilizing one of its older political traditions, Athens can now banish its citizens to an unknown destination without first imprisoning them by paying a hefty Tyranny cost.
• Heroic Frieze: This new Spartan province investment increases the output of citizens in the entire province as well as the local supply limit.
• Free Helots: This new province investment lets Sparta increase the freeman output, primary culture happiness and recruit speed in an entire province.
• Create Mercenary State: Syracuse can release any city as a militaristic subject state under a puppet governor. A Mercenary Subject state gets a 50% increase to base Manpower. The overlord will receive a reduction in mercenary cost for each subject of this kind they have, and can recruit new rulers from them.
• Added new land unit models for Athens, Sparta, Syracuse and Crete.
• Added new fleet unit models for Athens, Sparta, Syracuse and Crete.
• Added a new port model for Greek cultured countries all around the world.
• Added a new Acropolis style Fort model for all Greek countries around the world.
• Added a number of historical flavor decisions to owners of specific significant provinces in the Greek World.

Free Features

• State Pantheon: Religion has been overhauled. Instead of a set of Omens that are invoked periodically, each country now has a State Pantheon of 4 primary Deities that they can choose themselves from among all the Deities worshipped by their population, even those not of the State Religion. Each Deity will provide +5% happiness for pops from its associated religion as well as passive benefits specific to that Deity.
• Omens: As before each deity also has an Omen that gives a larger temporary boost to its country. Rare personified deities (such as Alexander the Great or Zoroaster) also give a second immediate effect when worshipped. Their character page can also be accessed in game.
• Holy Sites: Each Deity in the game can have one Holy Site. Holy sites exist in territories around the map and apart from some local benefits they also provide a boost to the effectiveness of their associated Deity if a country owns their holy site.
• Holy Treasures: Treasures are objects that can be placed on Altars in Holy Sites, and which will benefit the entire Province to which the Holy Site belongs. How many Altars a Holy Site has depends on the type of territory. A settlement has one Altar, a city has two and a Metropolis will have 3. There are circa 100 treasures spread around the holy sites of the world as part of the Archimedes Update.
• Desecration: Holy Sites can be desecrated by their owner or a visiting army in control of their territory. Desecrating a Holy Site will transfer all of its treasures to the country performing the desecration. Desecration also causes other countries in the same religion group as the desecrated deity to lose opinion of the offender, but don’t let that stop you, because wolves aren’t concerned with the opinions of sheep.
• Honored Prophets: Since Judaism is monotheistic, it does not have a State Pantheon. Instead it will compose a group of 4 honored dead Prophets of the faith. These work similar to Deities in some respects, but give more powerful benefits when activated while also being possible to use more rarely. Monotheistic countries also cannot honor a Deity from a different religion, they are limited to only their prophets.
• Trade: You can now specify Trade Goods for which you will automatically decline all requests in the Trade View.
  • Multiplayer: You can now configure AI settings that will dictate what the AI can and cannot do if you leave a game.
• Continue Button: When the game end date is reached, you can now choose to continue playing, while forsaking any achievements or custom content after this point. Go nuts, proclaim Pax Romana in 1939 AD if you want, but please send us screenshots.
  • Holdings no longer stop the promotion of Slaves; instead there is now a button to halt slave promotion in a territory at a cost of Slave Happiness. Wolves, sheep, yadda yadda.
• Character Loyalty: Character Loyalty has been changed away from a system of drift over time to instead function as a sum of known modifiers. This means that at any given time characters will occupy different parts of the loyalty spectrum instead of all characters always drifting towards blind loyalty or complete defiance. To account for this all sources of character loyalty in the game has been revised and rebalanced. Traits now also play a much larger role in the base loyalty of a character.

GAMEBALANCE

Economy

• Freemen now give a bit of tax income.
• Slaves now produce a bit less tax income.
• Base Happiness for Slaves is now 90%.
• Base Happiness for Tribesmen is now 80%.

Governments

• Heir support now depends on popularity and traits as well as stats. Martial and Charisma stats are now worth more than finesse and zeal for supporters.

Characters

• Imprisoning a Head of Family now always requires a trial and risking a Civil War.
  • All sources of Loyalty in the entire game have been rebalanced as part of the rework of how Character Loyalty works.
  • A Character will now always take their holdings with them into a Civil War, and there is no longer a limit on how many Holdings a Character can have.
• Trials are no longer blocked by a character having 40 or more Power Base. Instead they will always be possible if the base chance is above 1%.
• The “Proscribe” Character Interaction can now be used on an imprisoned head of family to confiscate all holdings of that family. They will fall from grace and no longer be considered a Great Family of your country.
• It is now harder to take a Co-Ruler to trial.
• “Persuade Character” interaction now replaces Bribe if your ruler has orator or silver tongued. Bribe and Persuade now cost Political Influence in addition to any other effects.
  • Only Heads of Family will now purchase Holdings, though any Character can acquire them through schemes or events.
  • Enticing governors now requires that the governor has at least one state at low state loyalty and bordering the enticing country. Any such provinces will defect to the enticing country.

Religion

• Religious Conversion is now less quick in general to account for being able to placate pops by honouring their gods.

Units

• Elephants now have a maneuver of 0, meaning they can only target opposing units directly in front of themselves. The intent here is to simulate that elephants were largely one-dimensional battering rams on the battlefield, with enormous striking power but limited tactical maneuverability.
• Mega Polyremes now have a maneuver of 0, meaning they can only target opposing units directly in front of themselves. Ditto above, bigger is not always better.
• Fixed a number of bugs in combat deployment and also added new rules to ensure more desirable deployment outcomes:
• Supply Trains now only ever join battle once all other units on their side are depleted.
• Non flank units now reinforce the center from behind instead of from the flanks. Primary units are deployed first and secondary units second.
• Flank Units still reinforce the flanks. Designated flank units are always preferred to reinforce if available.
• Units that are instantly deployed when an army arrives to a battle that has been ongoing long enough that the retreat block has been removed will now deploy with a morale penalty.
• Units that reinforce the center but are not designated as secondary rank will now take a small hit to morale.
  • Units can now require multiple things to be built. Heavy Ships now require both the right Military Traditions and Wood.

War & Peace

• The base speed for a siege tick is now 25 days instead of 30 days.
• Mercenaries now cost Gold to recruit instead of Military Experience.
• Conquered provinces now start somewhat less loyal than they used to.
• Increased War Exhaustion from Battles.

Other

• AI should care more about strength when agreeing or disagreeing to becoming a feudatory.
• Converting religion now gives a 75% discount to changing deities in pantheon for a period of time. News gods on sale, limited time offer, while supplies last.
• High tribute level now only reduce subject opinion by 50.
• Legitimacy no longer affects max loyalty. Monarchies default to 100 loyalty as max.
• Lowered the zeal requirement for Divinity Statutes law to 10 from 12.
• Only Civilized overlords can have Feudatories.
• Rivals of your ruler now get a lower wage and will get a reduction of Family prestige over time.
• Starting Army Sizes and Navy Sizes are now slightly smaller.

AI

Diplomacy

• Fixed an esoteric case where AI could attack subjects of an ally without breaking the alliance (thus incurring harsh penalties).
• AI slightly more likely to accept becoming a Client State or Feudatory based on the strength of the potential overlord.
• AI should now be better at judging when to start another concurrent war to speed up expansion (if at all).
• AI now knows that they can enforce demands having fully captured the war goal (and will do so if situation isn't improving).
• AI now properly checks strength balances on changing conditions, leading to fewer suicides.
  • AI is now able to void the guarantees they committed to like the true bastards they ought to be.

Economy

• Fixed so that the AI can properly create trade routes via the action plan.

War

• Added additional qualifying criteria before AI decides to send out armies on naval expeditions when wargoal is being contested and can be pathed to.
• AI units now dynamically increase search range in case they find too few options or fail to reach their current destination pathed to. Should result in less indecisiveness and staying in poor locations.
• AI should be slightly more interested in pursuing the war goal as well as state capitals.
• AI should consider if they really have food prior to besieging non-wargoal forts (imperfect heuristic).
• AI may try to assault if its troop is unavoidably attriting away due to lack of food and there is nothing else for it to do, because come on you dogs, do you want to live forever?!

Other

• AI tribes can now migrate.
• AI may Deify their ruler to celebrate a large-scale victorious conquest.
  • Added AI functionality for destroying buildings

INTERFACE

Icons/Art

• Added a small animation for when a mission is in progress.
• The style of the buildings in a city on the map will now correspond to the dominant culture of that city, and will change if the dominant culture changes during the game.

Events

Update 1.3.0 [Livy] (3 December 2019)

New Features

• New Mission System. The player can at any time pick one of up to three missions. Each mission is a tree that is composed of a number of tasks. Tasks can be timed or instant, and some branches of the tree can be exclusive to one another.
• Added Dynamic and Procedural Missions for conquest for all countries in the game.
• Added Dynamic Mission for developing a Governorship for all countries in the game.
• Added mission to reform out of tribalism for Tribes.
• Great Families: Each country will now have a limited set of Major families that expect to hold a certain influence in the state. By ensuring their members have the amount of jobs they expect, the families will support your rule, but failing to do so will encourage them to rebel.
• Minor Characters: Characters that are not part of Great Families will appear during the campaign and will wield influence and power, but will not be able to call on their kin to get them jobs and positions.
• A Great Family’s Prestige rating will now determine their share of the national pool of Power Base, meaning Families that have held many important jobs will become more dangerous over time.
• Families can now adopt minor characters, and the player can adopt characters to their ruling families in monarchies. Adoption reduces the prestige of the family that adopts and will present the choice of whether to change the family name of the newly adopted person or not.
• Map Mode Manager: You can now select which map modes will be shown in the bar above the Minimap by dragging and dropping.
• Armies now consume and carry food: All units can now carry food with them on campaign, and will consume that food if they are in a situation where they would normally take attrition, instead of losing men. Armies in friendly territory will stock up on food from the Provincial stores.
• Reworked Reinforcement rules: Armies will now only reinforce if they are not currently taking attrition. Consequently sieges can now be lost by the attacker if they run out of food but armies can also operate far deeper into enemy territory without taking attrition, as long as they bring enough food.
• Added Supply Train unit with greater food carrying capacity for long campaigns and sieges.
• Updated Map in Greece, Anatolia, Hibernia, and the Baltic region. Added new territories, impassables and countries, as well as more navigable rivers.
• Statesmanship now governs how well your characters perform in administrative government jobs. Statesmanship is built up by a character over time and acts as a multiplier on their skill, meaning inexperienced characters will not perform to their full potential.
• Line System: Lines will now mark ongoing migration and trade routes on the map, more clearly illustrating these features when you are looking at their respective interfaces.
• Subject Interactions: Subjects can now be asked to abandon an ungrateful overlord, and can themselves seek out a new overlord if they are displeased with their current one.
• Added Minor Event Category: Minor events will not open automatically on your screen but will instead be placed in queue before they take effect. Minor events will primarily be those that are of low impact and connected with characters.

DLC - The Punic Wars

• Added 9 unique mission trees for Rome.
• Added 10 unique mission trees for Carthage and other Punic countries.

• Added Supply Trains and a Support Units category, which will be deployed last on the battlefield and cannot be part of retinues.

War & Peace

• The maximum manpower is now 20 years of Manpower gain rather than 25. Overall Manpower will now be lower as a result of this.
• Base Manpower reduced by 50%.
• Enslavement efficiency reduced across the board, by 25-50%.
• Raze and Pillage can now be used regardless of whether you're at war with the province owner. It will add a stacking opinion debuff each time the action is performed. If opinion goes below -180, a war will be declared, treating the pillaging country as attacker.
• Slave revolts will now be rarer in low population territories.

Diplomacy

Update 1.2.0 [Cicero] (24 September 2019)

• You can now disband loyal cohorts, for double the cost, but those loyal cohorts will turn into "veteran cohorts" for that character that impact their powerbase, and will be raised as experienced cohorts if that character revolts.

• Pops now no longer instantly promote or demote to another type, assimilate their culture or convert their religion. All of these changes will now instead happen over time due to a combination of factors that you can speed up through government policies and other actions. An overview for current changes underway in a city can be opened from the city interface.

• Pops now migrate over time to neighboring cities, cities in the same province, or between provinces with a port in your empire. Manual movement of pops is now only possible for Slaves and Tribesmen (if you are a Tribe).

• Monarch power has been removed as a concept. Instead mechanics have been changed to happen over time, use other currencies or opportunity cost. A new currency, Political Influence, is now generated by loyal members of your Government over time. Political Influence will be used to perform actions directly relating to your country's government such as selecting National Ideas or implementing Laws.

• Reworked Experience. Unit Experience no longer decays from losses in combat but instead decays over time. All armies now have access to the Drill ability which will increase their cost and loyalty gain chance while allowing them to build up experience.

• Reworked Military Traditions. Military traditions are now acquired using Military Experience, a countrywide value that measures the degree of Military Experience your country has built up. Military Experience increases from your average cohort experience and War Exhaustion, where reliance on mercenaries reduce the speed it accumulates by.

• Split cities into Cities, Settlements and Metropolises, collectively known as territories. Only Cities and Metropolises are now represented by 3D buildings on the map.

• Settlement is the basic owned territorial unit. A settlement has lower population cap than a city and can only have one building. Settlement buildings are different from those available in cities and focus more on production and output. In a settlement the population will trend towards being slaves or tribesmen (if owned by a tribe).

• A city can be founded in a settlement for a cost of Gold and Political Influence. A city can have multiple buildings and will have a higher population cap than a settlement. In cities more slaves are required to produce surplus goods, and over time pops will be more likely to become Citizens or Freemen.

• A Metropolis can be upgraded from a provincial capital city with high population. City buildings are still available but it will have a higher migration attraction, and more building slots than a city.

• A City or Metropolis can be turned back into a settlement for a cost of Tyranny, this costs less Tyranny for Tribes.

• Added 11 new building types, to create more depth to develop your cities,

• Added 5 new buildings for Settlements.

• A new character interaction to bestow a regional nickname on governors has been added.

• A new character interaction to impose corruption sanctions on a character has been added, reducing their corruption at a cost of loyalty and tyranny.

• Food is now produced in all owned territories, the amount is dependent on the local terrain. Food is consumed by Pops and Military units that would otherwise take attrition. Any surplus food is stored in the Province. A large food store will increase population growth and local defensiveness. A depleted food storage results in starvation and lowered defensiveness.

• Surplus Trade Goods can now also generate food, these can be imported to feed big cities.

• Added a new governor policy: Harsh Treatment, reducing migration attraction and population output, in return for higher provincial loyalty.

• Added a version of the War Council government interaction for Republics.

Update 1.1.0 [Pompey] (26 June 2019)

New Features

• Civil Wars have been reworked to be based upon the disloyal power base versus the total power base of a country. Each character have a power base that depends on their holdings,commanded units, wealth, titles, governorship importance etc. This value is displayed in overview, character listings, character and family views.
• Stability has been reworked to no longer be on a scale of -3 to +3, instead it ranges from 0 to 100, and gravitates naturally towards 50. Stability below 50 will give penalties to unrest, happiness and loyalty, as well as lowering the thresholds for civil wars and rebellions. Stability above 50 will benefit research, commerce, population growth, and will make the thresholds for civil war and rebellion higher.
• Increasing stability is no longer instant. Instead sacrifices to the gods will give an increase of Stability over time, and multiple sacrifices in short time will increase the rate of this increase.
• Added Coastal and River Terrain types for naval combat.
• Population Capacity now dictates how many pops can live in each city. Population capacity is primarily increased by things like climate, rivers, ports, but is also possible to increase through building granaries in a city. A city over capacity will get penalties from overpopulation but no city will grow over its cap naturally. Most things that previously affected population growth will now instead affect capacity.
• All countries can now convert religion if their high priest is of the new religion and a majority of the free pops in their capital also follow it. Republics require the approval of their Senate, Monarchies must have 70 Legitimacy and Tribes must have the approval of the Clan Chiefs.
• Seleucid bloodline trait now gives a bit of ticking province loyalty to better allow them to control a far flung empire.
• All Religions now come with their own associated Omens, with their own effects.
• Added country specific Omens to a number of countries and some culture specific ones. More context specific Omens will keep being added in future patches.
• Added Specific Omens for Hellenic countries following the Serapis Cult.
• Every country in the world now has a “Heritage” providing it with passive benefits and a penalty. Heritages are dependent on the capital of the country but can also be specific to other circumstances.
• Added Country specific Heritages to: Rome, Sparta, Carthage, Phrygia, Macedon, Egypt, Seleucid Empire, Mauryan Empire, Judea, Tartessos, Byblos, Armenia, Epirus, Thrace, Rhodes, Athens, Etruria, Syracuse, Icenia, Arvernia, Atropatene, Tarentum, Argos, and Thebes.
• Added the possibility of on map eruptions for the following volcanoes: Vesuvius, Aetna, Ararat, Methana, Aragats, Argaeus Mons, Argaios Mons, Ausara, Bamni, Qarqar, Caucasus Mons and Iberia Mons. A volcano eruption will cause considerable damage to the local economy until cleaned up.
• Added storms that can strike at sea, in deserts or during winter. Storms will cover a number of sea zones, or cities and will deal heavy attrition to present units. While a storm is ongoing it will be visible on the 3D Map.
• Added Navigable Rivers. A navigable river can be forded at specific locations, which can be blocked like straits by a navy. Light ships will perform better than others in a river.
• Legitimacy is no longer instantly increased from a button press, but a stackable over time ticking improvement.
• War Exhaustion is no longer a button to magically decrease it instantly, but instead works like the changed stability.
• You can now embark & disembark armies while in a port, and you have a big enough navy.
• You can now view foreign characters from the diplomatic view.
• Reworked the province view, adding more information, including pierchats of population.
• You can now tell units to start building roads, and they will continue doing it as long as you have power, instead of stopping in each new location to await new orders.
• Monarchies now have access to an Anabasis unit ability, which lets the ruler boost province loyalty in a province capital where he or she is present.

Dual Rulers:

• Aristocratic Republics now have Co-Consuls. Co-Consuls provide power in attributes where they are better than the current ruler, and their ruling traits are applied to the country along with those of the primary ruler. Popularity of ruler is average of both of the Consuls, while corruption is the sum of their corruption.
• Consorts: In Monarchies the consort of the ruler will now count as a co-ruler and give benefits to the country in the form of their stats supplanting the ruler’s if they are better. A consort with living children will get a ticking reduction of loyalty if the primary heir is not their child.

Province & City Improvements

• Urban development interaction added for cities. Using the interaction increases local Civilization Capacity, as well as Civilization growth rate.
• You can now set what unit types your clan retinues should be. Changing will update retinues as well but strength is dropped to 0.
  • Added four Province-level investments, corresponding to each of the Power types: Population Output and Province Loyalty for Military Power, Building Slots for Civic Power, Local Import Routes for Oratory Power, Same Religion Pop Happiness for Religious Power

Naval Rework:

• Reworked Navies to form lines of battle and split Galleys into 6 classes with different roles, ranging from Light (Highly maneuverable and with a high chance to attempt to board) to Medium (all around balanced) and Heavy (Can only target ships directly opposed, withstand more damage and very hard to board). Heavy Ships are unlocked in some Military Tradition Trees (Persian, Indian and Greek) and can perform special unit abilities to help project power overseas. Navies now also make use of their own Combat Tactics and can shattered retreat to a friendly port.
• Added Liburnian ship type in the Light Ship Category.

• Added Naval Range: Naval Range is calculated from your closest owned port and any ship that goes out of range will take Attrition damage. Heavy Ships will take increased Attrition damage when out of range.
• Ships can now be captured in Naval combat: A capture attempt will happen if a ship takes enough morale damage to retreat from the battle. Since Light ships primarily deal morale damage this means that they will get more chances to capture opposing ships. Success chances are however also based on chance: Light ships have -20% chance to successfully capture heavy ships, while heavy ships have a +20% chance to capture lights. Medium is +/-10% vs the other. Capture chance is further impacted by admiral Martial skill and national modifiers. Captured ships joins their new owner’s navy but will not take part in the ongoing battle. Number of captured ships will be shown in the combat report.
• Pirates Reworked: Pirates can now be hired to supplement your navy in the Mercenary Tab. Unemployed pirates will eventually go on a raid, harming the economy of an unfortified target city before returning to their old home port. Any country can root out a pirate nest using a unit ability in enemy territory when at war, or in their own territory if they have banned piracy.
• Province Capitals are now fixed, and will never relocate naturally unless the city is lost in a war. Province capital can be moved by the player to another city in the same Province for a cost.
• Added the capability to release a subject country out of any owned Province, from the country overview screen.
• Country capital can now be moved for a power cost that is dependent on the difference in population between your current capital and the desired new location.

Holdings Rework:

• Characters can now hold multiple holdings, limited by their capabilities (mainly finesse). A city can also have multiple holdings, one for each 10 slaves present. Unowned Holdings can be granted to characters by the state or purchased by them over time. Holdings can also be confiscated by the state, lost to starvation, or lost if a city change hands, causing a loss of loyalty for their old owner (this loyalty modifier will last 5 years per lost holding).
• A holding will provide its owner with income, boosting their personal wealth over time.
• If more than half of the Holdings in a city belong to a character on the Rebel side in a Civil War then that city will defect at the start of the conflict.
• It is no longer possible to move or promote slaves if it would mean the loss of a holding for a character.

Ledger

• Tribal Government Interaction: Encourage Tribal Migration which will decrease the Centralization of a Tribal Nation, but cause 5 pops to move out of your realm, into a nearby province (preferring empty provinces).

• Macrobuilder Improvements: The Macrobuilder to promote, assimilate or convert Pops, as well as constructing buildings will now show the expected return of each action to give you providing better information to decide what action to take.
