Hello everyone!

I am Ryagi, a Community Ambassador on Europa Universalis IV. Countless Modders do amazing work on their projects and the modding community they have built up is worth highlighting!

For a brief while, we have been hosting mod spotlights written by the Mod authors themselves over on our forums. Today we wanted to bring them to you directly here on steam. Let us know if this is something you are interested in seeing more of here! For today's spotlight we look at the ever popular Extended Timeline

It's likely this mod needs no introduction, but you may be less familiar with the mod author, Qweytr. We hope you enjoy their showcase today! For those of you who may not be familiar, you are in for a treat. Without further ado, I'll let Qweytr take it away.


Hi, I'm Qweytr, the developer of the Extended Timeline mod. If you are interested enough in EU4 mods to be reading this, you most likely have already heard of it, but just in case you are not, the basic idea of Extended Timeline is to allow you to start at any date you like and play for as long as you like. Due to limits of the game engine, any date in this case covers only dates after 2AD though, but that is already more than enough work for one person.

It was between 12 and 14 years ago, after my first full playthrough of EU3 was cut short by the 1820 end date that I knew I had to improve things. After that is has been a lot of work, though sometimes with breaks of several months, but at other times working on the mod every waking hour for a month straight. And thanks to that work the mod has had a very accurate starting setup for a good while now, with 800 new tags, all with historically accurate borders and rulers for every single day. It's not perfect of course, but neither is vanilla EU4, which is the level of historical accuracy I have aimed for and mostly reached and in certain aspects even surpassed.


Eurasia at the 1206 start date

The start dates are all well and good, but this is a game after all, so what happens after you unpause. For a long time, the answer was unfortunately not enough. Although I have made hundreds of events and decisions covering many important points of history like spread of Christianity, fall of Rome and rise of Islam, spread out over such a long timespan these events have to some felt quite sparse.


[center]A couple examples of the many events I have made, belonging to the event chains to decentralize Japan and the rise of Islam[/center]


It is of course inevitable that the vanilla period, which has a whole team of professionals adding content for a much shorter timespan would have more flavor than the parts I have added. It is simply not possible for one man to match Paradox in that aspect. But I never thought I would be doing Extended Timeline alone from start to finish. I always dreamed that once the basic fundamentals are in place, people interested in certain regions or time periods would contribute to the mod and help me flesh those parts out. And recently this dream has been closer to becoming true than ever before.

By far the biggest recent addition was the integration of More Missions: Extended Timeline REDUX sub-mod by World's Smuggest Detective into the main mod, adding a total of 29 new mission trees, 5 great projects, 3 disasters and some other smaller additions. Below are a few examples of the recently added mission trees.









Another recent addition is a new religion called Ecclesia Unita, which represents a form of Christianity reformed to prevent the Great Schism. This represents a kind of content I would not make myself, as I focus on things that happened historically, but since this was all done by LimonenZitrone I had no problems with adding it to the mod. He also made a new decision to form Germany for the medieval kingdom of Germany. Previously the vanilla decision was available already in the middle ages, even though it was clearly meant to represent the forming of modern Germany.



Next we have events for Ostsiedlung, meaning Germans settling down in the Slavic lands in the eastern edges of the Holy Roman Empire. They were made by Jey the Count as the first taste of the more comprehensive additions he is planning for medieval Europe.


[center]A couple events from the Ostsiedlung event chain[/center]

The most recent of all the contributions was a new main theme by Utopia, which you can also listen to on YouTube. It was added to the mod just two weeks ago along with a minor addition by Terkaza to the Zunist religion.



Those were all of the biggest contributions to the mod over the past two months. I want to specially thank not only the people mentioned above, but everyone who has contributed to the mod in the past. Extended Timeline would not be where it is today without the awesome community around it.


And we the whole EU4 team want to thank Qweytr for their years of hard work and dedication towards Extended Timeline as well as the EU4 modding community as a whole.
That wraps up today's spotlight. Though relatively short we hope you enjoyed it! Feel free to ask any questions about Extended Timeline and do let us know if you have any suggestions for future mod spotlights.

Tickets going on Sale June 15th!

Hello everyone! I’m Kuba, Release Engineer & Interim QA Coordinator here at Paradox Tinto and today I’d like to talk about some known issues and our plan for upcoming weeks.

After making 1.35.2 and following the hotfix, we addressed most of the pressing issues that could negatively impact your gameplay and could be prepared and tested in the time we had available. That being said, we are not yet done with improvements and bug fixing, as there are issues that are brought up by the community in the forums as well as discovered by our internal testing. The following list is the Known Issues to let you know that we are actively working on fixing these.

• Issues regarding the canals, that that makes them disappear or not appear at all
  
• Issues with missing Expand Empire Casus Belli
  
• Further fixes for the events of the Chinese floods
  
• Issues related to Taking land in war result in losing all crownland

Also, we are preparing for other less prominent issues, which are nevertheless important to us. Some examples would be:

• France has access to Strong Duchies after integrating all their Appanages
  
• Issues with Land of the Christian Sun reform for Republic / Theocratic Japan
  
• Siam’s Ideas Rebalance
  
• Fixes in the game translations
  
• Around 100 more upcoming bug fixes like those!

Those examples were chosen to give you an idea of what kind of issues we will be fixing in this patch as well. As you probably noticed I mentioned weeks instead of days, which means the next patch which will be 1.35.4 will come out probably next month, as we want to properly test all changes, especially the balance changes, so we need more time to do it.

We will be monitoring all the bug reports and social media for other issues as well to ensure that our focus is on the bugs that are annoying our community the most. While I cannot promise any particular fix at this point, we will attempt to prioritize and fix as many as we can.

This also means that we won't be posting new development diaries soon, but we will keep the communication open to keep you all informed of our intentions and plans.

Greetings everyone!

Today we released patch 1.35.3 for Europa Universalis IV! This is just a hotfix for an issue introduced with yesterday's 1.35.2 patch and contains only one thing, which is why I combine the 1.35.2 patchnotes with this.

As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. Thank you!

- Yangtze river flood event doesn´t add devastation to all owned provinces anymore

PLEASE NOTE!
There is still an issue with the Yangtze River Flood" Event, which causes it to effect all provinces along the River, even if below 15 Development. This issue occurs after completion of the missions "Tame China's Sorrow" and "The Jing Hang Grand Canal" - we're working towards a fix for this as well. Our apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Hello everyone! I’m Kuba, Release Engineer & Interim QA Coordinator here at Paradox Tinto and today I’d like to talk about issues that are affecting our community and further plan how to deal with them.

As you are aware, shortly after releasing the Domination DLC we realized we had some issues that affected some of our players, so we released a quick patch to alleviate those issues.
With every hotfix that we make for our game, we have to limit the changes to the most pressing issues that slipped the release build testing. We want to react quickly to the bugs but we also do not want to introduce more issues into your games, as with short development time, bugs like to sneak in.

That being said, we immediately focused on making a full patch that will address many of your issues.

For an upcoming patch, which will be released in early May, we focus primarily on:

• Stability: We are actively addressing the latest crashes that have been introduced in 1.35, especially for the players using the modded version of the game. Since the launch date, we have been gathering crash reports from you, and organizing and prioritizing them. So if you encounter any crashes make sure to send us the report so we can look into a fix Gameplay and balance: We gathered the problems that the community reported, investigated the issues we saw on social media, and attempted to fix as many as we could.

Of course, making changes to the game is one thing, but we also work hard to verify the quality of them, again to ensure we will not introduce new bugs in the place of the old. Our QA team is doing its best to check all the changes and verify them. However we are also looking for reports from our dedicated community, so please if you encounter any issues during your conquest please let us know on the Bug Report Subforum. I assure you that we will check every issue that is reported there.

So you probably wonder what are the plans for the future. We hope that this patch will stabilize the game, so you can do your campaigns safely, in the meantime we will work on further improvements, currently, we think that we will be able to do another patch. It won’t be as quick as this one because we want to focus on improving parts of the code that could potentially break stuff. Afterward, we will do an analysis of the state of the game, to check what needs to be done regarding bug fixing and stabilization.

Below you can find a list (not yet closed!) of changes we aim to include in 1.35.2, to be released in May.


Let us know what you think of these changes in the comments.

Greetings everyone!

Today we released hotfix for 1.35.1 Ottomans addressing some issues that surfaced since the release of 1.35. Save games should hopefully be unaffected - but if you have the possibility to start a new game that is always recommended.

PLEASE NOTE THAT 1.34 SAVES WILL NOT BE COMPATIBLE WITH 1.35! (More info here!)

As always, please report any issues in our bug report forum or submit a support ticket. Thank you!

The Greatest Powers Are Yours to Rule in EU4: Domination

Build the great empires of the early modern world in new ways with Europa Universalis IV: Domination, available today. The latest expansion pack for Paradox Interactive’s flagship historical grand strategy game adds a wagon-load of new choices, missions, and historical flavor to a game already bursting with endless possibilities.

Centered on the most popular and powerful nations in Europa Universalis IV, Domination revisits and revises once familiar pathways while adding more historical context and challenges to great nations like China, England, France and more. In some cases, branching missions will force you to make a choice that will irrevocably change the course of your nation, focusing your priorities in a particular direction.



Europa Universalis IV: Domination includes new national mission trees and features for:

• The Ottoman Empire: A revised conquest tree with new rewards for pushing Ottoman dominance, including expansion through the new Eyalet system, and new internal changes, such as the new Janissary estate, the new Ottoman Decadence mechanic, and the ‘Ottoman Power Struggle’ disaster.
  
• China: Different mission trees for the Han Ming and invader empires like the Qing. Choose between expansion and Inward Perfection, and counter the power of the Eunuchs to build a more stable empire.
  
• Japan: Unite Japan as you deal with the power of the Shogun and the independent Daimyos. Choose to open the country to foreign influence or keep it isolated, while deciding upon different paths of expansion and reform.
  
• Russia: Free your country of the Tatar yoke, and transform it into a Great Empire. Choose the path of Peter’s reforms to modernize the state, so your mission tree as well as your mechanics will change and evolve as the game progresses. Use the power of Cossacks and Streltsy to expand your Empire to East and West.
  
• Spain: Expanded mission trees for Castile and Aragon, with different paths to form Spain, a new mechanic available for the new ‘System of Councils’ government, and decisions about the Army and Navy to get the mighty Tercios and Spanish Armada.
  
• France: Fight the end of the Hundred Years War, centralize France into an absolute monarchy while dealing with the Wars of Religion, expand into Italy and the Holy Roman Empire, and lead the Revolution through an expanded mission tree.
  
• Great Britain: Separate paths for either a British Empire or an Angevin Britain, as well as a deeper internal gameplay, with unique features for the English Parliament and changes to the English Civil War disaster.
  
• Minor nations: Mission changes, new government mechanics and expanded flavor for Prussia, Portugal and Korea.

Domination also includes new art and music alongside a rich menu of new historical detail, adding more flavorful estates, reforms, special units and events to the leading powers. It will also be accompanied by a major update, free for all Europa Universalis IV players.
