But what sort of unit would have low morale, but high discipline, assuming there was one? Like some sort of parade troop that could manage to get single perfect volley and then they would break?


Extremely well-trained and drilled troops that haven't been paid for four months and are rapidly considering if this is all worth it.

Using some commands i was able to play as the Western Protectorate. Surprisingly the government type is playable just not selectable. Changed inheritance to Gavelkind so i didnt lose the title on death.
Not much to note about it aside from the fact that chinese artifacts of decent quality will spawn on you then immediately become "lost". I assume this is how the game distributes artifacts to other rulers.

Part 2.5 of the Canadian AAR. This one's a little bit muddied by morons wasting Daniel's time, but still worth a read, I think.

Stuff like this, is why paradox wants to avoid covering controversial topics or historical events that take place in their games era. Because people get weird with their map games.

No, its not a species pack, its a bug related to the species tab. Every time you open it (which is kind of essential for most players to do), the game basically shits itself, especially after a while of playing the game, because its calculating everything related to EVERY pop).

How did that even make it through QA?

Vaguely a pessimist, certainly an absurdist, unironically an antinatalist.

Maybe they're only testing on battleship setups. I've only noticed the problem since about 3.0, so it probably happened when they tried to optimize the pop code in general.

I would like to dedicate this Dev Diary to Marietta. In death as in life, she would have loved to have her name attached to something. She had a massive ego.

I do like that they're bringing back artifacts, but I also really miss societies.
If they do bring back societies they better include knighthoods.
Actually fuck societies just make knights a trait you can earn.
