Meh, I don't see anything big, and it's not an overhaul of the interface.  It seems to merely be a different skin, and not a simple-looking one.

My new standard for victory is now the font size of the letters in the name of my country on the political map. I get to pick my own level of difficulty by choosing nation based on the number of letter in their name. so "The Mameluks" are much harder than say "Oman" and "Lorraine" is harder than the easiest nation on the map "Bar".

The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I broke down last night and bought Heir to the Throne so I could play with this MIEOU mod - what a different experience from MMP!  I might miss the HRE module but it's like another game entirely.  And of course the interface shines!

I like the political aspect to HRE, but I hate it how it's so unbalanced.  The biggest culprit is the Imperial Liberation CB, which lets you grab the provinces for 1 BB hit.  Liberation should liberate, not "launder" annexations.  I really doubt that HRE members would be happy watching the Emperor just annex away on a pretext of liberation.

New HttT Beta patch is out

http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/showthread.php?t=471470

Quote- Fixed an infinite loop bug in the new country name code
- Increased the size of the Québec province text
- The Oirat Horde provinces are now Buddhist to match the state religion
- Adjusted some HRE reform event modifiers to make more sense, and corrected use of the "badboy" trigger.
- Now possible to annex countries of greater size than 1. If you can vassalize them, you can annex them as well, but you always need to occupy their whole territory.
- The HRE can no longer be forcibly disbanded once it is hereditary.
- Adjusted the Free Subject policy in the history of certain countries, and increased the max slider limit to 2
- Badboy is now a bigger impact on imperial elections.
- Supply range is now properly checked for when the AtSea counter is increased for navies.
- Interests are now set every month for bankloans.
- It is now much cheaper to send spies to a country with high badboy.
- Selected countries now gets a black stripe in the lobby.
- Reworked sow discontent, it will now increase stability costs and revoltrisk for a year instead.
- Mercenaries are now more expensive when badboy goes up.
- There is now a penalty for occupying other parts of the empire that is not your core.
- Its only possible to join cores into the empire now.
- Added a few random events for super badboys.
- Reenabled the country overview, and tech levels overview ledgerpages in multiplayer, since 90% of that data could be found anyway by anyone with a pen+paper.
- Changed income column in the ledger to show a full years income (direct taxes + 12 monthly) instead of just monthly.

EDIT It is supposed to be save compatible.

If by "if you can vassalize them" they mean "if they accept vassalization in peace" then it is a good thing I guess. Otherwise, not so much.

Did they reduce the Landfriede army tradition penalty? It's just -2/year now.

Different how? Is it better? I'm trying to decide which of the major mods is best, but I'm too lazy to try them all in detail. I've tried MMP, but it's very heavy and I don't think I fully understand it yet.

The new annexation rule sucks, simply because the AI is often not competent enough to defend its countries sensibly (which is certainly not a new situation to EU).

I patched and loaded up my Castile game last night, and Portugal promptly DOWed and totally conquered Morocco.  In 1440.  Right.  :rolleyes:
