Crusader Kings 3 : Patch 1.3 Corvus

Voici la traduction du 52ème carnet de développement de CK3, le prochain jeu de Paradox Development Studio, qui résume les changements du patch 1.3 Corvus accompagné du Flavor Pack Northern Lords. Salutations !

C'est aujourd'hui que sort Northern Lords, et avec lui le patch 1.3 gratuit que nous avons baptisé "Corvus" en l'honneur des corbeaux d'Odin ! Nous avons présenté des parties des notes de patch dans des carnets de développement précédents, mais cette fois-ci, nous les publierons en entier - environ 13 pages de changements et de corrections, et cette fois-ci, il n'y aura pas d'omissions ou de texte [CENSURÉ] !

Il y a quelques ajouts gratuits notables que nous n'avons pas encore mentionnés et que nous aimerions vous montrer ! La plupart d'entre eux auraient été des révélations sur le thème du Flavor Pack, mais comme le chat de Freya est sorti du sac, allons-y !


[Image: Blasons et Devises Nordiques]

Nous avons ajouté de nombreux nouveaux éléments de blasons pour les nordiques afin de créer encore plus de variations ! Il est important de noter que la plupart des titres scandinaves changent dynamiquement de blason selon que le titulaire est païen ou non.

Il y a également un grand nombre de nouvelles devises nordiques qui font référence à leur panthéon de dieux (les traits du fondateur d'une maison déterminent fortement celui qu'ils choisissent).


[Image: Icônes de Foi Personnalisée]

Il y a de nouvelles icônes de religion personnalisées sur le thème du Nord parmi lesquelles vous pouvez choisir lorsque vous créez une nouvelle foi, certaines s'inspirant d'autres religions - ce qui pourrait convenir à une foi créée par un souverain nordique qui a laissé sa maison loin derrière lui !


[Image: Bâtiments spéciaux]

Nous avons ajouté plusieurs nouveaux bâtiments spéciaux en Scandinavie et en Europe de l'Est - la liste complète se trouve dans les notes de mise à jour, mais en voici trois qui commencent à être construits à la date de début de 1066.

En restructurant le système génétique de Cheveux et Barbes, un de nos artistes est tombé sur un trésor - une barbe perdue ! Pour une raison quelconque, cette magnifique pièce de décoration du menton s'était bien cachée, mais nous l'avons déterrée, et elle est maintenant disponible dans le jeu !


[Image: Notifications Claires]

Lorsque vous survolez le titre d'une notification, vous disposez désormais d'un bouton sur lequel vous pouvez cliquer avec le bouton droit de la souris pour rejeter toutes les notifications actuellement ouvertes !

[Image: Baronnies en Écosse]

Comme nous l'avons déjà mentionné, il y a quelques zones supplémentaires sur la carte qui ont été mises à jour. Nous avons ajouté quelques nouvelles baronnies dans les parties nord de l'Écosse. Réduisant considérablement la taille moyenne des baronnies.


[Image: Islande]

L'Islande compte désormais un total de neuf baronnies réparties sur quatre comtés, contre cinq (et plutôt grandes) baronnies réparties sur deux comtés auparavant.












[Images: Sápmi]

Enfin, nous avons pensé que c'était une bonne occasion d'accorder un peu d'attention à Sápmi, qui se trouve dans la même région que le thème du Flavor Pack. La disposition des duchés a été légèrement modifiée, en ajoutant un nouveau duché et en ajustant les formes des duchés existants. Ensuite, nous avons ajouté un certain nombre de baronnies, mais afin d'éviter d'avoir trop de baronnies par comté, des comtés correspondants ont également été ajoutés. Le nombre moyen de baronnies dans un comté donné devrait donc être à peu près le même qu'auparavant. Vous pouvez également repérer quelques nouveaux lacs et rivières, ce qui augmente la variété visuelle de la région.

Maintenant, écoutez les conseils de Huginn et Muninn, et buvez profondément au puits de Mímir - voici les notes de patch dans toute leur gloire :
Spoiler:

###################
# Free Features
###################
  • Winter is coming to the map! Certain regions will now experience icy winters, ranging from mild to harsh. Snow will spread on the map, ranging from scattered patches of frost to snow-covered landscapes. Snow will blow in the wind with increasing intensity, and you’ll hear the ambience of winter adapt to the cold and harsh reality of the area you’re looking at.
    • Mild Winters will very slightly increase the supply use of your units.
    • Normal Winters will noticeably increase the supply use of your units.
    • Harsh Winters will see supplies drain quickly, more fatal casualties will be taken, and the defender of a battle will get an advantage.
  • Added the Winter Soldier commander trait, which enhances warfare when fighting in provinces affected by winter. This new trait will appear naturally on characters who reside in wintery areas, or can be acquired through events.
  • Men-at-arms can now come with bonuses or penalties for fighting in Normal or Harsh winter. Cavalry will generally do poorly, especially heavy cavalry, while special units such as Himalayan Mountaineers will excel.
  • A new personal combat system has been added, which allows two characters to face off against each other in a multi-stage duel. Guide your character by selecting which attacks to go for, and hopefully best your opponent without getting too injured yourself! These duels can be to the death, or to first blood.
    • While this system has been hooked into several places, the most prominent change is that the ‘Stalwart Leader’ perk in the Chivalry Focus Tree now allows you to duel your Rivals. Winning/losing these duels adds stress to the loser and de-stresses the winner.
  • Added the ‘Poet’ trait to the game. This trait can be acquired via events, and allows you to use an interaction to send poems to other characters. These poems have different themes, such as Strife, Legacy, Romance or Mourning. They cost prestige to send, and can increase your target’s opinion of you, should they accept. You can also send scathing poems about your rival’s Incompetence, to cause them stress!
  • Enhanced the hair & beard inheritance gene system. Instead of inheriting specific haircuts from your parents, you now inherit a ‘hair type’ gene such as ‘straight’, ‘wavy’, ‘curly’ or ‘afro’. The actual haircut a character uses is now based upon their culture. This means that the King of France won’t braid his beard like a Viking just because his grandfather happened to be Norse!
    • NOTE: Existing characters from save games made before 1.3 might get a new haircut or become bald, and old ruler designer DNA data will not have hair/beard.
    • This system does not affect the Barbershop or Ruler Designer, where you’re still able to choose whatever hair you want.
  • Added a vast number of new Coat of Arms for Norse rulers, including mechanics for having Scandinavian titles switch between their Norse and Christian CoA versions depending on the holder’s faith and culture.
  • Added new Special Buildings in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe, including the Golden Gate of Kiev, Danevirke, Temple of Uppsala, and more!
  • Added 8 new Norse-inspired Custom Faith icons, ranging from Midgard Serpents, to Thor’s Hammers, to runic versions of Crosses and Crescents.
  • Added the ‘Chin Goatee’ beard variant
###################
# Balance
###################
  • Men-at-Arms, Special Troops and Mercenaries now have travel time and, like Levies, have a penalty to disband/re-raise during wars. Travel time is based on the distance to the realm capital. This should effectively stop being able to ‘teleport’ MaA across the map
  • The renown cost of acquiring Dynasty Legacies has been overhauled. Instead a linear progression (1000, 2000, 3000… etc.) the cost is now dynamic. It should be much easier to unlock your first few Legacy perks, but significantly harder to unlock all Legacies in the game.
  • All Dynasty Legacy perks have been rebalanced. Their effects should now be much more tangible and interesting.
  • The Yearly Event pools have been restructured, and a lot of triggers loosened or removed outright. In practice this means that you’ll see more events when playing (roughly one random event from this pool every 4 years rather than every 5-6 years). This also means that some extremely rare events will now appear more frequently.
  • The Infirm trait events have been moved from the Yearly pulse to the Health pulse. What this means is that all characters can now become infirm, not only rulers. It is also much more likely for elderly characters to actually get the trait.
  • Increased cost for sale of titles from 150 to 500 prestige
  • Increased cooldown on extort subjects from 2 to 5 years
  • Hosting parties now give much more relative progress for gaining Reveler traits than attending parties hosted by others, and temperate characters do not get reveler progress for attending parties at all.
  • Reduced acceptance bonus on Offer Vassalization from ‘wide difference in rank’ and ‘rightful liege’
  • Reduced fascination gain from learning from +2 to +1
  • Blocked joining a tyranny war if you can’t join a faction against your liege
  • It is now possible to recruit children from prison as long as they’re not heir to one of their liege’s titles
  • Reduced inherent health penalty on flagellant from -0.5 to -0.15
  • Reduced chance of characters randomly contracting lover’s pox & great pox
  • Improved the candidate selection for republican mayors: they can be of the province culture as well as their liege’s culture, will prefer to be succeeded by members of their court, and women can be selected when it makes sense
  • As the Patron of a holy order, you can now hire it even if it is already hired by someone else (except another player). You pay the full piety cost to the person who has already hired it, rather than the usual hiring it for free
  • Being more than 5000 men above the supply limit now causes you to lose supply faster, will scale from 5/month at 5k to 10/month at 10k
  • Buildings in holdings in the domain limit grace period are now disabled entirely
  • Creating a Head of Faith title now requires 1 more holy site (2 for Spiritual, 3 for Temporal). Creating a Spiritual HoF title now costs 300g rather than 50 to 300g based on your income
  • Fixed Absolute Control having no effect whatsoever on levies
  • Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren should no longer wander off, following the same rules as Children
  • Having a truce on someone now prevents you from raiding them
  • If you’re ordering your Spymaster to find secrets in your liege’s court and you are your liege’s Spymaster and are Disrupting Schemes, you no longer disrupt your own Spymaster’s scheming
  • Imprisoning and Executing characters of no particular status (i.e. lowborns) now yield much less tyranny
  • Married characters will no longer wander off if they are in a realm where they are subservient to the other part of the marriage, and their spouse is in the same court
  • Non-republican Barons now get married and produce a family more consistently
  • Reducing the size of MaA regiments can no longer give you Fame
  • Siblings now inherit ahead of parents
  • The Raid Speed modifier now affects armies you command rather than armies you own
  • The Witch Coven modifier now gives Disease Resistance rather than Health
  • When you convert faith, prisoners are no longer guaranteed to convert. They will only do so if they’d accept if they were free. Conversion of prisoners as a direct result of faith conversion no longer releases them from prison
  • When you use Grant to Low Noble, the resulting baron now gets the +20 “Received Barony” opinion towards you
  • You can now Disinherit people outside your diplomatic range
  • You will no longer get stress from Parents or Siblings dying of old age when they’re 65 or older (if they’re friends or lovers you might still get stress, though)
  • Your own player heir being the player heir of their host no longer prevents you from inviting them to your court
  • Your rival flinging a corpse at your castle now gives you an imprisonment reason if they’re your subject.
  • AI rulers who form an alliance in the middle of a war now wait 1 month before calling their new ally to arms.
  • Added a strait across Mälaren, between Sigtuna and Tälje.
  • Adjusted the AI Acceptance for family members and vassals offering to educate their liege’s children
  • Feudalizing as a Tribe no longer requires all Tribal-Era innovations, now you only need 70% (9) of all Civic & Military Innovations
  • Magyars now invade immediately in 867 by default
  • Moved the Argentiera Mines in the county of Cagliari to the county capital, to put it directly under the county owner.
  • Paulicianism’s pluralism doctrine is now Fundamentalist instead of Righteous
  • The AI’s willingness to white peace out of long wars now scales with how far in debt they are
  • The Estonian culture now starts with the Longboats innovation
  • The Pope is now more willing to lift excommunications, but doing so costs the excommunicated a Level of Fame
  • When a Claimant Faction succeeds in their goal, they will free their Claimant from prison if they were a prisoner of the old title holder
  • Gave Haesteinn the adventurer trait, made him a bit less vulnerable to old age
  • Adjusted the starting event troop Men-at-Arms of some important rulers, gave some event troops where they were lacking entirely, and added a few to Leon to stop Wessex gobbling them up all the time
###################
# AI
###################

###################

  • Added winter_movement_speed modifier

  • Added a trigger title_held_years to check how many years a title has been held if valid

  • You will no longer get asked to contribute to wars multiple times in a row if you joined several of your ally’s wars at the same time (paying once is enough!)

Dans les semaines à venir, nous publierons des carnets de bord dans lesquels nous nous plongerons dans le contenu de Northern Lords pour montrer le processus et la réflexion qui y ont été consacrés.

Northern Lords sortira aujourd'hui dans un peu plus de trois heures et demie [lorsque le carnet d'origine a été publié]. Juste assez de temps pour s'équiper et se préparer à prendre la mer !

Vous pouvez discuter de ce nouveau jeu sur le forum
