1.2 - 'Pour le Mérite' - 6th of September, 2024

Changes

Notable Additions

• Added over 100 unique achievements to Kaiserreich, which can apply to playthroughs as all countries, some countries, or individual countries. The new custom achievements system works through the Steam Cloud, and so in order to ensure your progress is saved you must have cloud saving enabled for Hearts of Iron IV.
• Fully updated the annexation system used in Kaiserreich for when countries are annexed after losing a war. Changes to this include:
  • The timed mission to complete each annexation event has been removed, and now the occupying country will instead face higher levels of resistance until the decision is selected.
  • Puppets will now return any non-integrable lands to their overlord.
  • Occupying areas no longer causes war support, political power, and stability maluses, and now only increases the resistance target in all relevant owned states.
  • All regional annexations are no longer tied to the capital alone, and will trigger for countries in descending order of value (based on victory points, resources, and factories) of the owned portion.
  • Most annexation decisions have been refactored for greater flexibility.
  • Coring through compliance can now only occur on states that are owned, meaning you can no longer core states that are owned by another country you are still at war with, though compliance can still be built up mid-war.
  • Countries can now only release puppets when neither they nor their allies or puppets are at war with any non-capitulated countries on the same continent or any major powers on the same continent.

  • Multiple annexation missions have been added and updated all over the map, outlined later in the patch notes.
• Economic Spheres now force market access between all members.
• The Zhili-in-Exile path for Sichuan has been updated. Potential leaders have been changed and given new unique traits. While the national focus tree structure is largely the same, every effect has been updated, and there is a new unique Intelligence Agency. All related events for this path have been rewritten, and new post-war election events have been added.
• Chinese splinters with similar but not identical alignments will no longer be guaranteed to accept alliances with each other. Splinters with identical alignments will still always accept alliances.
• Completely overhauled the commander and advisor rosters for Anqing and the League of Eight Provinces.
• The Co-Prosperity Sphere is now treated as an economic sphere in the in-game interface and map mode.
