Europa Universalis 5 First Patch Introduces Over 350 Fixes
Paradox Interactive has released the first public patch for its new 4X grand strategy game, Europa Universalis 5. This update brings a wide range of improvements focusing on warfare, diplomacy, user interface, and AI behavior.
Achievement System Overhaul
A significant change in this patch is the adjustment to the Steam achievements system. Players will no longer receive achievements they haven't fully earned. On the positive side, achievements are now obtainable even when the "allow ahistorical" game rule is enabled.
Scope of the Patch Fixes
The patch covers over 350 fixes that affect multiple game aspects, including:
- The status of the Earldom of Ulster as a vassal of the Pale
- The addition of province capital map markers for better navigation
- Ensuring valid triggers for countries to join Autocephalous Patriarchates
"Proper reasons for countries to join Autocephalous Patriarchates" have been added.
