Europa Universalis: Rome – Vae Victis Expansion Patch Released

Paradox Interactive have released a new downloadable patch for Vae Victis – the expansion to the Europa Universalis: Rome. The new patch addresses a variety of issues and to get the patch you can either hit the ‘check for updates’ button via the game’s menu screen or get it by hitting the badge below.

Once the patch has been downloaded and installed, players will notice the following key features:

• Civil Wars can no longer go on forever. The side that can hold the capital for six years wins, forcing the rebels to act quickly.
• New interface look, depending on your culture.
• Technology that matters; increased effects of research, and each new level always grants a bonus.
• Rebalanced character loyalty and popularity system. Charisma affects popularity, and ruler popularity affects character loyalty. Watch out for unpopular rulers and heirs…
• More interface improvements, with better tool tips and more messages with logical “Go to” buttons.
• More intrigue at the court; monarchs can have bastards, and the heir apparent has never been more at risk.
