Balance is an important topic for many of you, as it informs your strategies and your choice of cultures, which in turn affects how different your games will feel. Since replayability is important for a 4X game, with the Battuta Update, we focused on improving many of the less popular or less picked cultures to make them more appealing. Some of you may have already tried these changes in the beta, and we’ve seen some excitement for the options the reworked cultures offer. For those of you who did not play the beta or haven’t heard about the Battuta Patch before, here’s a quick recap of the main features (click on the names in bold or see below for more details):
Culture Balancing (see below): Rebalanced numerous cultures, including various new effects and abilities
Improved Militarist Action (see below): Added an option to upgrade militia into proper combat units, and fixed various bugs with the ability
Rebalanced Influence costs(See below): Cost of enacting civics, attaching territories, and merging cities grows far less over the course of the game
Improved Religious Districts: Various Tenets now provide economic bonuses on religious districts and religious districts are clearly marked in their tooltip
Better Civics Tooltips: Civics tooltips now show the effects of both options, even before you unlock them
Immersive Player Names: Diplomatic notifications now focus on the persona and give them a title appropriate for their government
Line of Sight Rework: Improved Line of Sight rules to generate more intuitive results and allow easier use of direct fire units
City visuals: Improved variety of Commons Quarters and facing of quarters to reduce repetitive patterns in large cities
We hope you’ll have fun exploring new strategies in the Battuta Update!
Balance Changes
If you have been around for the beta you will be familiar with these changes, BUT we have tweaked a couple of things (underlined), these tweaks can be "real" changes or changes that weren't on the previous blog but that they were on the beta.
Influence Balancing
You probably know how many players bring up the rapidly growing influence costs for various actions in the game. To be honest, some of those costs did spiral a bit out of control in the mid to late game. So we are adjusting some factors to the following:
Civics: Reduced the cost impact of Number of Enacted Civics
Attaching Outposts: Reduced the impact of already attached territories by 40%
Merging Cities: Reduced the impact of Infrastructure Buyout Cost by over 50%
Vassalization
Forcefully Vassalizing an opponent after a war will now be cheaper if you have more Fame than them. Roughly every 200 Fame should provide a 10 point reduction in War Score Cost. We also fixed the bug where (re-)vassalizing an empire after they tried to break free wasn't free as intended.
Militarist Affinity
While the Iron Reserves ability is incredibly powerful when exploited by an experienced player, we found that most more casual players find it extremely weak and almost never use it. So, we are making some tweaks to it to make it feel better to use for casual players, while fixing some bugs and unintended uses:
Militia units in Eras 5 and 6 now cost 2 pop each to raise (sieges unaffected)
Militia units can be upgraded into professional units in the Anti Cavalry branch (starting from Spearmen up to Rifles in the 6th era)
Fixed Militia units being free to heal
Fixed an exploit that created population when upgrading and disbanding units
Adjusted Ability Cooldown to scale with gamespeed and army size
Harbor Construction
To give you additional options when building your cities, Harbors will now serve as a "construction anchor" the same way Hamlets do, letting you build new districts next to them. We think this will particularly benefit naval cultures with "counts as" effects on their Emblematic Harbors, or otherwise maritime cultures. (Looking at you, Dutch V.O.C. Warehouse...)
