- Knights of Honor II Patch 1.7.0
- Update Overview
- This is the sixth major update since the release of Knights of Honor II: Sovereign. This time we focused on rebellions and added new features to allow players to better handle rebellions and unrest.
- As always, thank you to everyone who tried this version during our beta and provided us with feedback.
- Changes to Rebellions
- Even the wisest of rulers sometimes cannot prevent a revolt against their rule. Until now, a rebel army could only be defeated in battle. With this update, we are also giving players the opportunity to give in to the rebels’ demands and restore order quickly.
- • New Feature: “Pay off rebellionâ€
- Players can now choose to pay off a rebellion to quickly restore order. Paying off a rebellion costs gold and all conquered provinces are ceded to the rebels. Special rebels like loyalists can also demand additional provinces.
- • Imminent rebellions are now indicated by a new icon in the city selection UI together with additional information.
- • In some cases, the game now warns players earlier about the risk of rebellions.
- Quality of Life Improvements
- • Multiplayer: Player kingdoms are now indicated on the map by a special icon in the multiplayer lobby.
- • Multiplayer: Banners of allied or enemy human players are now outlined with green/red borders in certain cases like city selection and audience windows.
- • It is now possible to reorder units in the city garrison by drag and drop.
- • It is now possible to merge units in the city garrison by drag and drop.
- • Replaced the previous 0.5 per unit-in-garrison local happiness bonus with an army-presence bonus of 1/level for each unit, including visiting armies.
- • Changed the shade of red text to make it more readable.
- Balancing
- • Reduced the maximum stability penalty for religious differences from 30 to 25.
- • Reduced the maximum stability penalty for cultural differences from 15 to 10.
- • Reduced the global stability bonus for defeating a rebellion from 15 to 10, but it can now be applied up to 4 times (instead of 3).
- • Added a 15 local stability bonus that fades over time after defeating rebels.
- Network
- • Updated the game’s online library files - fixing a rare multiplayer bug where players could potentially lose some information on their multiplayer campaigns.
- Bugfixes
