Crusader Kings II Conclave Dev Diary #5 By Rebecca Smith, 09 Feb 2016 CommentsGreetings!It’s been a week since release and a lot of people have been playing Conclave. As usual, we have carefully listened to feedback from our players, and as Doomdark explained last week, we’ve been looking into ways of improving the design and implementation of certain features. The two main areas of concern are Coalitions and Shattered Retreats, and we are currently testing the revised solutions. Read more about these changes in Conclave: The Near Future.On top of this, we’ve been looking to improve the experience in Conclave further. Here’s a selection of new features:• A new favor use where a vassal can get pardoned by the liege.• A new faction that can unite vassals against tyrannical rulers, change succession law and put the most liked (or the least disliked) vassal on the throne.• Clarity, balancing and some new non-congenital traits in the Education system.• More events related to favors. The patch also feature some quality of life improvements such as:• A next song button.• An option to ignore the music scripts and play all songs randomly (Christmas carols all year long!) Plus about a hundred more fixes.As soon as the changes are fully implemented and approved by our internal QA department, we will release it as a public beta to get the opportunity to gather your feedback before finalizing the patch.More Crusader Kings II stories: Crusader Kings II Free for a Limited Time Crusader Kings II 2.7.1 Patch Notes New DLC Available - Crusader Kings II: Monks and Mystics Crusader Kings II Patch 2.6.2 Released Crusader Kings II Development Diary - The End of Days WindowsLinuxMac OS XGame Patch Written by Rebecca SmithRebecca is the Newshound Manager at TrueSteamAchievements, TrueAchievements and TrueTrophies. She has been contributing articles since 2010, especially those that involve intimidatingly long lists. When not writing news, she can usually be found sharpening her very, VERY, pointy grammar stick in anticipation of its imminent use. Outside of TSA, TA and TT, she works in an independent game shop so that she can spend all day talking about games too. At home, with a variety of PCs and consoles on hand from which to choose, starting with a ZX Spectrum, games are never far away there either. However, as you're not supposed to have an unhealthy obsession with just a single subject, she also likes to read and dream about owning her own tribe of minions. She'll occasionally go outside.
