Norland Patch 29 Notes – Dec. 20, 2024

On easy difficulty, AI cities will limit the growth of their armies to 40-50 soldiers (applies only when starting a new game).
If a hunt fails for one of the lords (e.g., the lord is unconscious, unable to move, or has broken morale at the end of the hunt), the hunt is considered unsuccessful for both lords. They both receive a negative thought and a negative social opinion about their partner.
Added a Tier 3 equipment level in AI cities with crossbowmen, unlocked after reaching 60 population on medium and hardcore difficulty.

AI cities now rearm their troops to the current tier (depending on population: 0-40-60+ population) at a rate of 4 soldiers per day.

If a prisoner dies in a bandit camp, a special notification will appear instead of “died during travel.”
When a bard arrives in a province, they now go directly to the performance location instead of waiting in the hall for orders.

Removed the notification on the right about a new battle on the global map.
The message about protecting the Loving Family will now appear after the second opening of the global map.
Added a notification prompting the player to check the Problems menu. It appears only once per game at 11:00 if at least one problem exists.

The dialogue bubble for lords, even when off-screen, will now appear closer to the center of the screen.
The inspection button in buildings will be highlighted if no inspector is assigned.
The action to ransom a prisoner from a bandit camp will now be available at the first action level.

The hunting task now has separate hints for the local and global maps. During hunting on the global map, there is a chance of an unsuccessful outcome.

Adjusted the interest bonus value from age and modified the calculation formula for the interest bonus from the Manners skill level.
The “Art of Flirting” technology now has a lower level but increased its bonus from 20 to 25.

Every fourth unique guest is now a knowledge trader. The knowledge trader will bring fewer books.
The first ambition will now appear on the 3rd day of the game.
Adjusted the formula for calculating experience from battles on the training ground — real combat is now more effective than training. The effectiveness of the “Effective Training” and “Kaiden Training” books has been updated.

Fixed a crash when leaving the local map of an enemy squad if the player had not yet completed the tutorial on attacking the enemy (arrow pointing to the enemy squad banner). To test, delete the help_buttons_status.json file. (load save file and pass some hours to see a crash)
Fixed a crash that occurred if the screen settings file contained resolution values that did not match either the screen size or any of the preset resolution options.
Fixed a bug where sending an AI army with more than one squad to assist caused the army to duplicate.

Fixed a bug where a lord would cancel their task in an AI city if 11:00 occurred during its execution.
Fixed an issue to prevent too many AI lords from being monogamous at the start of a new game.
Fixed a bug where, upon opening the province selection menu for a new game, the camera would show a locked area instead of the recommended province for the new game.

Fixed the contextual appoint menu scaling issue when using scales other than 100%.
Fixed the displayed cost of stealing books.
The knowledge tab marker for traders will now work only on the first opening of trade per trader visit.
