Happy Thursday Victorians!
Iberian Twilight and Update 1.12 are now live! Welcome to Iberia Victorians, we hope you have a good time in the twilight era of the Spanish and Portuguese empires.
Will you return them to glory? Through liberal reform or counter-revolution? How will you handle your former colonies, recognise them as players upon the world stage or as vassals that should be claimed once more?
You can pick up Iberian Twilight now on Steam or on the Paradox Store, or as part of Expansion Pass 2 (saving 20% overall compared to buying individually).
Check out the Release Trailer below:
And, we have an overview of Update 1.12 too:
If videos aren’t your speed, we have our normal selection of infographics summarizing the features of Iberian Twilight and the update:
We also have a custom sale going on for selected Victoria 3 content at the moment with discounts of up to 70% off, check it out on Steam or on the PDX Store!
Then, this evening around 18:00 CET the Expansion Pass 2 Last Chance Bundle will go live, replacing Expansion Pass 2 - as explained previously here.
And Finally before you try to load up mods, we want to remind you one last time; mods most likely will not work due to map changes and Database Entry Modes talked about in this previous diary.
Also, for those encountering the infamous 24h2 crash, we may have a possible fix which is included in this update.

Added new Production Methods for all plantations, a manufacturing category for tobacco, and a refining category for sugar
Added ten new achievements, five in Update 1.12 and five in Iberian Twilight
Countries with elections now have an 'Electoral Confidence' value that goes from 0 to 100%, representing the electorate's belief that any elections held will be free and fair. Meddling with elections will decrease Electoral Confidence, while allowing them to proceed without intervention will increase it. If Electoral Confidence is low, Legitimacy and Political Strength from Votes will be reduced to a degree depending on your laws and amendments. Generally, the more comprehensive your voting rights, the more severe the effects of low Electoral Confidence.
Added the Tradition of Free Elections amendment, which blocks electoral manipulation, makes the enactment of autocratic laws more difficult, and increases base legitimacy
Added 3 free historical companies
Added the Kaiserforum, including a related Journal Entry and events (National Awakening)
Added a new Ruler Selector to the country selection screen. The Ruler Selector only shows when the Ruler Selector Game Rule is Enabled and is disabled for Multiplayer.
Added a new Addendum article type letting you write a custom message as an article. It has no mechanical effects.

Improvements
Added a selection of new flags, names, and map colours for Iberia
Greatly reworked starting wine production areas, and shifted more production towards France, Italy, and Iberia
Added Esperanto hub names to Iberia
Added German state name variants for Spanish and Portuguese states
Reworked coups to be centered around dissatisfied military commanders, and broadened the laws they may establish
Devastation is now per-state instead of a state region so your pesky neighbor who is constantly at war and whom you are sharing a region with, won't be affecting you anymore
Added support for displaying full character names in the order determined by their culture. I.e. Tokugawa Ienari instead of Ienari Tokugawa. This is set per culture and defaults to first name + last name.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Manchu, Hungarian, Khmer, and Champa cultures now make use of Eastern naming order
Interest Groups will now change only ever join or leave parties when an election campaign starts. However, the restrictions on Interest Groups leaving or joining parties in government is lifted so parties can be freely recomposed in any way when the election campaign starts (and only then). The only exception to this is under Single Party State, where IGs are allowed to join the only legal party at any time.
Certain very backwards laws, such as Serfdom, Isolationism, Peasant Levies, and Traditionalism, will now consolidate all liberal pops into the Modernisation Movement. More liberal and communist movements will not be available until these laws are removed.
The "Bourbon for Everyone" achievement now requires a Bourbon monarch, and may now be achieved after forming Iberia
Reworked the political and cultural setup for the Philippines, and split Filipino culture into five
All buildings with allowed collectivization now have a greater chance to 'self-invest', ie for new autonomously invested levels to be owned by the Workforce, and a lower chance to be privatized
Under Guild System and Traditionalism, buildings now have a greater chance to 'self-invest', ie for new autonomously invested levels to be owned by the Workforce, and a lower chance to be privatized
Made the Geheime Staatskonferenz modifier for Austria into a starting Amendment which increases Legitimacy, decreases law enactment success chance, and blocks government reform for as long as it is active
Reworked the political setup of West Africa, and added a bunch of dynamic names to the region
Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of arable land in incorporated states is now reserved for subsistence buildings and cannot be developed until the law is changed
Under Serfdom and Manorialism, a certain % of employment in subsistence buildings is considered 'protected', and cannot be hired by other buildings until the law is changed
Colonial Administrations now have Subjecthood by default, along with an amendment to Subjecthood that reflects the racialisation of colonial governments
Improved the range of laws supported by the Modernisation Movement
Made the Gründerzeit Journal Entry display the current GDP in green if it is meeting the quarterly target, and red if not
The Fragile Unity Journal Entry will now decrease if China has a successful coup
Added new interactions for Government Petitions, to request an extension on the timer and to immediately dismiss the petition
Added a starting anti-Hungarian lobby to Croatia
Improved several pieces of narrative content pertaining to slave revolts, hooking in the new Slave Revolt Movement
Increased the visibility of the option to pursue the Title of Eastern Rome in the Megali Idea Journal Entry for Greece, and added state highlighting for Megali Greek and Byzantine states
Increased the visibility of the Bavarocracy progress bar conditions
Changed the Age of Caudillos Journal Entry to use a scripted progress bar
Reversed the names of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom characters
Added a line to the Spectre Haunting the World progress tooltip, showing the negative effects of not having Policing or Home Affairs
Added Wine potential to Diyarbakir
Oman has been elevated to kingdom status
AI
Remade how the AI allocates resources for conscripts. The AI should be a lot more willing to deploy conscripts if it has no regulars at all.
AI will now default to infantry conscripts if it can't access resources needed for the wanted type in the state they are being recruited
The AI is now a lot more reluctant to accept renegotiated treaties that are strictly worse for them than what was already agreed on
Maximum AI combined acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 25
Maximum AI individual acceptance for "Goods Transfer" treaty article has been reduced from 50 to 10
Made the AI more inclined to abolish certain very detrimental laws
Lobby Opportunity Bonus acceptance for treaty articles is no longer reduced or removed when adding additional articles that the AI has a positive acceptance towards
The AI will now be far more averse to trading massive volumes of individual goods via the "Goods Transfer" treaty article
Made conservative AI less accepting of national-liberal movements
France is now a lot more aggressive against a Haiti that unilaterally cancels debt payments, to a degree depending on the amount of debt canceled
Balance
Reduced base Company construction and throughput bonuses. With the introduction of Executives in particular they tend to rack up enough bonuses already.
Changed several cultural acceptance triggers to average pop acceptance triggers, to address some issues with content requiring overly high cultural acceptance for a culture
Political Movements will now also consider the conscription capacity of the uprising states if it's worth uprising
The amount of free construction countries get now scales against their GDP, with a minimum of 2 free construction at 0 GDP and a maximum of 10 at 2 million GDP. This was done due to an excess of free construction in small countries resulting in areas such as India developing far too rapidly, combined with the increased viability for small countries to support Construction Sectors with the lowered employment to 1k. Construction Sectors now only cost 25 construction, to enable even countries with a minimal amount of free construction to build them in a reasonable amount of time.
Added a Game Rule for whether base construction capacity should be scaled to GDP or not. By default, it is scaled for AI countries but always 10 for player countries, so that free construction can be reigned in without making tiny countries too tedious to play.
The prestige from being leader goods producer now scales against the global GDP, starting low and increasing over time so that it can be relevant at all stages of the game without completely overpowering other factors in the early game
Removed the multiplier on reinvestment from GDP, as what it was meant to simulate (foreign investment) is now an actual mechanic, and it resulted in far too rapid economic growth and contributed to the issue of too early disappearance of peasants. This change will slow down overall global GDP growth, making it more in line with historical GDP curves.
Radicals no longer impact assimilation & conversion rates directly, as it also impacts fervor & obstinance which in turn impact assimilation & conversion rates
Marginalized IGs with at least 2.5% support among political participants are now allowed to join parties. Interest Groups that are part of a party are no longer considered to be marginalized, even if they have low clout. This fixes an issue where IGs that were not already in a party would never receive votes and thus never become unmarginalized.
Devastation now decays at an increased rate the higher it is, so that while it can still linger for a long time, it does not do so at full effect
Toned down the infamy gain and effects from the "[CULTURE] Horrors" event options
Removed the Catalan, Galician, and Basque cultures from the Iberia formable country by default
Changed default starting gold reserves from 0.5 [50% capacity] to 0.25 [25% capacity]
There is no longer a penalty to Import Trade Advantage for lacking interests, making small markets more vulnerable to having their local industry outcompeted by cheap imports
When calculating the penalty on Export Trade Advantage for lacking interests, junior countries in a larger market can now use the Market Controller's interests in addition to their own
The "Take State" subject interaction now generates far less Infamy
Changed Isabel II's Interest Group to Petit-Bourgeoisie
Losing wars to recognised powers, and going a long time without abolishing certain very backwards laws, will increase attraction to the Modernisation Movement
Reduced the quarterly requirement for the Gründerzeit JE from 2.5% to 2%
Increased popularity gain and loss from battlefield victories and defeats
Reduced the direct increase of Serfdom and Manorialism to Landowners Political Strength, to balance against the impact of added restrictions on economic development
Greatly reduced the penalties of the "Tihamah" state trait in Hedjaz
Made Communists less tolerant of poor Labour Rights laws
Aristocrats pop attraction to the Intelligentsia is now gated behind the Academia technology
Arrange Accident can now be used to target heirs
Haiti now suffers a penalty to Diplomatic Reputation when cancelling debt payments, which reduces their ability to sign treaties and get support in diplomatic plays

Art

Added several new flags for Portugal
Added red cassocks for Catholic Cardinals
Added purple cassocks for Catholic Devout and Clergymen pops in December

Added a new Earthquake Harvest Condition

Expanded the Caribeño namelist (Thanks to Tripledot)
Added dynamic naming to the island of Hispaniola

Slightly improved how modifier breakdowns are done
Made countries tooltippable in the same target wargoal error
Effects that add and remove state traits now allow you see the details of those traits in the tooltip

Added a new line between pop assimilation modifiers in the tooltip
Nudged the Power Blocs mapmode to its correct place in the alphabet (by renaming "All Power Blocs" mapmode to "Power Blocs - All")
Performance
fixed a rare issue that could cause greatly degraded performance when opening the character panel
Modding
Enabled expandable databases allowing modders to inject values into them without having to replace the whole thing. Syntax uses prefixes like INJECT, REPLACE, TRY_INJECT, etc.
Added a new database for Geographic Regions which is any combination of Strategic Regions or State Regions (Europe, africa, etc) and will automatically generate script lists for countries/states/state region/strategic regions/provinces. For example: any_country_in_africa.
War Goals are now defined in script (and thus moddable). See war_goal_types.md for documentation.
Journal Entries can now be set as 'contextless', aka global context. Contextless JEs are not associated with a specific country and there can only ever be one instance of them, but have expanded functionality that allows you to determine which countries are involved in (and thus able to interact with) the Journal Entry, and which countries can see the Journal Entry even if they are not involved in it. This makes it much easier to create JEs for historical situations whose context is not principally tied to a single country, and we plan to rework some of our existing content to use this new model going forward.
Production Methods can now be unlocked or disallowed based on State Traits, Geographic Regions and Law Amendments
Added modifiers for forcing subsidies on groups or types of buildings, `country__require_subsidies_bool`
Added modifiers for setting export/import levels for a specific good, in this format `country____tariffs_level_add`, Range of 1 to 7, 1 for Min/Max Subventions, 4 for no tariff/subvention' and 7 for Min/Max Tariffs
Modifiers for changing tariff rate for specific goods. `country___tariffs_rate_add`
Replaced ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_ACROSS_HERITAGES with ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_GROUP and ALLOW_ASSIMILATION_REQUIRE_TRAIT (Slave assimilation still will always require heritage group)
Modifier types can now be flagged as script_only, this will suppress all 'invalid modifier' errors previously fired when modders added new modifiers
State resource potentials (such as mining, agriculture etc) now uses building types instead of building groups. As a consequence, many single-building building groups have been removed or consolidated.
Sorted out the jumbled and inconsistent mess of income/expenses triggers. There are now six properly functioning and localized triggers: total_income, total_expenses, fixed_income, fixed_expenses, total_net_income and fixed_net_income. Any previous uses of income, expenses and weekly_net_fixed_income will have to be updated to the new naming conventions.
Added triggers stall_chance, stall_chance_without_enactment_modifier, stall_chance_for_law, and stall_chance_for_law_without_enactment_modifier
Effect set_ruling_party now actually works
Decrees can now be unlocked by State Traits, Geographic Regions and Law Amendments
Added state buy orders modifiers that add buy orders directly to a state, works the same way state sell orders modifiers do only with buy modifiers instead
Save games should no longer crash if building types have been removed and renamed between saving & loading. An alias system has been created to be able to load renamed buildings into new saves, though it is not a perfect transition and some data in the save may be lost. The alias system does not work for database/setup definitions, only for saves.
Added data functions in interface for accessing alerts & proposals that have been dismissed
num_units_share now counts only the active army and raised conscripts
Added building type value link required_construction
Added new link value average_progressiveness, which calculates the average progressiveness of a character or interest group's ideologies, modulated by ideological_opinion_impact
Renamed building types in the database to generally use a consistent singular format (ie, building_furniture_manufactory instead of furniture_manufacturies)
It is now possible to add a should_popup_when_expiring = no flag to events, which makes them silently time out with the default option
Added new effect set_character_as_executive
set_character_as_ruler effect now also makes them the executive of the company owning the country, if the country is a chartered company
Added a new text input type for treaty articles
Added BuildingGroup to the script system
JE Effect Outcome now have access to JE scope when generating the headers
Added new market goods triggers is_exported_to and is_imported_from
Added a Job Attractiveness modifier to buildings. Low Job Attractiveness will increase the wage a building needs to offer in order to be able to hire workers, while high Job Attractiveness decreases it.
Added new effect retire_character
Added TimeKeeper.GetCurrentDateWithDiff( int ) function
Added DiplomaticPlay.GetInitiatorBackersBreakdown & DiplomaticPlay.GetTargetBackersBreakdown
