State of War Resolution Patch，State of War Resolution Patch Notes

(Version 2.1.0)

🔧 Core Fixes

1. War Declaration Exploit Patched

   • Fixed an exploit allowing players to bypass war cooldowns by rapidly toggling Casus Belli declarations.
   • Impact: Prevents unintended war-spamming and stabilizes diplomatic gameplay.

2. War Score Calculation Error

   • Corrected a bug where war score decayed incorrectly during prolonged sieges.
   • Impact: Ensures accurate progression toward war goals.

3. AI Peace Treaty Crash

   • Resolved crashes when AI factions rejected peace offers due to invalid war-goal conditions.
   • Impact: Eliminates game instability during late-game negotiations.

⚖️ Balance Adjustments

1. War Exhaustion Scaling

   • Reduced war exhaustion gain by 15% for defenders but increased it by 10% for attackers.
   • Goal: Prolongs defensive wars while discouraging reckless aggression.

2. Blockade Efficiency

   

   • Nerfed blockade resource penalties from 30% to 20% to prevent early-game economic shutdowns.
   • Trade-off: Buffs naval-focused strategies but avoids snowballing disadvantages.

3. Casus Belli Costs

   • Increased the "Unjustified War" penalty from -20 stability to -30 stability.
   • Rationale: Encourages strategic war declarations over expansionist tactics.

✨ New Features

1. Limited War Mechanic

   • Added a "Limited War" declaration option:
     • Allows wars with specific objectives (e.g., "Claim Territory X" only).
     • Reduces war exhaustion gain by 25% but caps war score gains.
   • Accessible via Diplomacy Menu → Declare War → "Limited War".

2. War Council System

   • Alliances can now vote on joint war goals and peace terms.
   • Requires unanimous consent for major decisions (e.g., annexation).
   • Impact: Promotes coordinated strategy in multiplayer.

3. War Weariness UI

   

   • Introduced a War Weariness meter:
     • Rises with civilian casualties and prolonged conflicts.
     • Causes stability penalties (-1 per 10% weariness) and revolt risks.
   • Visualized in the National Focus Panel.

🤖 AI Overhauls

1. War Goal Logic

   • AI now evaluates alliance strength and terrain defensibility before declaring war.
   • Result: Fewer suicidal declarations against fortified positions.

2. Peace Treaty AI

   • AI factions now accept "status quo" peace if war score is below 40%.
   • Avoids endless wars when objectives are unattainable.

3. Naval Invasion Pathfinding

   Fixed AI pathfinding for naval invasions, reducing beachhead failures by 50%.

   

🎨 UI/UX Improvements

1. War Summary Screen

   • Added a detailed breakdown of:
     • Current war score, objectives, and estimated time to completion.
     • Alliance contributions and war weariness trends.
   • Accessible via the Diplomacy Tab during wars.

2. Notification System

   • Alerts now include casualty counts and war exhaustion changes.
   • Example: "Your war weariness increased by 5% after the Battle of Y."

3. Tooltips

   Expanded tooltips for all war-related mechanics (e.g., "Limited War," "War Council").

🔌 Modding Support

1. New Hooks
   • Added OnLimitedWarDeclared and OnWarCouncilVote events for modders.
2. Localization

   All new text strings are mod-compatible and support custom languages.
