Generals!
Patch 1.17.1.1 is rolling out today with a number of fixes and quality-of-life improvements. (A follow-up patch is planned for next week.) We read all your feedback — please continue to keep those bug reports coming.
Balance
- The Italian focus “Forza Navale Especiale” now increases Division Capacity per Naval Invasion Plan by +2.
AI
- Fixed AI fleet behavior that split ships into numerous tiny taskforces; AI will also correctly assign taskforces to training during peacetime.
Bugfixes
- Fixed an edge case where the Xian Incident could trigger from warlord decisions if CHI or PRC left the Chinese United Front after being formed by PRC without the Xian Incident.
- Corrected an issue where Chinese warlords did not receive the proper decisions after selecting the “Approach Japan” focus.
- Localization now uses a 64‑bit hash to reduce collisions and address intermittent localization bugs.
- Fixed a crash caused by the Communist China “Infiltrate East Hebei” event.
- Updated the Chinese Warlord “Personal Leadership” focus description to clearly state the granted general trait is randomized.
- Fixed the “Defeat of Anti‑Fascists” faction goal that incorrectly allowed Stalin to turn against the Comintern.
- Prevented “Declare War on Democracy” from appearing for democratic factions when the goal setter is Non‑Aligned.
- Restored correct air superiority display in Air map mode after starting a second playthrough.
- Fixed an issue where the Japanese focus “The Chrysanthemum Throne” would not properly make Hirohito the country leader if the NCNS DLC was disabled.
- Corrected the Italian “Forza Navale Especiale” focus which targeted an obsolete Naval Invasion Capacity modifier.
- Resolved a multiplayer out‑of‑sync when Korean and other localizations were placed in the same group.
- Fixed the Chinese MIO “Factory 617” trait so it now correctly affects Modern Tanks.
- Fixed the “Battle Royale” achievement which previously (and incorrectly) required the player to defeat JAP and CHI before 1940.
- Added the missing ineligible icon for the “And the Snake Smoked” achievement.
- Corrected various typos across the game.
- Fixed airbase access being incorrectly granted by Iraq to the UK when NCNS was not enabled.
