Standalone installers, and those of its DLC, updated: 1.3.1 Livy ⇒ 1.3.2 Livy.

Changelog for Magna Graecia Content Pack (31 March 2020) - Part I:

- Apotheosis: Living and deceased rulers can now be deified and worshipped as gods. This comes at a cost of Political Influence and requires high popularity and family prestige. Deification requires selecting an existing deity that your character will assume the attributes and ceremonies of, as well as passive and active bonuses. Invoking an Omen of a deified character will result in a powerful effect that the base God did not provide, the strength of which will often be based on the skills or attributes of the deified character.
- Added 4 new Mission Trees for a resurgent Sparta and the rise of a new Peleponesian league.
- Added 4 new Mission Trees for Syracuse, allowing the player to realize the dreams of Agathocles and highlighting the history of Greek Italy.
- Added 4 New Mission Trees for a resurgent Athens and the creation of a new Delian League.
- As part of the Expansion Features 30 Greek Sacred Treasures have been placed in countries and Holy Sites around the Greek World.
- Added 12 new deities local to Athens, Sparta and Syracuse, with special artwork.
- Ostracism: Utilizing one of its older political traditions, Athens can now banish its citizens to an unknown destination without first imprisoning them by paying a hefty Tyranny cost.
- Heroic Frieze: This new Spartan province investment increases the output of citizens in the entire province as well as the local supply limit.
- Free Helots: This new province investment lets Sparta increase the freeman output, primary culture happiness and recruit speed in an entire province.
- Create Mercenary State: Syracuse can release any city as a militaristic subject state under a puppet governor. A Mercenary Subject state gets a 50% increase to base Manpower. The overlord will receive a reduction in mercenary cost for each subject of this kind they have, and can recruit new rulers from them.
- Added new land unit models for Athens, Sparta, Syracuse and Crete.
- Added new fleet unit models for Athens, Sparta, Syracuse and Crete.
- Added a new port model for Greek cultured countries all around the world.
- Added a new Acropolis style Fort model for all Greek countries around the world.
- Added a number of historical flavor decisions to owners of specific significant provinces in the Greek World.

Free Features
- State Pantheon: Religion has been overhauled. Instead of a set of Omens that are invoked periodically, each country now has a State Pantheon of 4 primary Deities that they can choose themselves from among all the Deities worshipped by their population, even those not of the State Religion. Each Deity will provide +5% happiness for pops from its associated religion as well as passive benefits specific to that Deity.
- Omens: As before each deity also has an Omen that gives a larger temporary boost to its country. Rare personified deities (such as Alexander the Great or Zoroaster) also give a second immediate effect when worshipped. Their character page can also be accessed in game.
- Holy Sites: Each Deity in the game can have one Holy Site. Holy sites exist in territories around the map and apart from some local benefits they also provide a boost to the effectiveness of their associated Deity if a country owns their holy site.
- Holy Treasures: Treasures are objects that can be placed on Altars in Holy Sites, and which will benefit the entire Province to which the Holy Site belongs. How many Altars a Holy Site has depends on the type of territory. A settlement has one Altar, a city has two and a Metropolis will have 3. There are circa 100 treasures spread around the holy sites of the world as part of the Archimedes Update.
- Desecration: Holy Sites can be desecrated by their owner or a visiting army in control of their territory. Desecrating a Holy Site will transfer all of its treasures to the country performing the desecration. Desecration also causes other countries in the same religion group as the desecrated deity to lose opinion of the offender, but don’t let that stop you, because wolves aren’t concerned with the opinions of sheep.
- Honored Prophets: Since Judaism is monotheistic, it does not have a State Pantheon. Instead it will compose a group of 4 honored dead Prophets of the faith. These work similar to Deities in some respects, but give more powerful benefits when activated while also being possible to use more rarely. Monotheistic countries also cannot honor a Deity from a different religion, they are limited to only their prophets.
-Trade: You can now specify Trade Goods for which you will automatically decline all requests in the Trade View.
- Multiplayer: You can now configure AI settings that will dictate what the AI can and cannot do if you leave a game.
- Continue Button: When the game end date is reached, you can now choose to continue playing, while forsaking any achievements or custom content after this point. Go nuts, proclaim Pax Romana in 1939 AD if you want, but please send us screenshots.
- Holdings no longer stop the promotion of Slaves; instead there is now a button to halt slave promotion in a territory at a cost of Slave Happiness. Wolves, sheep, yadda yadda.
- Character Loyalty: Character Loyalty has been changed away from a system of drift over time to instead function as a sum of known modifiers. This means that at any given time characters will occupy different parts of the loyalty spectrum instead of all characters always drifting towards blind loyalty or complete defiance. To account for this all sources of character loyalty in the game has been revised and rebalanced. Traits now also play a much larger role in the base loyalty of a character.

GAMEBALANCE
Economy
- Freemen now give a bit of tax income.
- Slaves now produce a bit less tax income.
- Base Happiness for Slaves is now 90%.
- Base Happiness for Tribesmen is now 80%.

Governments
- Heir support now depends on popularity and traits as well as stats. Martial and Charisma stats are now worth more than finesse and zeal for supporters.

Characters
- Imprisoning a Head of Family now always requires a trial and risking a Civil War.
- All sources of Loyalty in the entire game have been rebalanced as part of the rework of how Character Loyalty works.
- A Character will now always take their holdings with them into a Civil War, and there is no longer a limit on how many Holdings a Character can have.
- Trials are no longer blocked by a character having 40 or more Power Base. Instead they will always be possible if the base chance is above 1%.
- The “Proscribe” Character Interaction can now be used on an imprisoned head of family to confiscate all holdings of that family. They will fall from grace and no longer be considered a Great Family of your country.
- It is now harder to take a Co-Ruler to trial.
- “Persuade Character” interaction now replaces Bribe if your ruler has orator or silver tongued. Bribe and Persuade now cost Political Influence in addition to any other effects.
- Only Heads of Family will now purchase Holdings, though any Character can acquire them through schemes or events.
- Enticing governors now requires that the governor has at least one state at low state loyalty and bordering the enticing country. Any such provinces will defect to the enticing country.

Religion
- Religious Conversion is now less quick in general to account for being able to placate pops by honouring their gods.

Units
- Elephants now have a maneuver of 0, meaning they can only target opposing units directly in front of themselves. The intent here is to simulate that elephants were largely one-dimensional battering rams on the battlefield, with enormous striking power but limited tactical maneuverability.
- Mega Polyremes now have a maneuver of 0, meaning they can only target opposing units directly in front of themselves. Ditto above, bigger is not always better.
- Fixed a number of bugs in combat deployment and also added new rules to ensure more desirable deployment outcomes:
- Supply Trains now only ever join battle once all other units on their side are depleted.
- Non flank units now reinforce the center from behind instead of from the flanks. Primary units are deployed first and secondary units second.
- Flank Units still reinforce the flanks. Designated flank units are always preferred to reinforce if available.
- Units that are instantly deployed when an army arrives to a battle that has been ongoing long enough that the retreat block has been removed will now deploy with a morale penalty.
- Units that reinforce the center but are not designated as secondary rank will now take a small hit to morale.
- Units can now require multiple things to be built. Heavy Ships now require both the right Military Traditions and Wood.

War & Peace
- The base speed for a siege tick is now 25 days instead of 30 days.
- Mercenaries now cost Gold to recruit instead of Military Experience.
- Conquered provinces now start somewhat less loyal than they used to.
- Increased War Exhaustion from Battles.

- AI should consider if they really have food prior to besieging non-wargoal forts (imperfect heuristic).

Changelog for 1.4.2 Patch (16 April 2020):

Game Balance
Economy
- Reduced population output from occupied territories by 20%.
- Manpower from tribesmen and freemen reduced by approximately 45%, non-primary dominant culture territories now provide 20% less output.

Governments
- Moving Province capital now reduces Province Loyalty instead of Political Influence. It is no longer possible to move the Province Capital if you are below 50 Province Loyalty (up from 33%). Moving province capital to a City or even more so a Metropolis will result in a lesser hit.
- Slightly reduced pop type happiness reductions from passive deity modifiers.
- War & Peace
- Macedon will now be far more likely to oppose Phrygian demands in the initial Diadochi War event series.
- Slightly reduced base experience decay for units.
- Slightly increased war exhaustion from battles.

- Characters will now gain loyalty from being made Generals or Admirals, just as they do when they are given an office or Governorship.

Script
Achievements
- Changed every country specific achievement to have a variable backup, so even if you change the country name (through a formable decision or a mission), you should still be able to get the achievement in question. Among other things this means Sparta can get ‘Molon Labe’ and ‘Laconic If’ even if they first form another country. This will not affect games started before the 1.4.2 patch.
- Meroitic culture countries are now valid for the “New Kingdom” achievement.

Decisions
- Fixed formables for the two new culture groups, Meroitic and Illyrian.
