Knights of Honor II: Sovereign

Update Overview This is the sixth major update since the release of Knights of Honor II: Sovereign. This time we focused on rebellions and added new features to allow players to better handle rebellions and unrest. As always, thank you to everyone who tried this version during our beta and provided us with feedback. Changes to Rebellions Even the wisest of rulers sometimes cannot prevent a revolt against their rule. Until now, a rebel army could only be defeated in battle. With this update, we are also giving players the opportunity to give in to the rebels’ demands and restore order quickly. • New Feature: “Pay off rebellion” Players can now choose to pay off a rebellion to quickly restore order. Paying off a rebellion costs gold and all conquered provinces are ceded to the rebels. Special rebels like loyalists can also demand additional provinces. • Imminent rebellions are now indicated by a new icon in the city selection UI together with additional information. • In some cases, the game now warns players earlier about the risk of rebellions. Quality of Life Improvements • Multiplayer: Player kingdoms are now indicated on the map by a special icon in the multiplayer lobby. • Mult

Update Overview This is the fifth major update since the release of Knights of Honor II: Sovereign. With this update, we added more depth and features to the game’s Vassalage mechanics, allowing players to choose if their vassals should contribute to their war efforts, economy or books and faith income. This version also adds more modifiers to the Army Supply system, making it even more important for players to keep an eye on their armies’ situation. Running out of supplies now has a serious impact on your soldiers’ performance and can easily turn the tide in battle. Special thanks to everyone who tried this version during our public beta. Your feedback was invaluable, and we will certainly continue the public beta with the next version. Keep your eyes open for the next couple of weeks for our beta-announcement on Steam and Discord! Changes to Vassalage We added three special types of vassalage: Scutage, March and Sacred Land. Players can change the vassal type with a special option available to their king. Scutage: • Vassal is protected by its sovereign; the sovereign must aid it in all defensive wars • Sovereign receives +100% gold tribute • Vassal generates +100% gold from popul

Bugfixes and changes • Fixed a major bug causing vassals to demand their sovereign’s support every time a campaign was loaded. This will still happen if a savegame from a previous patch version is loaded, saving the campaign with this patch version fixes the problem. • Updated the Convert Vassal Religion Action Icon • Decreased crown authority penalty for refusing to help a vassal from -3 to -2 • Decreased cleric opinion penalty for refusing to help a vassal from -3 to -1 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/35668827/6c7d35104908669977c3635d02f408a750fb5e2a.jpg
