KR4 Alpha 0.4.5 - ‘Danube, Alps and Adria’​

The Kaiserreich team are proud to present hotfix 0.4.5 ‘Danube, Alps and Adria’. The long overdue Austrian rework is finally done! This is a larger ‘hotifx’, containing a multitude of fixes, minor additions, two new trees, the reworked Austrian and Japanese trees and DoD compatibility. The next major update, 0.5, is a long way away, but hopefully this will be enough to keep you busy until then. Finally, we have hit 100,000 subscribers on steam, this is really something for us. Back in the HOI2 and DH days we didn’t have a unified way of knowing just how many people played our mod. Thank you.

The KR4 team

P.S. we apologise for the delay in the patch, but on the upside it gave us time to make this patch compatible with both 1.4 and 1.4.1, so we shouldn’t need an update as soon. Again, sorry for the delay.

Fixed some other stuff we forgot to add to the bug tracker
* We have decided to go against our usual policy, and ship the incomplete Japanese rework rather than waiting for it to be finished. Japan has been unmaintained for several months now, and thus we believe that however buggy the unfinished rework is, it can only be better than the live version. The rest of the rework, foreign policy in particular, will be in 0.5, until then bug reports are even more appreciated than normal.
