The huge list of changes (since it incorporates the previous betapatches, I believe) is here:

Just thought someone might like to know.

W00t! Maybe this will solve my crashes.

I wish more developers were as supportive of their products as Paradox is... still making patches for games that were released almost 2 and 1/2 years ago is nearly unheard of elsewhere...

[Grumbold]

It looks like a very comprehensive patch, but as someone who just likes a casual game of EU2 once in a while it all seems geared to making things a heck of a lot harder. Tax income down, tech costs up, penalties to diploannex, yadda yadda yadda. I think the fun factor peaked somewhere around v1.05 personally.

i don't agree as i only play casual games of eu2 now. ever since i've mastered eu2 single player i welcome more difficulty. if you haven't mastered eu2 yet 1.05 is probably the best for fun and no one is stopping you from playing it.

but 1.08 adds so much more to the game than 1.05.

not to mention a lot of bugfixes.

China's new opening is a pain in the butt.

I don;t know, but I just had my entire imperial army of 60,000 plus beaten repeatedly by Vietnamese forces a third to a fifth as big! That is just wrong.

[Eli]

Is it only me or did the rebels got much stronger? With the exception of the smallest rebellions, it always takes me at least two armies to defeat them. One to cause lots of casualties and lose and the other to kill them off. :\

[GePap]

Rebels ow begin at your own tech level, as opposed to much lower like before.

It's been like that since a few betapatches ago, I think...still, rebels don't show up as often now, which kind of balances things.
