Summary (AI)
Patch 1.245 for Fall of an Empire introduces a timed, gold-cost mechanic for relocating population and makes rebellions originate from the angriest demographic group to heighten local tensions. The UI has been improved with modifier indicator tooltips in faction overviews, a two-column power blocs layout, and sortable settlement population rows with enhanced tooltips. Steam Deck users receive performance-optimized defaults, including 30 FPS caps and UI scaling, while new content adds historical rulers, updated factions, and expanded diplomatic options for barbarian groups. Key balance changes adjust religion conversion dynamics and war scoring, and numerous bug fixes address military UI issues, succession mechanics, prisoner handling, and interaction visibility. The patch also adds Vietnamese language support and updates scenario setup to use human-readable JSON configuration.
Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

  • Rebellions now emerge from the angriest demographic group, making local demographic tensions much more important
  • Two-column layout for the power blocs screen
  • Character finder now shows all characters by default
  • Camera recentres on settlements when cycling with the arrow buttons
  • Cloud save deletion for Steam and Epic
  • Vietnamese language support Content & Modding
  • Character and scenario setup has been moved to human-readable JSON instead of CSV/DataTables
  • Scenario JSON can now define the player faction, preserve custom courtiers, and persist province region colours
  • Religion conversion now uses per-pop dynamics with resistance and persecution instead of flat settlement-level pressure
  • Conversion pressure now needs at least a 5% religious share before it starts to matter
  • Per-pop unrest now slows cultural assimilation
  • Occupying an enemy capital now gives additional war score
