Monthly summary for 2025-10 (vic3-divergences/divergences): Delivered a robust set of governance, feudal, and stability features, along with foundational testing and code quality improvements. The work emphasizes business value through enhanced governance realism, expanded game mechanics, and improved maintainability. Key features delivered: - Governance for Dual Monarchy: States General and Government Definition implemented, establishing a formal governance structure for the Dual Monarchy (commits: States General of Dual Monarquie; Definition of Government for the Dual Monarchy). - Feudal Law System Enhancements: Implemented and expanded feudal laws for DM, Burgundy subjecthood, and taxation, enabling more realistic governance and revenue models. - Feudal Military Organization: Introduced Feudal Dual Monarchy Army mechanics/branch to improve military strategy and persistence of feudal forces. - Initial Company Setup at Game Start: Wales Company and Zizka Brothers Company initialized at game start, supporting early-game economic activity. - Spring and Culture/Tradition Adjustments: Limit Spring of the People to Burgundy; Anglois Tradition for French; VOC Culture Acceptance removal to reflect policy shifts. - Other gameplay features: European fire adjustments; Name adaptation for entities; Better needs for companies; Move Capital to Tripoli; Remove spread homeland cadien; Policy and Administrative Reforms (Ancien Régime bureaucracy and Accord Général); General enhancements to code quality and readability including code quality improvements. - Testing Setup and Utilities: Added initial testing scaffolding and tests to improve quality assurance. Major bugs fixed: - Resolve issue: People\'s springtime resolved (stability and correctness for the event). - VOC Culture Acceptance Removal: Removed Dutch as an accepted VOC culture to reflect policy changes. - Union of Crosses Formation Fix: Resolved non-formation issue for the union of crosses. - General corrections and fixes: Batch of minor corrections and value fixes across the changeset to improve stability and correctness. - Core Bug Fixes (Fixes 1-3): Addressed core functionality issues in batch 4. - Miscellaneous Bug Fixes and Minor Improvements: Various fixes to improve stability and correctness, plus cleanup of non-descriptive commits. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved governance realism and strategic alignment by introducing formal Dual Monarchy governance and feudal-law-based mechanics. - Expanded gameplay with new military and early-game setup features, enhancing player agency and strategic planning. - Strengthened stability and maintainability through comprehensive code quality improvements and an initial testing framework. - Enabled faster QA cycles and future iteration through testing scaffolding. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Systems modeling: governance structures, feudal laws, and army mechanics. - Data and event scoping: limiting events to regions (e.g., Spring of the People to Burgundy). - Localization/Adaptation: name adaptations and culture-related changes. - Code quality and maintainability: code readability improvements, better needs logic, and broader refactoring. - QA readiness: testing setup and test scaffolding added to support ongoing quality assurance.
