Victoria 3 Patch 1.1 is now available. This massive update brings a lot of good improvements to the game’s AI.
There are situations in Victoria 3 where war is inevitable. This being the case, players can always choose to end the war as quickly as possible by making peace with the enemy. In Patch 1.1, the AI is now more willing to accept a White Peace deal the longer the war goes on. White Peace is basically a peace treaty where all parties agree to end hostilities, except that this is done when the war has already gotten much worse.
Additionally, the AI is now better when it must produce more military goods of a certain type.
This update has reworked the Morale mechanic as well. Now, players will get a base loss of Morale for every round of battle, which is further influenced by the difference in casualties and other modifiers.

- Reworked Legitimacy to provide bonuses and penalties to countries at different Legitimacy levels
