ChangeLog Version v1.5.3 + AI 0.2.0 (english)
Release: 24.02.2026
Features:
- You can now use the measure Host a Feast... in your Residence from expansion level 5 (Manor House). With the help of feasts, you can improve certain reputation values, as well as your Charisma talent and your Realm Reputation. Depending on the chosen combination, feasts cost different amounts of gold.
- You now have the ability to scale the AD1401 UI according to your preferences. For this purpose, the UI Scaling option is available in your user settings. You can freely scale the UI in 5% increments within a range of 50% to 150%. The setting is applied automatically after saving. The setting is additionally stored in the AD1401_settings cookie, allowing you to use different scaling values on different devices.
- With this version, the new Reputation System is introduced.
- Each dynasty now possesses multiple reputation values that reflect how it is perceived by the game world.
These values change based on your actions, decisions, and events.
Newly added are:
- Sympathy
- Righteousness
- Character
- Influence
- Piety
- Esteem
- All values range between −100 and +100.
- Additionally, an overall reputation is calculated, composed of all individual values.
- In version 1.5.3, reputation does not yet have direct effects on gameplay mechanics. The system is intentionally introduced in advance to allow players to gradually shape their reputation.
- Visibility: Other players will (in the future) only see the overall reputation. Individual values are visible only to the respective player. The display is presented via a new bar visualization. All values are displayed as integers.
- If a player starts a new game (either because their dynasty has died out or they voluntarily begin anew), 60% of the reputation is carried over into the new game as Burden of the Past.
- Each dynasty now possesses multiple reputation values that reflect how it is perceived by the game world.
These values change based on your actions, decisions, and events.
Newly added are:
-
The measure Throw Coins into the Collection is now available in the city church.
- The measure Define City Faith is now available to the office of Bishop.
- The following items now possess measures that affect your reputation and can be used via the personal inventory:
- Statue
- Amber Ring
- Lucky Stone
- Secret Mixtures
- Reformation Writings
- Letter of Indulgence
- Rogue Robe
- Grimbergen
- Statue
Balance:
- The item Helmet of Barbarossa now doubles the individual victory chance when used. Furthermore, it no longer reduces competitors’ victory probability to 1 nor sets your own to infinity.
AI:
- No changes
UI:
- Various minor corrections.
Miscellaneous:
- In the Cart Overview, only carts from buildings that actually exist and are no longer under construction are now displayed and counted.
- The measure Grant Absolution is now assigned to the office of Archbishop (previously Bishop).
- When you upgrade a building, a progress indicator is now displayed.
- The measure Remove Character from Group has been implemented.
- The tooltip display has been optimized and unified for better clarity.
- The measure responsible for the achievement I Found It! has been revised. A total of 30 discoverable puddles are available in the world. However, the system changes the “correct” puddle at will.
- Players now have the ability to disable the options Render Clouds and Render Animations in their User Settings. This function results in a static display of clouds and animations (icons) and can improve performance and clarity on mobile devices. The setting is stored both globally (as fallback) and device-specific in the AD1401_settings cookie, allowing you to configure it individually for each device on which you play AD1401.
Bugfixing:

- It was possible to send carts to buildings that were still under construction.

- The measure Seat Someone on the Pillory was already shown as available at expansion level 1.
- Display issues with tooltips for cooldowns were corrected.
- The item Perfume remained after use and could therefore be used endlessly.
Technical Changes:
- Integration of new versions of jQuery, jQuery UI, and Bootstrap.
- Improved detection of missing sessions including enhanced routing.
