- **changed** — Fleets with insufficient capacity to transport an army will now make multiple trips to get the entire army to its destination
- **changed** — Cut the infamy cost of Threaten Naval Hostilities in half

Victorians,

We have a small hotfix with a major improvement to troop transportation and another to balancing the infamy cost for Threatening Naval Hostilities.

As always, please report any bugs on [our bug reporting forums](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/victoria-3-bug-reports.1114/)! We have also updated the [Known Issues post for 1.13](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/known-issues-update-1-13.1919129/) with any fixed issues.

Moving on, you can check out the full patch notes below. 1.13.3’s checksum is `654a`.

The following changes have been made to the game compared to 1.13.2:

##### **Improvements**

- Ordering a fleet with insufficient capacity to transport an army will now have it make multiple trips to get the entire army to its destination. Moving any queued formations will result in them not being transported, while moving/giving a mission to the transporting fleet will cancel all further planned transportations.

- There is a known issue: if an army is transported to a state that becomes invalid (e.g. when a state changes occupation) - the fleet will get stuck mid-ocean. Sending the fleet on any mission to any sea node fixes the issue, and the fleet can be stationed in any state afterwards to disembark the transported army.

##### **Balance**

- Cut the infamy cost of Threaten Naval Hostilities in half
