Ah okay, I understand why it still said 1.0 now, thank you.

As for the Japanese problem (Korea sitting on its reform points forever) I see in the changelog notes under development version: "Fixed a bug that potentially made unciv AI stuck trying to pick a reform."

Github.com

I'm guessing that must be related to whatever the author implemented to fix it.

I am loving the mod so far and I'm glad someone was able to continue HPM in some way.

I had a couple questions about it though. Firstly, when I start up Victoria 2 I notice Imgur.com (it shows up at the startup launcher as HPMP 1.0 even after downloading the 2.0 version; I've never played before this also.)

Secondly, I'm playing as Japan and have puppetted and sphered Korea. This was around 1860's. I'm now into the 1880's and Korea was still at 30% civilization progress. After saving my game and loading in as Korea I saw that in addition to being bankrupt they were sitting on a large amount of research points and hadn't done any reforms. (they were at the saved research point limit I believe).
I remember that the original HPM author fixed this behavior somehow but I'm unsure how he actually did it. It was in the last version released; the developer version. Github.com

That did the trick; thanks a lot! =)

After updating it seems to work great! The only bug I could see at start was the United States of America had a different flag. It was completely dark blue and had two hoops at the top (like the number '8' except on its side).

Update: After implementing The_Reader's suggestion of changing every instance of ai = no to ai = yes I ran some tests by playing 9 games as Imperial Japan from start to 1900. It seemed to lower the instances of Korea not civilizing. (Korea successfully westernized in 4 of the 9 games played) I still encountered several situations in the other 5 games played where Korea caps their research points (28,000 I believe) and never spends them. Yet each game they get stuck at different levels of civilization such as 35%, 45%, and one time even at 95%.
One possible explanation for this bug may be Korea's status as a Puppet of Great Qing vs. when they get their independence early due to rebellion, event, or victorious Heavenly Kingdom. (the instance of Korea being stuck at 95% civilization was during the game where the Heavenly Kingdom won the war against Great Qing and dropped all of its puppets) I will play more games in order to see if the instances of the not-civilizing bug occur the same, less, or more often when Korea gets early independence from Great Qing. I will also try what another person suggested here and continue on into the 1900's and see if the ai begins to actively westernize.

I have experienced Korea also remaining "uncivilized" in several single player games. (Ex. being in 1929 and Korea sits at 45% civilized.)
For your proposed fix, where is the location of the ai=yes?
Edit: Read your post too fast, I see you said common/issues.

I'm experiencing the same issue guest was. It seems that conquering no longer gives research points like it used to. (I was under the impression that you receive research points from conquering as long as the target has 10% or more civilization progress)
One other issue I noticed after playing a few games as shogunate and imperial is that certain decisions are now locked to both.Playing as Shogun there was always an option to have power pass to the Emperor after the Boshin War and the passing of the Meji Constitution/reforms. But atm is seems that Shogun Japan can only pass decisions up to "Peace with the Emperor" with any further ones not shown. (Ending up with situations where your #1 Great power in 1900's but your still "Shogunate)
