Update 3.20 is here and we’ve made changes to our Balanced Blitz Dice in larger battles and released our first ever Community Map Pack. Huge thanks to all our beta testers for your support and feedback on this update, especially around Blitz Dice.
Update: We're aware of a visual bug where eliminated players are being shown in the UI as bots. We're currently investigating the issue, watch this space.
Major Improvements
Balanced Blitz Dice Changes
Blitz dice logic has been completely overhauled and should be more balanced and more predictable. Read a dev diary on changes here.
Bot Out & Surrender Flow Updates: We’ve fixed bugs and cleaned up logic pertaining to bot out.
Missing players, surrendered and permanently botted out players should all be flagged correctly in the UI.
Neutral AI should no longer force you to wait for a surrendering player to bot out before skipping their turn.
Botting out rules have been simplified: players will bot out permanently after two full turns of inactivity.
Defeating the final human player will no longer end the game early. Players can still surrender when they are the last human player for full RP gains.

General Improvements
We’ve done a sweep of our camera bounds for all maps. Maps should always let you scroll all the way out, and scroll far enough to easily interact with outer territories.
