Hello Kaingans!
I've got another hotfix patch here to repair a lot of common issues players have been having, and hopefully smooth the experience more. Hopefully this will be my last patch that doesn't include anything new! But there continues to be issues I'd like to get fixed for you, so I've been keeping my focus.
I've fixed the issues with widescreen and the bindable keys which was critical in my mind. I have made steps in improving ladders and boats, but please be patient as I continue to make them behave as expected.
Next step is to work on how the AI build and grow their towns!

I'm aware this is a mighty list, and also aware there are still more issues to get to. I'm also really happy with the reception and response from the community.
