All eyes are set on Arc of Tomorrow and Earthrise in 2027, but in the meantime, we’re iterating on some of our gameplay systems in Update 1.5.1 to shore up our foundations. Here are the highlights:
Liberation: Return captured settlements to their original founders and improve your relationship with them. You can also free conquered City-States previously under your Suzerainty and reclaim their bonuses.
New map types: Explore the new Randomized Earth map with generated terrain, and a choice between historic and randomized start locations. Also, try out the new aptly-named Donut Map featuring interior and exterior oceans.
Great People Rework: Never found the right opportunity to train a Great Person? Now, instead of the production queue, you access them through unique unlock conditions!
UI Improvements: Empire management has been made easier with the new Unit List and Map Search panels.
And of course, improved stability, several squashed bugs, and other improvements will be included in the full 1.5.1 patch notes when they release next week. We'll see you then!
