Greetings, Viceroys!
We’re at the finish line of delivering the new update, so it’s time to share some sneak peeks!
The update’s main theme is Quality of Life, as we’ve focused on various improvements to enhance the game experience, including:
- Town Statistics
- Production Statistics
- Mirroring buildings
- Deed information on World Map Modifier tooltips
- More irregular building footprints
- Balance changes to Cornerstones, Orders, and Rewards in general
Quality of Life Update (1.7) will be released on February 18th between 2:00 PM UTC and 6:00 PM UTC. Make sure to finish your ongoing settlements before the update goes live—otherwise, they’ll need to be closed. More details below!
What's new
Statistics
Soon, you’ll be able to see various settlement data, including a summary of global bonuses and effects, production statistics, and settlement statistics (such as a Reputation breakdown).
In other words, more numbers to stare at while pretending you have everything under control!
Mirroring buildings
For those of you who like building in style, we’re adding an option to flip buildings horizontally.
Which means you can finally place Harpy Houses like this:
Perfection.
And more
We're also shaking up the meta a bit by rebalancing some yearly Cornerstones, Orders, and rewards in multiple places (packs, orders, events).
How to prepare
Finish the settlement before the Update
Important: Due to numerous systemic changes, the update will close the ongoing settlements to prevent potential issues. As compensation, you’ll receive Citadel Resources equal to winning that game and a Royal Resupply.
If you don't want your ongoing settlement to be closed, please be sure to finish it before the update goes live on February 18th. Your Cycle progress and meta progress will remain intact.
For a limited time, we will also be leaving the current 1.6 version on a separate Steam branch so that you can complete the settlement if you are unable to do so before the Quality of Life Update (1.7) goes live. However, we recommend that you consider this option as a last resort.
