First of all. Thank you all for your feedback. And thanks to the few-hundred of people who joined the Discord and discuss with us what we could add and what we should fix. We currently have around 3000 people with access to the playtest. We are not sure, how many more we can add at this point, but we might have a key or two left for Discord Users.
Now, what have we been working on? A new patch obviously. And we've got quite some changes for you today.

Known Issues with this build
Obviously, not all reported errors have been adressed. Generally the build should run more stable now. We have an issue with flickering ground textures of buildings right now we're investigating. Also it might be that on mouseovers buildings disappear.
