Hello,
Today is a perfect day for Day 1 patch! In less then 24 hours since release, we've received a ton of your responses, ideas and reports. All of them are appreciated, and it helped us make a list of priorities.
Every post of yours is being read, and work on improvements already started last night. And to avoid making you all wait too long, we'll start making updates immediately. Some features that require a bit more time will arrive in subsequent updates, but we'll start today, and have a series of patches in coming days. After that we'll move forward to bigger improvements for game and release them as they are finished.
IMPORTANT NOTE: A couple of the improvements that were announced in the news earlier today (AI tweaks and additional notifications) didn't make it for this patch. All of them are already "on the table", but not all tests are completed yet, so we'll continue right away and have it ready for next patch overnight or tomorrow. We sincerely apologize for that, but game is now live and we want to be careful and test and re-test everything before letting it loose.
Long story short, here are the contents of update No.1:
CHANGES
Additions
- Option to copy/paste city name from a simple Notepad, now works for non-latin writing too
Fixes
- Food shortage will no longer result in the instant death of everyone. It's going to take longer giving you more time to respond.
- Trading fee is now displayed correctly when affected by additional modifiers
- Several graphics options are now displayed correctly
Tweaks
- If food or firewood is critical, these resources become priority for transport
- Annual panel refresh enhanced, no more missing lines in panel
- Hardware mouse is now set as default setting
- Social issues tweaked and re-balanced to have less drastic effect. Reduced the drop rate
- Optimization - Dynamic array reach improved, several redundant checks removed
- Annual list now contains properly localized names in various languages
As noted in the earlier news, the AI changes and the notification boosts are next on the agenda to finish up testing and get those things out in the open.
Thank you for patience and support!
Expect the next update very soon!
