Hello rulers!
for this update, we're mostly focused on bringing you a much-requested feature: shortcuts! We've also worked on the stability in the relationships and we balanced the morale and the events.
However, before we jump on to the patch notes, we have a very special announcement to make: a 1.1 update is coming... soon!
Next to come: the 1.1 Update!
For the last 3 weeks, we've been working hard to fix the most urgent issues and bugs on Lakeburg Legacies. We've also worked on the balancing of the game ang added some of the most requested features (shortcuts, endless mode).
Thanks to your precious feedback, we've identified other areas that need to be added and/or reworked. This is why we're very excited to announce that we're working on a major 1.1 Update for Lakeburg Legacies
Since this will require a lot of work, this update will take several weeks to be released.
This also means that today's patch should be the last patch before the 1.1 Update, unless there are bugs that need to be fixed.
