Patch Notes
Plot Management
Players will now get plot tokens in accordance with their plan.
Placing new plots now consumes a token. Tokens fuel a plot for a month.
Plots will default to auto-renewal; in essence, they will be set to attempt to consume a new token automatically once their time expires.
Plot auto-renewal can be turned off, giving players more manual control over how they want to utilize their tokens.
[Important Warning]: Players need to be careful not to overspend excess tokens for new plots if they rely on them to fuel their current world claims.
If a plot expires and it’s not renewed by a token, it will be frozen. This means that no one can build on it, and unless renewed, it will be automatically released in 3 days.
A removed plot (either manually released or automatically removed) will retain the remaining time on the empty slot, allowing it to be reused for a new plot.
Tutorial
Pax Dei now features additional tutorials to make the game more approachable for new players. We recommend opening the plot menu and checking the related tutorial out if you’re planning to use the skip feature to disable the rest of the tutorials.
You can now reset the tutorial from the settings menu, in General.
Performance
