General Notes
This patch like the previous couple has been focused on clearing a big backlog of bugs that playtesters and our QA team have discovered. There have also been several new bugs that the new AI/Behaviors introduced, but we've been able to fix many of these already.
End-of-Month Playtesting Event
Our team is focused on delivering our most stable and playable build for our November 29th/30th end of month playtesting event. We really appreciate everyone sending bug reports in and we're excited to show some of the new content as well (including guard towers and castles!). Our diplomacy mechanics are coming along really well too, they will be added very soon.
