Latest Update:
- Top Rated Profile Award (monthly): the top rated player each month will receive a new trophy in their profile :-D
- Profile Award - Activity: if a player is active during the month, +1 Viral award will be handed out :-D
- Profile Award - Modding: for players that submitted maps & got their map accepted.
- Profile Awards - "Supporter" & "Sugar Daddy": for Supporters & Sugar Daddies (that made purchases and gave out gifts to other players).
- Accounts in Bad Standing: disabled, banned or flagged accounts will now show an icon over their profile picture to warn others :-D
- Balancing Administration: the cost is now based on f(x) = -x^3 + 3x^2. The previous function used a circle equation to determine costs which would result in the cost suddenly to skyrocket and the abruptly resolve to linear. Please note that administration will increase a few gold for smaller nations!
- Decree Icons: they are now shown on the province overview & city views. Indicate if a decree can be executed or not (non grayed out). Please note, you need to download the latest map versions to see them.
- Decree Icons/Modding: please download the latest template.ZIP & apply the bundle.config to your map to have them contain decree icons!
- Military Upkeep: there is no an option to enable/disable adjustable military upkeep. If disabled, military upkeep is fixed at 100%. If enabled, troops can grow/shrink depending on the level of upkeep selected (like before).
- Military Upkeep/Modding: please uncheck the parameter "Military Upkeep" (new checkbox), to disable the option by default for your map! It's on by default.
- Military Upkeep: I have adjusted all the "noblemaster" maps to have adjustable military upkeep disabled by default (you can enable it still during game setup if desired)!
- Game Status (multiplayer): re-ordered so games where you are alive are listed higher up than games were you were already eliminated.
- Game Deletions (auto): non-ended/ongoing games are not deleted as quickly as ended games.
- Multiplayer Policy: please note that (a) scamming players by repeatedly setting up unfair games and (b) false advertisement of games is not tolerated anymore (Guide updated).
- GUI/Menu: improved incl. the top bar which is now narrower.
- GUI Input: Bugfix for text-selection in text-input (position was thought to be centered while it wasn't). Also, newline now should work correctly :)
- GUI Input: up/down cursor-key should now work :-D
- GUI Input: now supports text selection, copy/paste etc.
- Admin Terminal: interface improved (moderators ONLY).
- Server: monitoring updated (Admin only). Emergency mode added to allow logs when services could not be instantiated.
- Server: performance update during reboot (backup was slow - increased speed by moving backup finalization outside). Also using Liquibase 3.5.3 which should be faster.
- Server: backend updated (Jetty 9.2.20 + ActiveMQ 5.14.3)
- Bugfix/Saved Games Listing: for some players the games wouldn't show (load the list forever). That's because an empty files could break the loading of the files list.
- Bugfix League-Results: only the 1. player that finished was recognized, the other players were added to the wrong table :-/
- Bugfix Spelling: loose - lose!
- Bugfix Language Detection & Selection (Locale): was not working correctly for some corner cases.
- Bugfix Crashes: Server Dashboard when Blitz-Servers are down.
- Bugfix Crashes: when notice-manager was null (i.e. not logged in/connected).
