Latest Update:
- Balancing: only map scenarios marked as "Balanced" can be used to create (a) rated or (b) gambling games.
- Balancing for "Capture the Flag" & "Offense/Defense" goals: those modes default to unbalanced and cannot be used in rated/gambling-type games anymore (too much abuse!).
- Balancing/Modding: all map scenarios default to unbalanced! Please re-upload your map with the corresponding balanced scenarios marked as "Balanced"! They will be not able to be used for rated/gambling games otherwise.
- Translation Center: the game has now a translation center build in :-D If you want to help, please open the translation center & provide translations for your native language. You'll get coins for accepted translations :-D
- Translations via Android/iOS: the game now default to the system's onscreen keyboard, that means, you can also do voice-translations! Speak your translation & it will appear in the text box. Just fixup errors & submit :-D
- Arabic/Hebrew Rendering & Text Input: I did an overhaul over the bidirectional rendering engine. It should work a lot better. Please report problems - Thanks :-D
- Render Glyphs: Ukrainian render-glyphs added (some were missing).
- Bidirectional Cursor Input: to support Arabic & Hebrew text input, the input cursor is now bi-directional (can be turned off).
- Banned Users/Games: banned users cannot create games anymore (join will still work).
- GUI Performance: improved performance where lots of items out of view were still rendered (send to GPU). They are now not rendered.
- GUI Scrolling: scrolling was slowing down rendering (fixed a bug that did a re-layout every frame during scroll-moving).
- GUI/Awards: clicking on the awards now brings the tooltip also (e.g. useful if you are on a touch-screen!).
- Coin Display: additional refresh calls added to properly refresh the coin-balance.
- Coin Notification: will be sent to a player that has won a game and received coins.
- Steam: now shows "rich presence" & players can join someone's game directly without invite (advertised in Steam-chat!) :-D
- Steam/Language Default: is now the game's default language (ignoring the system setting).
- Steam Backend: changed to Steamworks4J 1.6.1 (was old PuppyGames library previously)
- Moderating (Admin ONLY): looking at an account now always queries the database for the latest information (reseting the cache). If a user is e.g. "banned" it will now show!
- System Onscreen-Keyboard: integrated for Android & iOS (mostly working). Go to [Settings] and enable the "Onscreen Keyboard: System" to disable if you have problems.
- Chat Function "/chess": it prints a chessboard (nothing else at the moment).
- Bugfix Saving As...: saving maps or exporting shapes didn't allow to select a file name anymore.
- Bugfix for road-building: correct image shown again in build dialog.
- Bugfix events display: will now also always show city captures (if battle-display is enabled) even if there is not "battle".
- Bugfix GUI: Toast-messages such as "Downloads Finished" are now properly displayed above everything incl. popups (so they are visible).
- Bugfix Purchasing (Steam): purchases would only work the 1. time & then get stuck with the "purchasing..." overlay.
- Bugfix Server: catching leaked DB connection.
- Bugfix Crashes/Modding: some pieces could have 'null'-positions resulting in crashes.
- Bugfix Crashes: local awards list not matching with obtained awards.
- Bugfix Crashes: due to background music player disposing already gone objects.
