This update features the first part of the Warmongers update which features a big change to the surrender mechanic that will please many of you. We have removed the forced-surrender feature of the game; AI cities will no longer be able to surrender without your permission. However, if you refuse a surrender and you have 100% war score, you will take reputation penalties from the other cities for being such a warmonger. Let us know what you think of the new balance.
We’ve also significantly increased the damage output of city turrets because they were tickling ships a little too softly.
