FHM Update 12.1.24 Has Been Released

An update for for FHM12, version 12.1.24, has just been released.



This update addresses a few issues that took a little too long to fix and check to make it into the initial hotfix, as well as some things that have become evident since then. There will likely be one more update to address thing that need a little longer to work on (such as trade AI) before we begin doing content updates, the first of which will include the "current" version of the database with post-opening night player moves.
