Patch 1.02

Hello, dear players!

This patch includes the following changes:

  • Around 50% of the existing English, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese translations have been thoroughly reviewed and significantly improved. I will work to fully revise the remaining half as soon as possible.

  • Game optimization and reduced lag. (Based on performance testing, the game now runs approximately 30% faster.)

  • Further improvements to the tutorial, which was still lacking in some areas after Patch 1.01

  • Fixed the “Entering the Developed World” event and an issue where recurring aid and begging-related events would continue to appear even after reaching developed-country status

  • Fixed existing bugs related to labor support/discontent

  • Fixed the flickering tooltip bug at the top of the screen

  • Added previously missing UI elements to the Defense tab, including equipment production, troop recovery targets, estimated completion dates, and more

  • Fixed GDP-related issues

  • Major improvements to visual elements

Thank you to everyone who has shared feedback, suggestions, and reviews through the game’s reviews and forums!

I am also doing my best to maintain save compatibility for medium-sized updates such as 1.01, 1.02, and 1.03 whenever possible.

For bugs and improvements related to gameplay progression, I believe it is better to provide updates daily—or, when necessary, within just a few hours—rather than waiting for a large-scale patch. That is why I am currently following this approach. However, if you find this update schedule inconvenient, please feel free to let me know.

As mentioned in the previous announcement, Patch 1.03 will focus on further improvements to the remaining low-quality translations and UI issues, reducing hardcoded elements, expanding modding tools, improving overall game quality, and adding more quality-of-life features.

Thank you sincerely to everyone who continues to share feedback and help improve the game!

I’ll see you again in the next patch.

Have a great day, everyone!
