Election Train changes
🌟 New Features
♾️ Unlimited (∞) Turn Timer — A new option for the turn timer. Remove the time limit entirely and plan your strategy at your own pace.
💡 In-Game Party Passive Tooltip — A reminder of your party's passive ability is now available right inside the match.
🎯 See Your Own Vote % with CTRL — Hold CTRL to view your own vote percentage on the city pucks. A new tutorial step explains how.
🎬 Game-Over Razor-Thin Highlight — The end screen now marks cities won or lost by a razor-thin margin with a dedicated indicator.
⚖️ Balance & Improvements
🛡️ Mini-games now protect the leader — If the leader wins the mini-game, they can't extend their lead any further (only protect it); votes are transferred only when the challenger wins. Leader selection is now game-mode aware too.
👾 Rebalanced bot difficulty in the SpaceMash mini-game for a fairer fight.
🤝 Team/coalition UI overhaul: shared materials and per-member rows in the player tooltip, member avatars and material icons in the opponent picker, and cleaner lobby podium labels and alignment.
🐛 Bug Fixes
🃏 Fixed the REMAINING scenarios where cancelling a card with ESC could duplicate it (including the underlying root cause that occurred while dragging and reordering your hand).
🔊 Fixed the train sound being far too loud.
🖱️ Fixed city hover-highlight disappearing in some matches.
📊 Fixed votes from party passives not being reflected on screen immediately ("phantom percentage").
🎵 Mini-game result sound now plays in sync with the animation.
↩️ Fixed a cancelled card returning to the wrong slot when targeting an opponent.
💬 Fixed name and color display issues in the direct-message (DM) dropdown.
🗺️ Fixed how Cyprus is displayed on the Europe map.
🏷️ Region names now display correctly everywhere.
✨ Various UI and stability improvements.
Keep playing, and let us know if you spot anything off — we're on it. Have fun, and good luck at the ballot box! 🚂🗳️
