Patch Notes: v2.0.0-beta.1614 (Beta)

──────────────────────── NEW FEATURES ────────────────────────

Appearance & Themes

• A new Appearance panel (hotkey A) lives in the header on every theme. Open it to switch themes, scale text from 75% to 150%, and pick a custom font for each text role — Header, Subhead, Body, UI, Numbers, and Italic — with a live preview as you browse.

• Each text role now has its own size slider on top of its font picker, so you can fine-tune the look of headings, body copy, numbers, and more.

• The Appearance panel is a draggable, non-modal window — move it where you like and keep it open while you play and switch tabs to compare looks across screens.

• AddedTwo new themesParchment and CleanOS theme are available. I'm still working on these a bit, but you'll get the gist.

• The Dossier theme now has its own "typed case-file" font identity (stamped headers, typewriter section labels, printed-report body).

Floating Notepad

• A floating, draggable Notepad (hotkey N) you can jot save-specific notes in. It floats over the game without blocking it, can be resized, and remembers its position. Extra bonus: the Growth Tasks panel can now float the same way.

──────────────────────── QUALITY OF LIFE ────────────────────────

• Per-class roster composition is now shown when signing, extending, or browsing a recruit — see at a glance how many of that class you have, how many are in a party, how many are aging out, and how many are on the trade block.

• The Weekly Summary now itemizes income from active (in-progress) faction contracts, not just completion bonuses, so the weekly drip from your contracts is visible.

• The War College mentor picker now previews which two stats a mentor will impart (+1 to their two highest), so you can choose the right teacher before committing.

• The auto-refine "refine up to N" cap now appears in the Material Processing view too, right where you see how many you own. Its misleading "/wk" label is gone — it's a stock ceiling, not a weekly rate.

• Refreshed header icons: clean line-art glyphs, a consistent icon order across all themes, and tooltips that show each control's hotkey in a uniform "Name (Hotkey: X)" format.

• New hotkeys for Appearance (A), Notepad (N), and Weekly Summary (W), all listed in the keyboard-shortcuts overlay.

• Adventurer intel rows now show the full intel text on hover alongside the source staffer.

• A vast localization pass: huge swaths of previously English-only text — material, building, training, quest, profession, relationship, ambition, and world-event names; zodiac and personality descriptions; contract clauses; potential-tier and crafting labels; recruit dossier insights; live-feed and report headlines; staff quips; and more — now display in your selected language across all supported locales.

──────────────────────── BALANCE ────────────────────────

• Quest gold rewards bumped roughly +23% and raid gold roughly +14%.

• Closed a trade-offer "shotgun" exploit: you can no longer back many simultaneous offers with the same offered adventurer or materials to fish for an independent acceptance roll on each.

• High-caliber recruits now weigh your guild's renown when deciding to sign — a poor reputation makes stars reluctant, while an established reputation reassures them. Prying a star into a low-renown guild via trade is likewise harder, and deeply loyal, homegrown, or family-legacy adventurers resist being traded away.

• Rival material demand stays varied as a save ages — neutral materials occasionally dip into transient shortages instead of collapsing to each guild's fixed buy list.

• With a scout on staff, your guild can occasionally turn up exclusive self-found quest leads that pay better than the open board. Rival Guilds will not have access to quests of this type.

• If a rival declines your trade offer, you can now re-propose better terms to that guild the same week (the offer still spends a weekly trade slot).

• The global "declined proposal burns a weekly trade slot" penalty has been replaced with a per-guild patience budget driven by trust. A rejection no longer taxes your whole turn; instead, each guild will only hear you out so many times a week, and friendlier guilds are more patient. This directly resolves the original report (you can keep trading) while keeping the anti-spam intent (you can't hammer one guild forever), and it gives the trust system a second, felt job.

──────────────────────── BUG FIXES ────────────────────────

• Fixed raids double-applying the Renown Rate slider, which was crushing raid renown rewards.

• Rivals no longer pile duplicate poaching offers onto your single best adventurer week after week.

• Injured rival adventurers now actually heal over time instead of being stuck "Injured" forever.

• Rival registry panels now show correct roles — multi-word classes like Crusader Paladin (Melee) and Stone Druid (Tank) are no longer mislabeled, and Bard reads as Healer.

• A building renovated down from Masterwork to a lower quality no longer keeps showing the stale "Masterwork Construction" badge.

• German tower and boss names (like KöNigin, WäChter) are no longer mangled by faulty title-casing.

• The live feed no longer shows English founding-seed and rival tower-warning messages in non-English games, and many older saved feed and report entries now display in your language.

• The Classic theme is the default again; Parchment and other themes remain available as opt-in choices in Settings. Saved theme choices are respected.

• Fixed the Parchment header rendering as stacked blocks instead of a single row, the Appearance panel pushing the page down when opened, and the Dossier theme breaking the Appearance panel and Notepad layout.

• Removed the gold corner brackets from the Parchment theme and bumped up tiny text sizes for readability. The Settings text-size slider now matches the Appearance panel's range.
