  • City view has a new roll-over UI that shows it's tribute type and cultural traits that Mate's will have. (hover over city title bar to view)

  • Volcano world is made visible from the start of the game on mini-map to give players a clear long term incentive to explore the overworld.

  • For a limited time, all of our store banner images changed to be Halloween themed.

Bug Fixes & Other Changes

  • New sideview stone backing art can be toggled off when "special effects" setting is set to off.

  • Added support for 1680x1050 resolution.

  • 1600x900 and 1680x1050 resolutions have better sidebar art!

  • Fixed crash when starting new game in 800x640 mode.

  • Fixed bug where tickets associated with already linked stations could linger.

  • Station tickets associated with a connected station now get destroyed properly. (This should also help fix or reduce any instances of your held items getting replaced by tickets)

  • Fixed bug where pop-up "Enter" button at bottom of screen would stay up when moving from a town next to a border passage into the next world.

  • Fixed a few instances of bugs that would cause buildings to disappear when leaving then returning to a world.

  • Now save minor "in-turn" changes like dropping and picking up items to help with syncing saved data in many edge case situations.

NOTE: Some of the game features and bug fixes will not retroactively update on existing saves, but some will. Start a new game if a part of this update does not seem to be present. Thanks again for your amazing support. If you appreciate theses updates it would mean a lot to our small company to get a positive review on our game store page!
