Using the new system I built for this feature, I also updated a few things in scenarios.

  • Spain in 1700 now has the flag of Burgundy.

  • China in 0 now has a Han-dynasty symbol as its flag.

  • Germany in 1900 is called Germany again, but retains the German Empire flag.

  • In 1300 and 1700 France now has the flag of the Kingdom of France, instead of the modern Republican flag.

  • For more historical accuracy, Afghanistan, Portugal, and Iran now have a different flag in almost every scenario.

  • Cambodia in 1300 now uses the Khmer Empire flag created by Khnom.

  • Added a flag for the Champa, Lavo, Pegu, and Sukhthai Kingdoms.

Multiplayer

  • You can now invite friends via a new button in the main menu and the Steam overlay, and you can join your friends through Steam.

Gameplay

  • You can now change your country's traditional language.

  • There is now a "Conquer x amount of places" button in the region and the country panel, which can be used to plan several conquests at once against the selected region or country.

  • "Cancel plans here" buttons have been added to the region and country panels.

Other changes

  • Improved the visibility of flags on the ground.

  • Explosions on the ground now leave traces for a bit.

  • Something about inappropriate words that I don't want to list, so I don't encourage you trying it.

  • Removed the white circle from plan markers and added a plan marker for changing regions.

  • Fixed a bug where the chat screen counterintuitively opened behind the player list.

In case you have any issues with the update please report them. You can use the "safe" beta branch to play in the previous version. Have fun conquering the world!
