Repeated intro
Hello everyone, A new beta update has been released on the Beta Branch. It adds a new Burgage Plot Level 3 with its own models, requirements, and effects, moves the previous Level 3 look to Level 4, and changes progression so Settlement Level now checks for Families rather than built plot levels. Twin Lakes has also been added as a new map. Beyond that, this patch includes changes to Ox guiding rules, AI behavior, balance adjustments, UI and text updates, a large number of bug fixes across multiple systems, and performance gains that should be noticeable in larger cities. The full list of changes in this update is below. As always, we’d appreciate hearing your thoughts in a Steam review. Whatever your experience has been, we’re glad to read it. Early Access depends on that back-and-forth, and your feedback plays a direct role in what we work on next.
