Patch Notes e1.1.0

Today, we are moving the current beta branch to our main Steam branch. Below you will find the original changes included in the beta branch, our previous hotfix to the beta branch as well as some additional changes that we have done since.

This will make it so that the public and beta branches are equal. We will likely update the beta branch in the near future.

(Normally, we convert 20% of their earned influence to wage per day.) If the player rejects payment, they lose relations with the mercenary clan leader and the contract is cancelled.

• Player’s mercenary payment per influence was stable after they entered a kingdom. Now it is refreshed every 30 days.

• In some cases after a kingdom had been eliminated, the lords continued to
