  1. Keyboard controls

  • Pan the map with WASD / arrow keys, zoom with + / −

  • Space advances one month, 1–5 open the bottom-left menus

  • Inside a panel, use ↑ ↓ ← → / Enter to navigate, or press the shortcut key shown on each button (road grade, lanes, upgrade mode, and more)

  1. Founding settlements

  • New two-mode New Settlement panel: place one anywhere on the map, or step through recommended sites with Create & Next / Skip

  • Founding now costs a fee that rises with your nation's size, and remote towns grow slowly until you connect them — connect your network to make them thrive

  • Capital and provincial capitals are now labelled in the settlement info

  • Rename a settlement with the new ✎ button (or double-click its map label)

  1. Roads & rail

  • Quick upgrade: click a road or rail on the map to jump straight to its upgrade options (the classic pick-endpoints flow is still there too)

  • Parallel roads between the same cities no longer take wildly winding detours

  • Ferries scale their capacity with demand automatically

  1. Bug Fixes

  • The build panel now updates affordability live as you advance time — no need to reopen it — and keeps your in-progress route and custom road name

  • Province border toggle now shows its real state when reopened

  • Text and UI clarity fixes across all 11 languages
