This patch focused primarily on unit and tech tree rebalances, network code improvements, UI tweaks, and additional quality-of-life adjustments, like preventing the AI from founding religions before players are able to. https://steamcommunity.com/games/597180/announcements/detail/526498885413110616 Earlier this month, the May Update gave a buff to crossbow strength, rebalanced tech costs, and added a new map search function. Just like the April update, this patch also included several UI improvements across all areas of the game. https://steamcommunity.com/games/597180/announcements/detail/670616610165227899 Thanks for reading, and best of luck building your legacy! ~ The Hooded Horse Team
