User Created Content Support

  • Added a map editor. Available from Options Menu

  • Added ability to load a particular map in a custom game. Can be one of the built in maps, or one created by the player.

  • Added ability to load a user created scenario

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed bug where stacks can incorrectly merge if both were ordered to a hex containing another stack

  • Fixed game settings tab not being available on systems with non supported system language

  • Added back button to game type selection screen

  • Fixed bug with caravansaries not exporting to settlements created before them

  • Stop re-exported goods being exported to their source

  • Improved algorithm for distributing starting positions in custom game

Important: This is the first release of the map editor, so there are a couple of issues remaining. The editor is currently only in English, and custom maps aren't yet supported for multiplayer. Further updates will follow next year. Happy Holidays! - Surtur
