STATE BROADCAST: Prologue Recalibration in Progress

Citizens, The Father extends his gratitude.

The Prologue has been deployed widely, and the volume of field reports, surveys, and direct feedback has exceeded expectations. This data has been reviewed by High Command, and several early systems have been flagged for recalibration before further deployment.

As a result, a Prologue update is being issued.

🔧 Recalibration Summary 🔧

Some systems introduced early for testing purposes have been temporarily withdrawn from active duty while they are refined. This is not a cancellation of features, but a return to the development pipeline to ensure they meet operational standards for Early Access launch.

Sector Boss

• The boss encounter has been removed.

Reports indicated excessive one-shot casualties generated an extreme level of unwanted frustration among the State's believers.

Progression & Battles

• Unification Progress is now capped at 66%.

• White-Hot Flashpoint Warzone (large-scale battlefield) difficulty has been reduced.

• Several high-difficulty battles have been removed.

• Non-essential urban areas and roaming nomadic fleets (rest stops, delivery hubs, pirates, traders) have been removed.

Many leaders entered these engagements under-equipped or under-prepared due to unclear guidance, resulting in unnecessary losses and frustration rather than meaningful challenge, while the urban areas brought balancing issues.

Social & Detainment

• Base-level soldier romance-related interactions have been disabled.

Reports indicated abnormal behaviors between the citizens in the base, they have been sent to re-education along with the related code base.

• The Prison cells facility has been locked (along with capture-related features).

The State fell short in its citizen onboarding process as some enemy units were not capturable, leading to wasted resources and unclear feedback loops.

Note: To prevent issues with existing save files, the changes listed above will only apply to newly created saves.

Thank you for your continued testing, feedback, and commitment to the State.
