0.6.5 | Hotfix

A new hotfix is now available for Wizdom Academy!

This update focuses on destiny readability, world map polish, fog of war, classroom reliability, Prestige display, UI improvements, and several important fixes.

Most importantly, this hotfix resolves a major issue where classroom student capacity could gradually decrease over the course of a game, eventually preventing classrooms from welcoming any students at all.

Hotfix 0.6.5 focuses on making several important systems clearer and more reliable.
