v1.8.0 — Legible World

This update closes the gap between a deep simulation and a great game: see your story, see the AI, and learn the ropes faster.

SEE YOUR STORY • Your reign, charted. The Chronicle now opens with YOUR TRAJECTORY — 24-month trend sparklines for approval, legitimacy, GDP and national power. The numbers finally have a shape.

SEE THE AI — new WORLD AFFAIRS screen (Diplomacy) • The AI no longer moves in silence. A new screen makes it legible: the live power ranking, what each major power thinks of YOU, their grand-strategy doctrines, and a running feed of what foreign powers have actually been doing — each move shown with the reason behind it.

LEARN THE ROPES • A new GLOSSARY in the Field Guide (Home) explains the core concepts in plain language — political capital, legitimacy, doctrines, chokepoints, the balance of power and more.

UNDER THE HOOD • A new AI-behaviour harness verifies the AI powers act at healthy rates — tabling trade pacts, barter deals, alliances, demands and ultimatums across thousands of simulated months — so the world stays alive and the behaviour can be tuned. • All additive and save-safe; deterministic; no performance cost.
