v1.8.1 — Bill Fix & Bloc Summits
FIX • Bills that seemed "stuck" can now be signed — or you'll know exactly why not. Signing a bill costs political capital, and that cost (and whether you can afford it) now shows right on the SIGN button. If an action…

v1.6.46 - Crisp Map Borders
A focused fix from community feedback. Country and province fills no longer bleed past their outlines. The map now draws every fill first and then lays all the borders on top, so a neighbour's colour can never paint ove…

v1.6.38 — Calendar accuracy
Fixed the in-game date so it can never display an impossible day (like "32 Nov"). The day shown is always clamped to the real length of the current month, and if an older save ever carried an out-of-range value it self-…

We audited every system in the game end-to-end — how money, diplomacy, politics, war and time interact — and rewired everything that wasn't pulling its weight. The result: a world that behaves more like the real one, fr…
