- Update 56.5 - Improvements, and a demo! - 25 August 2025
Hey all, It has been a minute since the last update, and I apologise for that. I had to move out of home (my office) for three weeks and then I got an awful flu. But I’m back and ready to go. Not a massively impressive update this time, but pretty much everything here is a direct result of feedback I have received over the period since the last update. You may see another update relatively soon after this one with a handful of other changes which didn’t make the cut for this update. As you may know I am working on a new map - I had this mostly finished, but due to popular demand I have decided to start it again, and have turned it into another empty map with no towns. This will be the last map I make in the base game and I think it will create a good spread. Four standard maps, two empty maps, and one hybrid map. I’m also currently investigating translations and CO-OP (nothing to show y…
