v4.3.5 Patch Notes

Hello there guys!

Let's get into it!

Better Alliance Editing 🛡️

Since unions were added, editing them was quite tedious, by having to manually input unity values to change their status. Now it's much easier.

The pen icon that used to rename alliance now opens a new window where you can also easily which between alliances and unions, and even disband or unify the alliance!

Custom Workshop Item Thumbnails 🖼️

If you have artistic tendencies, or want to show your scenarios in better detail, you can now upload your items with custom thumbnails. -

To use your art, you need to put your thumbnails into a "workshop_thumbnails"-folder. This folder can be found where your saves and scenarios are saved.

Try to keep your thumbnail file size small, like under 2MB, since they will take up your cloud space and the upload might fail if the image is too big!

Some recommendations for custom thumbnails

• Make the thumbnail relevant to the map, not random pictures

• Either have the map at least partially visible on the thumbnail - OR - after you have uploaded your item, upload an additional image to your item where the map is shown. This can be done from the item's page on Steam.

  • The purpose is to not force players to subscribe blindly to something without an idea on what it looks like

Here's an example of a good thumbnail (created by L0maxx). But of course you can still do pretty much whatever you want.
