Demo Update - Governors

Hi Everyone,

We're feeling excited and nervous - Early Access launch is just a few days away! In the meantime, we've got a little demo update for you.

Governors

Once you reach a large enough population, you'll need to choose a governor for your citizens. You can select from three candidates, they'll each have pros and cons. They'll serve for 3 years, then you can choose a new one or re-appoint the old one, but the longer they stay in power the more corrupt they can become!

Diagonal Walls

You can now build diagonal walls!

Other Improvements/Fixes

• Improved water simulation evaporation mechanics

• Changed save data format (old saves should still work, they will be automatically converted)

• Tune tax yields/impact on happiness

• Increase amount of gold temples can hold

• Performance optimizations across the game

• Fixed the mass death bug

• Fixed visual gaps in dams

• Fixed bug with temple bonuses not loading correctly

• Fixed notification log not arranging chronologically consistently

• Fixed case of raiders not leaving if they couldn't unload

• Various dam and spillway fixes

• Tons of other small fixes

Thanks for all your feedback and bug reports so far, keep them coming! See you on Thursday for the big day!

Until next time,

-Pete, Michael, & Sam
