Post-Release Update #1
4 May - rmgiv   

A small post-release update is now available. In general, the release was released in good shape. There were a few bugs found by the community but that’s not surprising in a complex game like this. Please report any suspected bugs and we’ll do our best to solve them quickly.

There has also been a few requests by players. Two of these related to modding. We created a scenario that basically blank called Empty World Scenario for those who prefer to build their mods from scratch. It’s only available in the editor.

Several users have posted question about adding custom flags to their mods. It has always been possible. We now made it a little easier and there is some documentation to help guide you through the process, including an example. These can be downloaded from the Factus Games website here: https://factusgames.com/pages/support
