#### Patch 1.0.6 (13 October 2017)

* This patch brings 6 new languages to Antihero. You can now play the game in Spanish, French, Italian, German, Polish, and Brazilian Portuguese!

##### CHANGES:

* (Balance) The Wharf and Big City maps: additional scouted tiles near starting locations. (You're guaranteed to be able to scout your starting Trading House in a single action.)
* (Balance) Palace and Big City maps: add henchmen near starting locations. (You'll always have a Gang attack target on turn 1.)
* (UI) Multi-language support
* (UI) Show number of remaining bribes in the Upgrade screen
* (UI) Dozens of small UI improvements, tweaks, and fixes
* (Fix-hopefully!) A handful of players have reported the game's visuals will occasionally freeze while audio continues playing. I haven't been able to reproduce this, but I've added some code that hopefully mitigates it...

* This update also includes some behind the scenes work to prepare for some future content and releases but nothing that will impact your games.
