Important Message
Content patch EA 0.4.5 contains some new features and UI replacements, as well as bug fixes and enhancements for the AI. Slightly over 80% of the tickets in Redmine are resolved now. We continue our efforts on implementing all features and fixing the remaining bugs. The update should improve stability further, the performance is subject to improvement in the updates to come. After you update to the latest patch, if the game recognizes old save games as "incompatible", they will be no longer be shown in the menu. And please don’t forget to attach the “save game” with reports on Redmine.
You might notice a drop of performance due to the re-introduction of animals in the game. There are known bugs with long distance journeys and overseas trips - too much XP outcome, exotic goods cannot be used at the moment and some other issues. Henchmen with a job like "guard a building" cannot be dismissed via the character quick access. We will look into all of these issues.
You will no longer be able to use numbers when giving a name to a building, child or saved games since it was causing technical issues. Special characters in character names of NPCs are not shown at the moment. There are some other minor issues with the display of texts that we will take care of asap.
Thank you all for your patience and support!

Please note: we are not done to 100% with most of the newly implemented UI elements and features, but we wanted to have them implemented as soon as possible. We continue with our efforts to finalize all features of the game. You will notice that the narration text during the camera flight at start of the scenario map is not displayed. We will fix that with a coming patch.
If you experience a low framerate on your computer, then we recommend to play in low to medium camera height with the camera angle down until the performance of the game was enhanced.
Thank you for your feedback and your patience!

- Make Offer on Building: You can now make an offer on a building that you are interested in having. However, similarly to conquering a building, if you purchase a building that you do not have the required skill, you will not have complete control of its production & you must pay its costs until you have the required skill;

- Frame Rate Optimization: Fixed a bug that could occur when a NPC was "pushed" off a street during low frame rates.

The higher a population was on any given map and the faster the game was played, the more chance this could occur;
