Update 1.5.32 (18 August 2020)

Hotseat Mode
- It is now possible to switch back and forth between Hotseat mode and AI mode during the course of a battle. You can turn Hotseat mode On and Off in the Settings menu. The change takes effect on the next enemy turn - not including their first (Deployment) turn.
- This allows you to start a Custom Battle in Hotseat mode, do Force Selection and Deployment for the enemy side, then switch to AI mode to fight out the battle. To do this, you need to set Hotseat mode On in the Settings menu before starting the battle, and then switch it Off again at any time before the enemy second turn.
- To allow the above to work correctly, the enemy side (like the player) does not get a move on its first turn when the game is started in Hotseat mode.

Empires Battles:
- Maximum battle size before scaling is now affected by the Conversion Ratio setting. i.e. If you set the Conversion Ratio to 150% of default, the battle will not scale unless the larger side has more than 36 Empires units, and the scaling will be based on that figure and not the default figure of 24.

Units:
- Our grateful thanks go to Paul Adaway, author of TT Mod, for permission to use units from TT mod in the main game, and Stephen Hales of Little Big Men Studios for permission to use his shield pattern designs in TT Mod units. https://www.littlebigmenstudios.com/
- Added 5 new Irregular Foot units from TT Mod. (Iranian-style, Non-Iranian Middle-Eastern style, Skythian, Ligurian and Nubian.)
- Added Takabara textures from TT mod.
- Added Early Cataphracts from TT Mod.
- Added 4 new Late Roman cavalry units from TT Mod: Clibanarii, Cavalry, Veteran Cavalry, Equites sagittarii.
- Animations have been revised for crossbowmen and axemen. Note that because of a change to scaling, crossbowmen in games saved with a previous game version will show as huge. This won’t affect gameplay.

Army Lists:
- Numerous army lists have been updated to use the new units.

Epic Battles:
- The following Epic Battle scenarios have been updated to use the new units: Thymbra, Chaironeia (86 BC), Tigranocerta, Adrianople, Argentoratum, Chalons, Frigidus, Maranga.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed issue that could cause late arriving troops (e.g. flank marchers) to be treated as part of the same group move command as some inappropriate on-table troops.

Manual:
- Correction - Section 15.2: “Moreover, a unit cannot drop cohesion twice in the same turn from shooting, nor from close combat. (But can drop once for each, and in some circumstances can double drop from close combat). Note that melees that were not resolved before hitting End Turn are resolved automatically and count as part of the preceding turn for the above purpose. Also, a unit that is Fragmented may break (without waiting to be contacted) if charged by another unit, even if it became Fragmented as a result of a previous impact close combat this turn.” (The previous statement that cohesion could drop from each of shooting, impact and melee in a turn was incorrect.)

Patch 1.3 Notes

New Content

Added 4 brand-new Baron's Challenge missions:

• Three Men with No Name: Where is Waldo? Identify three specific guards among the crowd of supposed doppelgangers on the map - and kill them!
• Bear Trap Triplets: We all know how much Hector loves his little Bianca. One can only imagine what he could do with three of them... why not put it to a test?
• Best Served Cold: Some poor guy didn't know who the Baron was and cheated him. The Baron wants him found in a crowded market place and brought to the docks - dead or alive
• Rescue Aid Society: Alas! Doc McCoy is being held prisoner in the bayous. Isabelle's cat Stella, a dog and a chicken have formed a special animal commando to rescue the Doc.

Bug Fixes & More

• Minor stability improvements: We made further optimizations to improve the overall stability of the game.
• Showdown Mode Fixes: We got a few reports from users about different Showdown Mode issues. Most of them should be resolved now.

Known Issues

• Three Men with No Name: The player can deliver the Dentist to the coffins as one of the missions targets. The game will falsely accept him as a mission target.

Patch V0.0.43.33107 (18 August 2020)

Roads
- The wait is finally over. Our engineering team was hard at work adding a magnificent, extremely challenging, road system over the past few months. We’re finally happy with our progress to let you play with the roads and let us know what you think. Keep in mind that this is going to be an initial (beta) release of this system so we expect that you may experience some bugs or issues, but hopefully not. If you do experience any issues, please make sure to let us know about them on our Discord Channel here.

The Nugget’s Fierce Enemy Quest
- A new quest has been added to the game. You’ll come across Nuggets in need of your help to tear down some trees that they consider their mortal enemies (weird right?) Help them tear down those tall monsters of bark and leaves!

The Last Exhibitionist Quest
- After the development of Clothing, a certain Nugget refuses to conform to society and adopt clothing. They say “I came into this world naked, and I’ll remain that way.” However, it’s really getting awkward, and they aren’t exactly a sight to behold. You will need to convince this Nugget to learn the benefits of clothing and get them to join in on the clothing revolution.

Motorcycles!
- Vroom, vroom! You’ve been playing with trucks for a while, so we decided to spice things up and add motor bikes that Nuggets can use to cruise down the brand new roads. More variations in transportation are coming your way soonish that will add a bit of carbon monoxide into the fresh air of your future civilization, but hey your Nuggets will definitely look way cooler.

Nugget Stories
- With an addition of the Nugget Stories window that allows you to track your progress, our art department knocked out an image for almost every single quest that we have. So now you'll be able to reflect on your awesomeness in style! Please, give some love to our art department.

Crytivo Club
- For all those who love to unlock cool stuff, participate in our closed tests, and receive news before everyone, we added some improvements to the Crytivo Club system.

Exile Villages
- To make your life easier, we now marking Orators and Priests from exile villages to help you to spot them easily and take appropriate (or not so much) measures against them.

Global Temperature
- While the world is concerned with global warming, we had a problem with global freezing in The Universim. We reviewed the global temperature system and fine tuned the numbers in order to make your seasons slightly more comfortable for a playthrough.

Energy
-Based on our analytics, a lot of our creators are just in love with Wind Turbines. We wanted to review our energy system and improve certain electrical buildings. Almost all of the energy generators received substantial buffs which means you won’t have to worry about your electricity as much as you did. But don’t get fooled, there is still plenty of work to be done to help your civilization thrive.
- Medieval Wind Turbines wind resistance changed from 4 -> 4.2
- Modern Wind turbines received a slight bonus to the wind resistance 4 -> 4.6 points.
- Kinetic Generators no longer do any harm to the environment.
- Kinetic Generators output increased from 25 -> 35 points
- Gas plant received a debuff and its energy output was decreased from 300 -> 200

Water
Along with the energy system, we did a review of our water system. Almost every aspect of it was improved and buffed in one way or another.
- Stone Age water pump production rate increased from 20 -> 30
- Pre-medieval water pump production rate increased from 60 -> 80
- Medieval water pump production rate increased from 90 -> 120
- Modern Water pump production rate increased from 150 -> 180

Reservoirs changes include:
- Stone Age reservoir capacity increased from 30000 -> 40000
- Pre-Medieval reservoir capacity increased from 45000 -> 60000
- Medieval reservoir capacity increased from 60000 -> 100000
- Modern Reservoir capacity increased from 90000 -> 150000

Toxic Lakes
- With the initial release, toxic lakes brought a lot of challenges upon our creators and required some changes and life improvements.
- Chance to get sick by your Nuggets during the Medium Environment level was lowered from 30% -> 15%.

Improved Nuggets Assignment System
- During the last patch we noticed that some of our creators had an issue with educated Nuggets taking all the spots in the buildings that did not require them, therefore leaving a lot of uneducated Nuggets to work in buildings that actually require education. That was a big no-no for us and that issue was immediately addressed. The system was upgraded so that jobs will be prioritized by a Nugget’s education. Buildings that require educated Nuggets will be filled with educated Nuggets, as well as buildings that don’t require and education will be filled with uneducated Nuggets. Easy peasy.

Improved Planet Node System
- We reviewed our node system once again in order to resolve the issue of very small lakes that don't contain water, but still prevent the player from placing the building over those spots. Now during the creation of the planet, our system eliminates those small spots. No more weird useless lakes! Hooray!

Buildings Upgrade System
- Some buildings during their upgrade would lose their settings and cause all sorts of issues and frustrations. Now warehouse, farms, hunter huts, employment centers, and cemeteries will carry over their old settings through the upgrade.

Other Changes
- Added the ability to click on any icons above the buildings in order to “Fly To” those buildings. During disasters all Nuggets won’t prioritize one bunker. Instead they will evaluate each available bunker and slots in the bunker and make a smart decision where they should go, reducing the time Nuggets need to reach the bunker during the disaster. Updated animals to use a new animation system in order to improve their movements and transition between them. Birds and whales can be picked up now.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed: Injured Doctor would take a patient spot and a new doctor won’t be assigned to the hospital.
- Fixed: Sometimes when you would receive an error in the game, it might affect your Nugget panel and show different debug panels which were not working properly and they would further break the game.

- Fixed: Dropping Nuggets on top of the mountain would cause death for your Nugget. Welp, not anymore…
- Fixed: Shore buildings were not placed on certain sports next to the store.
- Fixed: The wheel on the water pump ghoster model was offset incorrectly.
- Fixed: Buildings during winter time were completely submerged into snow leaving almost no indication to identify the building.
- Fixed: News messages were sorted incorrectly.
