Posted December 22, 2022
Main Branch: 1.0.64528 Release 12/21/2022
Design
New World Map - Imperium Romanum: The Roman World!
New map script - Donut
Inland Sea map script updated to give less regular sea and more mountain ranges
Free city site location now takes into account distance over land, not distance as the crow flies
Events which give traits are no longer blocked when a character already has the trait. They will now give improvements to character ratings instead.
Hotseat games with 1 Human player are now treated as Multiplayer games. This fixes teams not starting together in these games.

Map start tiles for set maps can now be defined in mapStartTile.xml. This allows modded nations to be given set start points on premade maps.
