Matches played from the quick play menu or during campaigns now are able to support the Chinese ruleset. There are differences between the Chinese rules and Japanese/Korean rules such as scoring by area (empty points a player's stones surround + the the number of alive stones the player has on the board), board repetitions (super-ko) are forbidden, handicap stones add one point per stone to white's score, and more.
Within the quick play menu, there is a new ruleset setting allowing the player to choose whether the match should be played with Chinese rules or Japanese/Korean rules.
Within the campaign settings menu accessible from upper right of the campaign map, there is a new option to choose whether new matches should be played with Chinese or Japanese/Korean rules. This setting can be changed at any time during the campaign, and completed matches as well as matches in progress will retain the ruleset that was being used when the match was first created.
The default komi value for the Chinese ruleset is 7.5 as compared to 6.5 for the Japanese/Korean ruleset. The quick play menu will automatically adjust the komi if it is set to default when switching between rulesets.
New Campaign Invasions:
Campaign invasions are matches that occur during the campaign when opposing nations invade land that you have previously conquered. These matches start from a predetermined board position with several moves already played out.
New invasions have been added for each board size (9x9, 13x13, and 19x19), bringing the total unique invasions to more than double the amount that was available in previous versions.
Added double hane to the glossary located in the extras menu.
Updates have been made to the tutorial text and AI review text to prepare the game for future localization. For the time being, these changes should have no visible effect, as the game is still only available in English.
Fixes
Fixed a bug which caused the order of files to be incorrect after loading a saved match from the quick play menu, and then using the left and right arrow icons in the match details panel to navigate to the previous and next files. The updated order is in reverse chronological order, which matches the order that the files are displayed in the saved matches list within the quick play menu.
Fixed an issue when switching analysis AIs through the AI settings menu, causing a third instance of KataGo (in addition to the existing analysis and review instances) to be started and ended for matches that have KataGo as one of the players in a match until the game is reloaded.
Fixed an issue with the double hane shape name not appearing in the move history list when played.
