Let Them Trade News

[p]Hear ye, hear ye! Hark my words! Ahem…[/p][p][/p][p]Greetings loyal subjects! Thy great and glorious king greets thee and comes bearing news![/p][p][/p][p]Since release the team has been busy fixing bugs and making some plans on how we can improve Let Them Trade based on all your amazing community feedback. After a busy release the team now needs a "vacation" - the lazy plebeians! - and so production will be slowing down for a little while.[/p][p][/p][p]Behind the scenes we have been working hard on various improvements, such as:[/p]

• [p]Improving city transporter pathfinding and carry capabilities[/p]
• [p]Improving bandit gameplay[/p]
• [p]Improving balance in the mid- and late-game[/p]
• [p]Improving the endgame[/p]
• [p]New production buildings[/p]
• [p]Performance optimization[/p]
• [p]A soundtrack DLC[/p]

[p][/p][p]In the meantime we will continue with fixing bugs and adding little quality of life improvements, but the team is small and good things take time… no matter how often I have the lazy sods flogged![/p][p]Thanks for your patience, keep the feedback coming, and thank you again for being such a great community.[/p][p][/p][p]Toodeloo![/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]Meanwhile, don't forget to:[/p]
