Against the Storm News

[h3]Greetings, Viceroys![/h3]
We’re at the finish line of delivering the new update, so it’s time to share some sneak peeks!

The update’s main theme is Quality of Life, as we’ve focused on various improvements to enhance the game experience, including:

• Town Statistics
  
• Production Statistics
  
• Mirroring buildings
  
• Deed information on World Map Modifier tooltips
  
• More irregular building footprints
  
• Balance changes to Cornerstones, Orders, and Rewards in general

Quality of Life Update (1.7) will be released on February 18th between 2:00 PM UTC and 6:00 PM UTC. Make sure to finish your ongoing settlements before the update goes live—otherwise, they’ll need to be closed. More details below!

[h2]What's new[/h2]
[h3]Statistics[/h3]
Soon, you’ll be able to see various settlement data, including a summary of global bonuses and effects, production statistics, and settlement statistics (such as a Reputation breakdown).



In other words, more numbers to stare at while pretending you have everything under control!

[h3]Mirroring buildings[/h3]
For those of you who like building in style, we’re adding an option to flip buildings horizontally.

Which means you can finally place Harpy Houses like this:



Perfection.

[h3]And more[/h3]
We're also shaking up the meta a bit by rebalancing some yearly Cornerstones, Orders, and rewards in multiple places (packs, orders, events).

[h2]How to prepare[/h2]
[h3]Finish the settlement before the Update[/h3]
Important: Due to numerous systemic changes, the update will close the ongoing settlements to prevent potential issues. As compensation, you’ll receive Citadel Resources equal to winning that game and a Royal Resupply.

If you don't want your ongoing settlement to be closed, please be sure to finish it before the update goes live on February 18th. Your Cycle progress and meta progress will remain intact.

For a limited time, we will also be leaving the current 1.6 version on a separate Steam branch so that you can complete the settlement if you are unable to do so before the Quality of Life Update (1.7) goes live. However, we recommend that you consider this option as a last resort.

Here’s a roundup of what’s new:[hr][/hr][h3]New World Events[/h3]

• Ghost Town: Unravel the secrets of an abandoned settlement and steer its future.
  

[hr][/hr][h3]Revamped World Events[/h3]
Several events have been overhauled to provide fairer challenges and clearer mechanics:

• Somber Procession now features the Funeral Feast, a three-step event replacing Reserve Embarkation Point trades. Completing it unlocks the Feast Hall for three games.
  
• Events requiring goods now demand upfront contributions, giving players better control and visibility over their progress.
  
• Forsaken Town has been fine-tuned for a more balanced experience, including the removal of its initial Storm phase.
  

[hr][/hr][h3]Cornerstone Revisions[/h3]

• Selection now aligns more closely with available resources and colony needs, offering better synergy during runs.
  
• Underperforming perks have been reworked, while others have been refined or replaced for improved variety.
