[h2]New Multiplayer Turn Timer[/h2]
The turn timer in multiplayer games is now dynamic. It will be extended by players drawing extra cards and shortened by players ending their turn. However, once you see the 30 second warning, it means you have exactly 30 seconds left and it will not be extended or shortened from that point on. The timer is also now correctly synced for all players.


[h2]Misc[/h2]

• The city panel for a citizen token is now highlighted when you pick up the token. This way you can tell which city the citizen belongs to.
  
• D3D12, GLCore, and Vulkan graphics APIs can now be used with command line parameters (EXPERIMENTAL, see parameters here https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/PlayerCommandLineArguments.html)
  
• Improved error collection
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where you could build a city on a hex that already had a citizen working it
  
• Fixed an issue where capturing a city could give you a hex containing a different city
  
• Needs orders button refreshes correctly when using Mobilize
  
• Bot settlers no longer attack

[h2]Misc[/h2]

• When the target player count (currently 4) is reached in a publicly created multiplayer lobby, the game will automatically start after a countdown. This is to prevent someone from making a public, never starting it, and block other players from playing when they click "Find game"
  
• New (still placeholder) Lumbermill card illustration
  

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed jankiness when you mouseover the discard pile
  
• Fixed an issue where disabling the birds could cause the title screen to have an error when initializing. This could cause the buttons on the title screen to not work.
  
• Fixed a bug where Courthouse could increase a city's maintenance from 0 to 1 (thanks @vTri)
  
• Fixed an issue where Eliminate All Players daily challenges could be on larger maps than intended
  
• Fixed an issue where card hover pop ups could get stuck on the screen when playing events after you end your turn
  
• Fixed an issue where hovering over a hex would not cause the worker token to popup if the resource overlay had not been turned on this turn
  
• Fixed an issue with Discord integration that could cause daily challenge results to be reported for the wrong day
  
• Fixed spelling of "Colosseum"

• Fixed issues with the game running on Linux with Proton (Steam Play)
