In this version many things were adjusted in order to be ready for the next version which will have new buildings and maps.

[h3]Balance[/h3]

• Advanced housing buildings (downtown houses, 2-stored downtown hose and modern 2-stored house) look for density in a radius of 4, instead of 3.
  
• Wood and energy production of lumbercamps, lumberjack house/cabin and watermill increased by 50%.
  

[h3]Adjustments[/h3]

• From now on, if you unlock a skin (bike, car or truck), they will also appear in other cities.
  
• When switching to the pedestrian view, you no longer see the range boxes of the buildings.
  
• Now it is more explicit that miners' houses produce iron (ask for 5 houses instead of 1 in the tutorial).
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Music no longer stops playing
  
• Now the paths or constructions don't disappear mysteriously when building on the tree that was being cut down.
  
• When closing some windows (urbekopedia, achievements, etc) the game does not pause.
  
• Can not place [building] here -> no place to build [building].
  
• When overbuilding a road, the directions of adjacent roads are updated.
  
• Lumberjack house technicians now have the desired effect.
  
• Secondary button now no longer leaves the tooltip for building buttons flying around
  

[h3]UI[/h3]

• The initial "Choose your path" achievement screen have more information for each path: small pictures of next vehicle to unlock
  
• Before unlocking a path achievement, it shows what will be unlocked.
  
• On achieving a path achievement, a window is displayed showing the unlocked vehicle and the conditions achieved.
  
• Added colours to the effect of policies
  
• Growing trees are at the same height as everything else in the layers view.
  
• Links to building upgrades are more visible now.
  
• Now there is a tooltips to explain the 3 top right resource numbers (stockpiled, max capacity and production)
  

This version has 3 important new things: the Urbekopedia, the choice of paths and the ambience sound effects

[h3]Urbekopedia[/h3]

• An encyclopaedia to see all the constructions, you can use filters to find what you are looking for.
  

[h3]Ambient sound effects[/h3]

• Depending on where you are you will hear more birds, noise of the sea, murmur of the city, or different birds, barking, market sounds, etc.
  

[h3]Victory conditions[/h3]

• Choose one of 3 different ways to win the map: wealth, leisure or productivity.
  
• As you progress along the path you can unlock new vehicles, such as bicycles, trucks or other cars.
  

[h3]Additions[/h3]

• Two new songs added
  
• What was once unlocked will remain unlocked when saving and reloading, regardless of whether or not conditions are met.
  
• Cars and pedestrians appear more often if there is high density.
  
• Buses appear more at bus stops
  

[h3]Balance[/h3]

• Some buildings are now unlocked not only with population, but with certain other buildings.
  
• Night lasts less time
  
• Difficulty of the small map is now x3, instead of x1.6
  

[h3]New vehicle models[/h3]

• Bikes
  
• Trucks
  
• New cars
  

[h3]Fixes[/h3]

• Music now cycles correctly
  
• Opening one menu closes another, so the game is no longer paused when closing successive open menus.
  
• When playing in lagoons, the "build a windmill" part can be skipped.
  
• When changing from pedestrian view to isometric view, you can no longer see what is underground.
  
• Now when exiting the pause menu in pedestrian mode the UI does not appear.
  
• The position of the minimap is adjusted to the position of the tutorial, so it is no longer on top of the tutorial.
  

[h3]Help[/h3]

• It is now more obvious that the windmills are built in rivers
  
• X/Y to zoom in
  
• Now the alert when there is an unconnected path is shown much sooner
  
• Now it is shown that the fishermen's house needs to be coastal
