Hello everyone!

This time another major update introducing a new diplomacy system! This patch also introduces several new mechanics, UI enhancements, and much-requested fixes, all aimed at making your experience more immersive and dynamic.

It also introduces a new custom campaign save format. To migrate to this new format: Open your existing custom campaign and resave it. This will make sure it's future proof. To play campaigns from the workshop you don't have to do anything as I made sure to load them with backwards compatibility.
