Hello Everyone!

Another campaign focused update adding more immersive features allowing faction leaders and officer dialogue to reference recent events happening in the game. You can now also ask any faction leader how their war is going with other factions and a couple of other interactions have been added. It also improves the frequency at which the AI does diplomacy with eachother and contains the usual quality of life fixes and improvements.

It's completely save game compatible as always, but it will take time for events to fill the new systems before they get referenced if you continue an existing campaign.

Thank you for all the support!

If you have suggestions, bugs or just general ideas for the next update, feel free to join the discord or drop by in the discussions. Always happy to hear your input.
