[h3]⚔ Free Update: Domination Mode[/h3]

Our two most popular requests, rolled into one new mode, in which you play to the death! You can choose this from the start or you can use the 'Keep Playing' button to switch to it if someone else wins.

Read all about it and the other changes in the patch notes!

Enjoy!

Hi folks, the big new feature in this update is Domination Mode, where you play until there is only one empire left. You enable it from the pre-game victory panel. In multiplayer, you can set the crown target to 0, when making a game, to turn it on.

A related addition, requested by many, is a 'Keep Playing' button on the results screen, which switches your game into Domination Mode if someone else wins. Here's the rest...

v1.1.0.5
- Opportunities that give you a crown are now disabled if you have a 4 crown wonder selected (also if your game is in Domination Mode).
- Slightly increased duration of conquest phase of end turn sequence.
- New DLC map, Indonesia, can be played by everyone in multiplayer (if someone who owns it creates a game on it).
- New 72h/turn timer in multiplayer.
- Fixed multiplayer edge case that could lead to a game getting stuck if someone left just before the turn ended.
- New sounds in the run up to your multiplayer game starting.
- Fixed incorrect terrain under some starting cities (affected a few opportunities).
- Fixed some incorrect empire difficulty ratings, which we had overwritten in a recent patch.
- Fixed some translation errors.

⚠️ Multiplayer games from before the update will no longer appear in the lobby but can be played in a new compatibility branch in Steam (you need the old build to see these games). Sorry for the inconvenience, this is how we keep everyone in a game on the same build, to avoid desyncs. The branch is called v1.0.3.x-multiplayer-compatibility
