Early Access Major Update #2 - Coups d’État

A happy Coups D'État to you!
[p][/p][p]A Coup D’état is a forceful change from the top through sudden overthrow (and a reliable way to end a revolution!) With that in mind, our latest update Coups D'État is inspired by the famous Coup of 18 Brumaire against the French Directory which paved the way for Napoleon's ascent to power. With many new additions - including the official epic conclusion of the game - we excited to push this update out![/p][p][/p][h3]With this update you will find the following:[/h3]
  • [p]Part III campaign events, battles, and THE EPIC CONCLUSION OF THE GAME![/p]
  • [p]NEW Trial instances[/p]
  • [p]NEW Addition of sounds effects[/p]
  • [p]Multiple bug fixes[/p]
[p]Just a reminder: your old saves will work with the new update BUT if you want full functionality, a new start is recommended.[/p][p][/p][p]We would love to know any feedback you have for us around these updates and the game. Your comments & questions are always greatly appreciated by the team![/p][p][/p][p]Thanks again to everyone who took the time to send feedback after the last update, including any bugs! Reminder that if you are experiencing a bug, you can report it in-game by pressing the F1 key.[/p][p][/p][p]Looking to meet fellow revolutionaries? We also have a Discord, come join us! Our Discord also has a dedicated bug channel for reporting and one-on-one support.[/p][p][/p][h3]We present to you the patch notes for v0.16.0.0-RC3, the Coups D'État update![/h3][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p]
