Right now, there is no drastic changes - this update includes improvements to how good-units are displayed across various contexts, making the interface more consistent (no more unexpected 100x units for homes or construction materials!). We’d appreciate any feedback to ensure these changes work smoothly in the UI.

Thank you for your support and for helping us make Tlatoani the best it can be!

We're currently hard at work on fixes and various improvements, though we're not quite ready to share the details just yet. But there is another area which we want to highlight today - different Quality of Life features and overall settings! Those options might help you to speed up the game (even more), access advisors faster, or change vibrancy of the game.
