[p]Secularism now boosts Natural Science and Mathematics, and more strongly reduces Religious Grip[/p]
[p]Secularism maintenance cost reduced, PP production increased[/p]
1.2.10
[p]Added Public Works Program policy to boost construction speed for all physical structures (granaries, power plants, ports, etc.) at the cost of increased funding (You need Factories to unlock it)[/p]
[p]Added 3440x1440 ultrawide resolution support (experimental, some UI elements may not display perfectly)[/p]
[p]Factories now produce pollution at a diminishing rate, making large industrial economies more manageable[/p]

[p]Fixed a softlock where high Feudalism or Religious Grip could cap Central Government below 30, preventing further progression[/p]
1.2.9
[p]Arable land now affects agriculture efficiency, more land means more opportunities for field rotation and sustainable farming[/p]

[p]Soil fertility now provides even more food output from agriculture[/p]
[p]Agriculture decays slower and grows higher before hitting the peasant population cap[/p]
[p]Education policies now cost less Political Power to maintain[/p]
[p]AI improvements: smarter resource management, better food production (invests in agriculture, fishing, hunting, foraging), no longer cuts agriculture support when starving, implements new tax systems (tithes, minting, trade policies), researches late-game economic nodes (stock exchange, mercantilism, laissez-faire), maintains more diverse armies instead of over-specializing in a single unit type, and now reduces officer corps spending when running low on wealth[/p]
[p]Late-game performance improvements for AI civilizations (smarter rule caching) and rendering[/p]
1.2.8
[p]AI civilizations are smarter about resource spending: less wasteful propaganda and encourage policies, more aggressive colonization, and coastal civs now develop fishing[/p]
[p]Hunting, foraging, and fishing are now less aggressive on natural resources, allowing sustainable early-game food production[/p]
[p]Fauna, flora, and fish populations recover faster after being depleted[/p]
[p]Game time now progresses slightly slower, giving more time to develop your civilization[/p]
[p]Technologies decay slightly slower, making it easier to maintain progress[/p]
[p]Long node value labels now auto-shrink to fit the UI properly[/p]
[p]HOTFIX 1.2.8a [/p]
[p]Fixed save files from older versions failing to load[/p]
[p]Fixed Slavery Institution localization[/p]
[p]Improved save/load robustness - the game now attempts to repair and continue loading saves with missing or incompatible data instead of crashing[/p]
