[/p][h3]Dear Ladies and Lords,[/h3][p][/p][p]
As mentioned on Discord and the relevant Steam forum (you can now also subscribe to a maintenance thread directly on Steam — though unlike Discord, it won’t notify you about upcoming games or their settings!), a small, but hopefully meaningful patch has been deployed after the active game ended. The game is now fully available again. No client update is required at this time.[/p][p]Please keep in mind that several core systems changed under the hood, and some settings are still being fine-tuned. If you notice anything unusual, don’t hesitate to report it. You can do so directly in-game: click the small yellow cloud icon in the bottom right, then select
Bug Report in the panel that appears.[/p][p]You’ll find the change list at the end of this post 🙂[/p][p]Thanks again, and happy skirmishes![/p][p]

Caught off-guard.[/p][p][/p][h2]Patch Changelog[/h2][p][/p][h3]Gameplay & Vibe[/h3]
- [p]Garrison Block on Occupaton: The owner of a claimed tile — or an ally with Shared Logistics — can now block an enemy occupation command if a non-empty garrison covers the tile with its Area of Control. This is translated as a soft-fail on the command, so if the problem is "fixed" by the offender, the occupation can continue.[/p]
