Old World News

A small hotfix update, 1.0.62837 release (09/16/2022), has been released today on the main branch.

This fixes issues with the cursor disappearing when playing on Steam Deck and traded luxuries disappearing on load.

The main branch has been updated!

Notable changes:

• Improvements to AI and performance
  
• Ships can now enter their team's coastal cities
  
• Fully fortified units will do melee counterattack, each fortify step costs 1 order
  
• The highest level urban improvements (Fairs, Palaces, etc) now allow skipping Apprentice and Master Specialists. The middle level urban improvements allow skipping Apprentices.
  
• Adjusted MP map dimensions so SP and MP maps have identical city site capacity, so the size is more consistent across gameplay modes
  
• The Hill MP Duel Scenario has been added
  
• Text updates for Chinese, Japanese and Russian
