Hi everyone!

The completed translations added on June 30th to the test branch have now been transferred to the main branch, so you can play in Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, German, French, Russian, and Spanish without enabling the alternate branch. Just start up the game, click "Options", then select "UI" and you will have a drop-down menu to select language.

We appreciate the patience in getting them transferred over to the main branch -- there were a lot of other updates and gameplay improvements in the June 30th version that needed some testing before that version became the main branch.

Please note that due to the fact that Old World is constantly evolving and receiving new updates, there will be cases where untranslated text appears for newly added features and content until the translators can catch up. Currently this includes things added in the June 30th update: including events related to the new Dynasty System, a major addition coming to main branch in today's update.





Another significant change to note is adjustment to difficulty levels:

The Able: Passive AI with moderate penalty. AI will not Force March
The Just: Peaceful AI with small penalty. AI will not Force March
The Good: Peaceful AI with fledgling development. Tribes are Weak
The Strong: AI Aggression Normal, Fledgling Development. Tribes are Normal
The Noble: Raiders will invade from distant lands AI Aggression Normal, Established Development. Tribes are Normal
The Glorious: Raiders will invade from distant lands AI is aggressive, Established Development. Tribes are Normal
The Magnificent: Raiders invade from distant lands, AI is aggressive with advanced development and small advantage. Tribes are Strong
The Great: Raiders invade from distant lands. AI is competitive with advanced development and moderate advantage. Tribes are Raging
