We’re excited to bring you one of the most impactful and most requested changes to date! This update has a major rework to how satisfaction and rioting functions - shifting from rioting to what we call “chaos actions”. We’ve also done a major overhaul to balancing conditions, and how they affect goblins' moods.

This has been one of the largest overhauls we have done to the AI for your goblins since the game was in early access and we hope you enjoy the new system and have fun ruling the chaos of your goblin tribe!

[h2]Important Note[/h2]

We have swapped the Treks of Elderstone with the One and Only God update on our road map. We also changed the name to be Divine Tech.
This is because the Treks of Elderstone will take a longer time to develop, and you are going to encounter the God's building sooner. This decision was made after consideration of the gameplay mechanics and our player's needs and feedback.

Last year, we shared our roadmap with you, and we successfully completed and released two major updates that were well-received by our players.

[h3]⚠️ There are a few important notes regarding the upcoming update:[/h3]

• The upcoming update will have lots of changes to the gameplay, particularly to how goblin AI behaves, so older save files will no longer be compatible.
  
• This is why we ask you to make the most of your game and say farewell to the old game style.

Thank you for your understanding and ongoing support. We're incredibly grateful to have such an amazing community, and we're dedicated to delivering an even better gaming experience with this update.
