Game Migrated to Another Steam Page News

Forget your pencil and paper for this test! From April 4 (10:00 CEST) to April 8 (10:00 CEST) we will be running a test to facilitate matchmaking from the Open World without the need to seek shelter in a camp.

We need your help with testing this new feature, and here’s how!

• Simply begin the matchmaking process while in the Open World (by clicking ‘J’), without the need to set up a camp.
• While in the matchmaking queue, you will be able to freely move around and collect resources, but cannot cross the borders (from The Borderlands Ungverija, for example) or use cross-region relocation orders.
• You cannot initiate a chase, start to be pursued, attack bandits etc. while in the matchmaking queue or you will be ejected and have to begin the process again.
• If you are matched within a team and another player leaves the team, this will interrupt the match and you will be ejected from the matchmaking queue.
• When the matchmaking battle is over, you will find yourself back in the Open World in a camp. You will need to manually strike camp before you can move.

During Territory Wars on April 5, this feature will be disabled from the start of the preparation period to the end of the battle.

During this test, we will continue to closely monitor the status to ensure a positive experience for all players. If any bugs appear, the test may be terminated early, but this will not affect camping or matchmaking functions.

Let us know what you think and if you encounter any issues via our feedback channel on Discord!

Marie-Antoinette-Josèphe-Jeanne d’Autriche-Lorraine, better known as Marie Antoinette, was born in Vienna in 1755, the 15th child of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I. Although she was brought up around all the finery bestowed upon a royal, her life would ultimately end in tragedy.

Marie was well-educated in both traditional and cultural topics. Still, her lineage was her true worth to her home country of Austria, and she was married at only fourteen to the French King Louis XVI to forge an alliance between the two states.

Her life with Louis was complex, and tinged with sadness from the onset. When Marie was presented to the people of France in her first public appearance in June 1770, around 50,000 people gathered in Paris to see her, but the mad rush to catch a glimpse of the new Queen resulted in thirty citizens being crushed to death.

This trend of extravagance continued, and Marie threw lavish balls, gambled, and even built a secluded village just for parties on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. The retreat was popular among her ladies-in-waiting, and they would amuse themselves by dressing up as peasants, which members of the court and the public took as mockery.

It wasn’t just her lavish lifestyle and rumoured caricatures that rubbed her critiquing public the wrong way, though; the brash young woman inserted herself into politics far too readily for some people’s liking, seeking to advance Austrian interests. Heavy taxation was already a burden on the people of France, so Marie’s seemingly endless spending did not help matters in the world of public opinion. There were also rumours of an affair, and subsequently, suspicions arose about the identity of the real father of her children.

Marie Antoinette by Jean-Baptiste Isabey (1783)

During this time, she was alleged to have uttered an infamous quote; “qu’ils mangent de la brioche” or “let them eat cake” upon hearing that the French people couldn’t afford bread. A cruel remark that, if true, would have seen public opinion plummet due to the decadent misunderstanding of her subjects’ poverty. However, historians have since attributed this quote to a Spanish princess named Marie-Thérèse. She offered that the French people eat “la croûte de pâté” (or the crust of the pâté) in 1660.

On July 14, 1789, the Storming of the Bastille signified the start of the French Revolution. Radical change was on the horizon, and a monarchy was standing in the way of true liberal democracy. The people of France were disillusioned with their royals, and fearing for her life, Marie attempted to flee Paris and return to Austria but was captured along with Louis XVI and her family.

Found guilty of treason in 1793, Marie fell to the Reign of Terror, where thousands of “counter-revolutionaries” were executed by guillotine. She faced her fate on October 14 at the age of 37.

While Marie Antoinette may not have been the most popular French queen in history, she has been immortalised in print and film as a vivacious and shrewd young woman.
