| In-game event | V1.31: Scenario Builder full release and 2 new custom scenarios. The biggest chunk that was still missing was full controller support. So, now it's ready for your Steam Deck as well!

| In-game event | V1.27b: Card balancing and small changes to the building cost system.

| In-game event | V1.27: Complete rework of the building cost calculation and improved card art. We've seen it pop up here and there for a while now... strange building-cost cheesing tactics and players imagining how the building cost could be handled differently. Well, we think we've solved it!
