Greetings, builders. We're rolling out an update today, covering system optimizations, numerical adjustments, performance improvements, and a number of bug fixes.

System :

1. Fixed some GPU crashes.

2. Optimized game memory consumption, reducing crashes due to insufficient memory.

3. Key prompts will still be displayed after entering the minimap to prevent difficulty finding the initial territory.

4. WASD keys can be remapped to adapt to keyboard layouts commonly used by some countries.

5. QE switching has been temporarily disabled in Encyclopedia".

6. Optimized descriptions related to plague to prevent misunderstandings. Plague is a natural disaster and cannot be treated by medical facilities or similar methods.

6. Adjusted loading music volume to prevent some sound effects from being too loud.

Numerical Changes:

The following are changes in item trade value:

1. Meteoric Iron Ore 72.4→26

2. Meteoric Ingot 98→35.2

3. Meteoric Weapons 328→115

4. Chariot 328→168

Performance Optimizations:

1. Optimized computer memory usage related to soldier movement, reducing memory usage by approximately 1.7GB.

2. Optimized performance overhead caused by excessive soldier target acquisition frequency at 8x speed.

Bug Fixes:

1. Fixed a crash issue caused by decoding errors when some players played related videos.

2. Fixed a GPU crash issue that could occur when some players entered a level and the first frame loaded.

3. Fixed an issue where building effects would repeatedly play during construction after loading a save.

4. Fixed an issue where rivers and other water bodies might disappear in some cases.

5. Fixed an issue where incorrect mouse cursor patterns were retained in different modes in some cases.

6. 7. Fixed an issue where the mouse wheel scroll bar could be replaced with other keyboard shortcuts.

8. Fixed an issue where the texture display of chariots and horses was abnormal in view mode.

9. Fixed an issue where the building panel was not exited sequentially when pressing ESC.

10. Fixed an issue where spearmen would mistakenly charge and damage enemy walls when attacking soldiers on them.

11. Fixed an issue where the names of some countries on the minimap were not fully displayed in multilingual translations.

12. Fixed an issue where roads near clay mines were difficult to see and there was a ghosting effect when laborers moved.

Localization

1. Optimized text translation for the following languages:

a. French

b. German

c. Russian

We received feedback from some players regarding in-game crashes, and have optimized and addressed the related issues — please give it another try. If you still encounter any, feel free to let us know and we will keep following up.

1. Fixed some GPU crashes.
2. Optimized game memory consumption, reducing crashes caused by insufficient memory.

Thank you for your feedback and patience, builders!
