Hi all, I just pushed the first post-release patch for the game.
New Features
Military
Delete and attach formation templates -- templates can now be deleted (with confirmation), and unassigned militaries can attach an existing template or create a new one directly from the sidebar
Strength tooltip on the military sidebar explains formation status (no formation, over/under target, at target)
Units now provisioned with 3 months of resources when added to an army, preventing immediate attrition
Power Blocs
Rich text and clickable links in power bloc demands and goal descriptions -- references to the Imperial Court now link directly to the relevant tab
Weak power blocs (below 25% of player military power) can no longer issue demands
Foederati and Personal power blocs form after game start
Map & Visuals
Map labels now have borders for improved readability
Hover indicator on settlement glances hints that they are clickable
Descriptive location text for armies and navies not near a settlement
UI & Quality of Life
Auto-Resume setting -- the game now stays paused after dismissing events and diplomatic notifications by default; a toggle in Settings > Gameplay restores the old behaviour
Blocked cursor and tooltips for besieged and blockaded settlements, preventing invalid actions
Per-tab hints added to the diplomacy screen
Edict UI improved: countdown shows remaining days, gold cost deducted on enactment, clicking a new edict cancels the active one
Camera speed settings moved from Gameplay to Controls tab
Current language name shown alongside flag in the main menu
Vacant court position warning now opens the Imperial Court tab
Garrisoned army widgets now stack vertically instead of horizontally
Notification widgets now have tooltips
Console & Modding
14 new console cheats covering military, characters, diplomacy, settlements, economy, and map
Balance Changes
Increased war enthusiasm penalty to prevent trivial early peace deals
Capped Kyrnos to 2 armies and Vituria to 4 armies maximum
Localisation
War names, rank names, and court position titles now fully localised
Event grammar and character info localisation updated for CJK languages and Russian
CJK text wrapping enabled in rich text tooltips
Settings controls, notifications, DLSS, FPS, and model names localised
Resource tooltip "/mo" suffix localised
Stat names in event effects localised
Replaced "wild ass" with "torsion engine" in Onager unit description to avoid literal animal translation in Chinese
Proper noun glossary added to the translation pipeline for consistent translations of proper nouns
