Hi all! Thank you for your patience. I know it has been a while since the last update.

The latest update brings diverse changes:

1. The current season will now display directly ontop of the city and board pages.

2. If you receive an ally to battle with you, it will now show-up on the ally tab.

3. Mandarin language updates: two individuals, Wren and Inori, have graciously volunteered their time to improve the Mandarin language. Please give them your thanks!

4. Rule changes:
- Instead of wilderness requiring 3 "clearances" to revert back to normal, it now only requires one.
- Now, if you excavate a foe, the tile will not be emptied. This allows for longer combat training in the same tile.
- Now, you can always choose which combat attribute to level up when you get to 100xp. Note: we may slightly modify this rule in a future update.

5. Bug fixes:
- In multiplayer, some players were getting stuck at the character choice page. This has been fixed.
- Fixed fighting with a group in multiplayer
- Fixed glitchy technique hit-box sizing
- Sometimes the game tried to randomly harvest plants that didn't exist, crashing or bugging out some players' games. This has been fixed.
- For stage 2, mission 3 - the blue highlight would not be removed if you failed the quest. This has been resolved.
