Create Your Map
Now you can build your own world and play it. Set the map size, factions, and their difficulties, then paint your world onto an all-ocean canvas: place land, raise it through the elevation tiers, plant forests, and assign starting factions. Save each map as a reusable template and start as many campaigns on it as you like. Reach it from the New Game lobby, or design a fresh one from the main menu.
Interface and quality of life
- The Escape key now closes one layer at a time: an open panel first, then a selection, then the in-game menu.
- Closing the Options menu without changing anything is now instant.
- New setting: adjust how strongly faction colours fill their territory (Options, Display tab).
Balance
- Fixed an issue that let towns be upgraded into cities far too easily, causing runaway city counts. City growth and the pace of advancement through the later ages now match their intended design.
Demo
- The demo now shows the Create Your Map feature, unlocked in the full game.
A full announcement with visuals will follow soon.
