Building your network just got faster and far more precise — and you can put names for seas, bays, rivers and mountains on the map now.
Smarter Road & Rail Building
- Drag city → city to connect, then pick Road or Rail — endpoints are filled in for you. (It is no longer necessary to click the name labels)
- Click the city marker itself (it highlights on hover) instead of aiming at the tiny name.
- Shape the route by hand: grab the line or its anchor points and drag. Editing one anchor only re-routes nearby — the rest stays put.
- Drag an anchor onto a neighbour to delete it; curves stay smooth.
- Cross water freely — roads/railways bridge automatically (up to 55 km per span).
- Bridge or Tunnel: choose per crossing. Tunnels cost more and are drawn dashed beneath the water.
- Press Enter to confirm the build. Same flow for roads and railways.

Place Names — turn your nation into a map
- New Place Names layer (bottom toolbar): drop labels anywhere — seas, rivers, mountains, regions.
- Style each name like a real atlas: drag to move, rotate, spread the letters, and resize.
- Water / Mountain / Land style presets; double-click to rename. Saved with your game.

Also in this update
- Map labels respect rank: capital and province capitals always show largest, with a new Label Size setting.
- Much faster route-finding for long routes and wide water crossings.
- Built-in diagnostics: copy/export a report from Settings if you ever hit a crash or stutter.
Thanks for playing — and keep the feedback coming. A lot of v0.1.4 came straight from your suggestions.
