Thanks for your feedback. This update fixes economy bugs and polishes the interface.
Bug Fixes
- Choosing a starting country other than Türkiye left you without starting infrastructure, your host country was not counted as yours, and buildings produced no resources. Fixed.
- Tech research now costs its listed resources (it was previously free).
- Costs shown in the tech tree and the Development screen now match exactly what is spent, including discounts.
- Building buttons now open the Missing Resources panel when you can't afford them.
- At large UI scales the settings panel went off-screen and the UI Scale slider could not be reached. The panel now always fits the screen.
Balance
- Every starting country now begins with at least one Data and one Crypto producer:
- USA and Germany: +Crypto Miner
- China: +Data Center, +Crypto Miner
- Russia and Brazil: +Data Center
- Japan: +Power Grid (it started with an electricity deficit and could not build anything)
Improvements
- The game now pauses while the settings menu is open and resumes at your previous speed.
- New "Reset to Defaults" button in settings (resets everything except language).
- Trying to build or upgrade in a country you don't control now shows a notice that you need to capture it first.
- Redesigned Missing Resources panel: shown in your language, with have / need amounts for each resource.
Note: the starting infrastructure fix applies to new games. Saves started with a country other than Türkiye in the previous version may still be missing their starting buildings.
