Version 1.25 released

This version introduces individual courtiers visits. Now courtiers can pop up during an audience (usually in bulk, several at once) with various issues. In practice, this means you have an incentive to banish (for free as an audience option) various courtiers which makes the Imperial Court more dynamic. There is also another big feature I was working on. This build is localization ready (in a crude state, not everything is ready, also disabled by default), so very soon, you should be able to play the game in your preferred language. There are also several bug fixes, small balance adjustments.

Translators needed: If you wanted to help translating the game, drop by our Discord and shout that you want to be a translator.

– [feature] Individual courtiers can appear on audiences with personal issues (gets corrupted, lose competence, lose charisma, is incompetent and should be fired, etc).
– [feature] Experimental feature (need to be enabled via options): Change language (note: no locale files have been added yet, therefore in this version it’s not functioning!). In theory, if you really can’t wait, you could just drop the master file into some auto translator and add your language, it should work (instructions are included in data/locale/ folder). Note: If you wanted to help translating the game, drop by Discord and shout you want to be translator.

– [balance] Ship hulls rebalance (several ship hulls made stronger, removed 1 Command Bridge from the Emperor’s Fist).
– [balance] Different Banish from the court cost depending on courtier’s rank (lowest rank is the cheapest to get rid of).

– [interface] Difficulty level displayed on Victory tab and on save files list.

– [fix] Could appoint a courtier as both Diplomat and Advisor when promoted in a certain order.
– [fix] Mechatrons icons do not disappear after they are eradicated.
– [fix] Rebel status of minor houses was not cleared up properly upon end of rebellion (which causes problems if the said minor house was elevated to a Great House). Also added auto fixing saves that have this bug.
– [fix] Small fixes to audience events (illogical outcome of some options).

Also, if you have a moment to leave a Steam review of the game it would be appreciated. It makes a big difference to an indie developer like me. Thanks!
