  Multiplayer fixed & more in Konkwest 1.0052

  Another small, but significant patch today! Fixed a bug which caused the multiplayer to fail. Fixed a bug causing the multiplayer to desync in turn one if starting with a new game. Special effects, such as explosions, are no longer launched for places that aren't visible. Breakthroughs no longer cause the entire world to reload the map mode. Expansion missile effects now select their launch site in a more logical way: Instead of always launching from the capital if no neighboring place is available as the launch site, they will now launch from the closest available place in that case. Happy new year, and happy conquering!

  Konkwest: Performance & Map Improvements in v1.005

  NPCs now make their AI decisions whenever they can, not necessarily after the player is ready. The code for their decision making is now multithreaded. Both of these changes reduce the time you spend waiting for the NPCs greatly. Improved military access mechanic Limited military access: The military access institution aspect no longer allows you to pass through multiple entire countries and use all of your allies' colonies to jump around the world. You can now traverse up to two places using military access, similarly to how you can traverse up to two water places. This should reduce the amount of border gore and seemingly random invasions, while keeping the military access aspect useful. Other notable changes Changed the way selection is represented in the game. The game world is now static, allowing for graphics performance optimizations granting an FPS boost. Improved the UI for the place, region, and country views. The UI for Institutions is now located in the interaction panel, instead of its own fullscreen window. The contemporary (2024) scenario is now called 2025. Updated the situation of Syria for 2025. Added seasonal holiday decorations. Added Lake Titicaca and improved the area around it. Added Arakan and the Burmese civil war. Improved the shape of Iceland. Removed the bloom post-processing effect. The conquer multiple places button will no longer be available to regions or countries where your country can't access any place. Fixed an issue where NPCs could create broken institutions. Fixed the demonym of Cyrenaica: Cyrenaican. Increased the resolution of the space background. The main menu appears on startup again.

  Konkwest Patch 1.0042

  With this patch several bugs were fixed and the 1900 scenario was improved. Sokoto and Dendi, two pre-colonial West African countries, were added to the 1900 scenario. Fixed war declarations being absent from the history and news. Added a short cooldown to popup buttons, to counteract players unintentionally closing multiple popups when trying to close just one. Fixed misaligned tooltips at resolutions significantly different from 1920x1080. Fixed conquer-n-places button showing up for countries with which you have a truce.
