Patch 2.1.0a (September 19, 2026)
The first real update since 2021: new engine, seven new languages, a long list of fixes. Saves from 2.0.4 stay compatible.
Engine and platforms
- Upgraded to Unity 6, the first major technical update in eight years. Many bugs inherited from the old engine are gone.
- The build is 64-bit now, with Windows, macOS and Linux versions.
- System requirements are higher: Windows 7 and 8 and macOS below 12 are no longer supported.
- A minimized game no longer renders frames and loads the graphics card.
- The resolution list is no longer empty on ultrawide monitors (21:9, 32:9).
- The demo has been rebuilt too.
Gameplay
- Achievements fixed: "Monument of Unity" survives 2nd Dynasty tombs finished before the quest ends, "Pink Giza" counts a failure exactly as described, and "Implacable" can now be earned in Sandbox and in "No trials", with a lower army threshold.
- Uniting the tribes: the quest no longer gets stuck, so the campaign can be finished again.
- Endless mode: regions no longer lose hundreds of thousands of people per turn, and growth never falls below zero.
- A playthrough no longer freezes after an error inside an event.
- The upkeep discount from "Pyramid builder towns" now applies to tombs built after it is researched.
- Unification of Egypt: "Fortify" and "Bribe" change the chance by 5% instead of 3%, so a click is visible on the scale.
Languages and texts
- Seven new languages: Japanese, Korean, Polish, Czech, Traditional Chinese, Arabic and Hindi. The game is now translated into 18 languages.
- Indonesian and Malay rewritten from scratch, plus large proofreading passes for Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Turkish and German.
- Tooltips no longer show "ERROR: Input string...", and a line with no translation falls back to English.
- A new language selection panel with flags.
Fixes
- On first launch the game picks up saves left in the older "Egypt Old Kingdom" folder, without overwriting anything.
- A corrupted save file no longer freezes loading at 99%.
- Resolution, volume and language may be reset once by this update.
- About a dozen other smaller fixes.
