Patch 1.2.0 (September 19, 2026)
The first big technical update to the PC version in almost ten years. Save files from earlier versions still work.
General
- The game has moved to Unity 6, which fixes a number of bugs and quirks inherited from the old engine. All builds are now 64 bit, and the system requirements have gone up: Windows 10 21H1, macOS 12 or Ubuntu 22.04 and newer.
- A corrupted save file no longer freezes the game while loading.
- Removed a hidden hotkey that could make the whole interface disappear by accident.
- The Discord button replaced the Twitter button in the main menu.
Gameplay
- "Hospitable host" is now awarded for the whole "The Exodus from the Sahara" trial. Previously it secretly required finishing within a single turn.
"Intoxication" is no longer broken by banishing evil with talismans. - Cumulative achievement counters, such as trading 1,000,000 resources, now add up from the first turn of every session.
- The wedding event is more reliable: the bride's tribe no longer cancels the gift exchange over an unrelated random quarrel.
- The "Elephant trail" starting bonus finally grants the +1 final score point it promises.
- The score screen shows the real maximum for your playthrough instead of a fixed "/33". It depends on the starting conditions you picked.
- The building list no longer scrolls back on its own after each construction.
Texts
- Two new languages: Traditional Chinese and Polish. The game is now translated into 13 languages.
- Achievement names and descriptions are available in all 13 languages.
- Proofreading pass: 78 corrections in Russian, fixes in English, corrected barracks and workshop descriptions in German, and clearer wording for the scouting reward and the aftermath of the Ombos invasion in all 13 languages.
The demo has been rebuilt from the same code. Its "Full version" button in the final dialogue now opens the store page of the game: it used to point at an old site that is no longer online.
