The Update and the Apology

Hello folks,

Well, it's been quite a while and I am sorry. I know a lot of you gave up on us actually finishing this project and thought we disappeared forever into the great abyss that is the "Unfinished Early Access Games" and you had all the right to think that.

But we are back and we are sorry we vanished in the first place and that it took so long to get the game on track. The estimated two months of EA turned into six but we hope we're close to the end now. We thank you for your patience and we humbly invite you to check out the new Idle Civilization.

We have new graphics and some new content for you!

- The Covinari have found their way to your kingdom - fabled mercenaries that will work and fight for you if you build a Keep. 10 classes with distinct talents and traits await you to recruit them.
- Archons might now deem your colony worthy of their attention and start watching over it when your population is great enough.
- You can now undertake Pilgrimages if you have enough Archons. Pilgrimages will reward you with powerful relics
- Being active in the game generates Enthusiasm. You can use your enthusiasm to hold speeches that bolster various aspects of your colony.
- Over twenty new unique ornaments have been added to the game
- Several new strange sightings have been added to the game
- Several new random events have been added to the game
- Some more typos have been addressed
- Villager allocation now properly triggers achievements once more
- You no longer need to swap in and out of the exploration panel for it to acknowledge manual soldier allocation
- Belts, Cloaks, Bracers added to Hero items
- Exploration buffs added to hero items
- Various interface elements have been redone.
- New achievements
- New researches for your keep
- Many other changes that we invite you to find for yourself

We invite you to explore the new version. There will most probably be bugs and we will fix them ASAP. Thank you again, you are truly amazing people!

I'm going to be updating the game trailer and adding some Steam achievements until the weekend, so look forward to that too.

NOTE: Minor note but some of you might've noticed that our username changed. This was due to some bureaucratic reasons that have to do with accounting and such, nothing interesting. So don't panic if some of our forum posts no longer have the tag.
Also, CraetoV is an official staff member so his word is gold when he replies to things :)

Have an awesome day,
