This is summer time, and I am both far from my historical documentation and working on my next project.
Therefore, I will take this occasion to ship only small updates to fix minor issues, instead of more content.

These summer patches are for Windows only; Mac and Linux users will have to wait until September.

In today's patch:

* I reworked the Zhili clique AI for better defense of the Beijing Area.
* I changed the cost of the new relief actions (those that cost 4 QI now only cost 3).
* I fixed the behavior of the "escape" key, taking into account players' feedback.

If you were wondering about my next project, you can play its free browser draft here[www.cold-war2.com].

I am actually remaking that Cold War game for PC. The aim is not only to make a more polished version but also to create a highly moddable game.

Have a nice summer!

The changes in that patch only apply to Windows.
If players like them, Mac OS and Linux will receive them too.

Did you know that the game's author was color-blind?
One might have guessed it given the audacious color choices in the game's UI.

Well... I finally acknowledged that this needed a rework.
The game now has sober colors.

But don't worry, you can still revert to the original UI by selecting the option "Make my eyes bleed!" in the options menu.

I took the opportunity of that patch to add a long-requested feature: the ability to search for a character by name in the Who's Who menu (the one you use to display lists of characters).

That's all for today.

这个补丁的更改仅适用于Windows系统。
如果玩家喜欢，Mac OS和Linux系统也将会获得这些更改。

你知道这个游戏的作者是色盲吗？
从游戏界面中大胆的颜色选择来看，人们可能已经猜到了这一点。

嗯……我最终承认这需要重新设计。
游戏现在采用了朴素的颜色。

但是别担心，你仍然可以通过在选项菜单中选择“让我的眼睛流血！”来恢复原始界面。

我借此补丁的机会增加了一个长期被请求的功能：在“谁是谁”菜单中（你用来显示角色列表的菜单）按名字搜索角色的能力。

今天就到这里。
