Hello! Greetings! It's so nice to see you here again, after all this time. It's been a while! How have you been?

Here in modland, there are some changes we have to talk about. The 1.5 / Waking The Penguin content from Paradox has come to pass, as foretold in the ancient forum posts. It changes quite a lot of the game, and in good ways. It also reaves an unholy swath through the unsuspecting masses of citizen uploads. It's the digital apocalypse, from which few mods will survive.

Using an arcane ritual that involved an unpronouncable language, my own life force, some duct tape, and a highly motivated gerbil - I was able to get 56 to survive.

This patch is primarily technical changes. Lots of bug fixes, tweaks, and then an innocent single line all the way at the bottom which actually constitutes of the majority of work. Basically, the focus here was to get 56 to run with 1.5 without utterly destroying itself Godzilla style.

We also have a new tree for Indonesia as a small bonus. Additionally, new AI scripts! It's experimental at this point, but I went ahead and applied it to all the warmaking focuses in the game. Expect to see it steadily improved and applied to more and more stuff. I also wrote in some new riot events, which tie into the decision system and stability mechanics. It was more of a demonstration of capabilities, but in time it will grow as well. Lastly, but not leastly, there's a lot of new art - and many tweaks / rebalances. Some of them may involve time travel.

Please keep in mind that this is not a content compatibility patch. In other words, the 1.5 / WTT stuff is very likely to conflict with 56 for a while in terms of events and similar. This will absolutely be patched in the coming days as reports come in.

Thanks again for your patience, care, and good vibrations. Just don't vibrate too hard, or else the resonant frequency will break your computer.

Hello Citizens! This is a huge patch, so large in fact that it destroys the text limit for notes. In summary: Major balance changes, numerous bug fixes, and continued reformatting and efficiency tweaks. There is (almost) no new content. We added a few new graphics for jets, but that's it.

Please check the forums later for the full notes.

For now, JudgeAlfred is in charge while I go deal with something horrifying and terribly exciting.

Enjoy your November, and good luck!
