Sort&Filter Update is out!
Proud Victorians, Hear ye, Hear ye once more!

Today, Her Majesty's Land Registry have declared the completion of the largest database of Empire's property, as requested by our sublime and ineffable Queen! As our Empire has outgrown the Earth itself, new methods were needed for keeping the ever enlarging registries of Royal possessions, and hence they were swiftly implemented. As a result, hear and laud the newest opulences granted to our loyal citizens!

  • Market registry was coated with lots of new sorting, including by future values (a.k.a. in lower strata as "prognosis"). Sort by the price prognosis (with alt+click) and work from the top of the list while ordering to erect related industries to balance the supply!
  • Of course, new filters are available - Construction and Government. And they do show goods that are really used by the Empire's current configuration of related Buildings.
  • Existing filters underwent most scrutiny and were changed henceforth. Staple filter now shows our lower strata's interest (known to them as less than 15 SoL Goods), and Luxury filter puts on display our finest valuables (from 15 SoL and above). Industrial filter was adequately updated to include all commodities needed for our manufacturing industry.
  • Finally, the registry of States for requesting new Buildings (a.k.a. Map List) was completely revamped! Huge amounts of new sorting and filtering were added - check all the documents and instructions hovering over sorting buttons to study them. The List was also split into pages to ease the workload due to vast amounts of the Empire's provinces and industries. Oh, and all the settings you select can be saved as presets and loaded later - who would have thought that it was even possible!

For our Middle Strata citizens, these additional qualities were included:
  • Market Filters were supplemented with important tooltips. Military, Construction and Government - with related treasury expenses. And Staple and Luxury - with related strata summary, like their tolls and bills.
  • Map List now includes a new peculiar button - Labor/Qualifications switch. In the new Qualifications mode you can see related citizen's specialties needed for the Building in question. This is especially useful when working with our distant Colonial Domains, where higher strata folk may be hard to come by.
  • Small building icons shown in the Map List can now be instructed (with Ctrl+click) to lighten up in all States. Don't forget to turn this on for all of our Opium and Silk plantations and other rare resources!
  • Other Map List improvements include the following. States with hiring complications now also show this here. A separate icon for States undergoing incorporation to the Empire is now shown, along with the progress. Lastly, occupancy progress was added as whole State button overlay.
  • Fresh new alerts were also rolled out! Now you won't miss If our colonial growth points are wasted or a State becomes possible to incorporate into our realm.

Our indigent Laborers and Farmers were once more rewarded with Her Majesty concern. Here are some little joys they were also granted.
  • Market access Alert now also shows remaining construction weeks of railway/port.
  • Next hire Alert now also shows labor prognosis and population growth.
  • High unemployment Alert can now be toggled by hovering over the Topbar unemployment icon.
  • Building levels are colored gold if they exceed the benefit of the economy of scale.
  • Double icons (like labor+prognosis) were converted to single overlaid ones to save space
  • Transparency of Goods values were changed to half if price prognosis differs by less than 1% and to quarter if they are totally equal.
  • Several Map List tooltips were changed slightly. Jobs construction were added to the construction number tooltip. Hiring next was added to normal hires tooltip. Next hire delta and hire delta were added to labor prognosis tooltip.
  • Some values were made transparent if equal to zero in Map List (i.e. jobs auto).

Bear ye well these facts in mind and through your efforts help spread this gladness!
Amazed chatter and gossips keep spreading around on whether the limits to the advancement of the Empire even exist!?
