Patch v114 – Pirate Gold

by

Hi everyone,

We pushed a new patch earlier today. There are a few new features, changes and bug fixes. You can find the full details below.

We weren’t planning to release this patch today. But this morning one of the game servers went down for a few hours and it was better to push the changes we had ready alongside applying a fix to bring the servers back online.

While the servers were experiencing issues earlier the game was launching as normal but no orders were processed e.g. ordering a fleet to move or a building to construct had no effect. Apologies to those of you that were affected by this.
