If you have made a donation (regardless of the amount) before the supporter is available, I will send you a Steam key for the supporter pack when it is released. There are a couple of people who've donated but I don't have the contact information - if you are one of them, feel free to give me a ping on Discord or email (hi @ fishpondstudio . com) with the GitHub account that you used to donate on Github so that I can send you a Steam key.
New Map: Beijing

Gameplay
- Remake Oxford University: +10% science output for buildings that produce science. When completed, generate one-time science equivalent to the cost of the most expensive unlocked technology.
- Rebirth in cities now have different minimum permanent great people level requirement. 0 for Rome, 5 for Athens, 10 for Memphis and 15 for Beijing
- Pyramid of Giza now costs Stone (from Brick) for construction
QoL
- Improve save file reliability: previously the game directly wrote to the save file. In case of power loss or crash, there's a slight chance the save file might be corrupted and manual recovery is needed. From this version, the game will write to a temporary file, and after the write operation succeeds, the game will copy the temporary file to overwrite the main save file. If power loss happens, you might lose a short progress but it should prevent save file corruption.
- Add supporter badge for supporter pack owners
- Support upgrading to Quaestor without antibot requirement (48h playtime) for supporter pack owner
