Hey Steam,

What an insane ride this has been so far ! Huge thanks to everyone who has been helping out to get there.

Today the workshop opens up, with support for community translations ! The workshop being an amazing tool and considering how modular WotA is, expect some cool additions to what you can publish to enhence and customize the game !

French is officially supported, and 6 other languages, Chinese, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian and Spanish are made available immediatly -but- from google translations. If you are fluent in a non officially supported language please help your fellow people by making that language available on the workshop ! A guide is available here.

As previously stated there will be many achievements to challenge you and now there are 9 new ones, testing your offensive and economic skills as well as one that is an extreme time challenge.

There are several other improvements to the game itself, the expedition menu shown when giving orders to an army has been simplified to only show the total duration of the expedition.

Two new selection actions to quickly go to defending or attacking battles are now available.

There is also a widget that appears on the right of the screen when you are attacked, it shows how many battles you're currently defending. You can also click it to reach each battle quickly. That will make micro managing battle a lot simpler and prevent letting attacks slip through while being busy elsewhere !

The engine version has also been updated with a major update, hence the size of this update. The overall size of the game is now smaller, and following updates should be a lot more optimized. Tests of that new engine version have been great so far but if you were to experience any weird behaviour please report ASAP.
