Dear Citizens of Sordland,

Patch 1.1.4 is released! We made several improvements to economy related feedback and adjusted some scenes. Some balance updates were made around public opinion and several bug fixes were made to increase the quality of the game. You can find the changelog at the bottom of the post.

We also have a new art contest happening now!

Art Contest!

Today we would like to announce the start of the first major community event for Suzerain. As you might have noticed some reforms have happened to make the discord easier to navigate. This came with an extra channel #ministry-of-art at our Discord server.

So starting today we will hold an art contest to find the best our community can offer. For our first theme we want something that encapsulates Suzerain best. That is why we chose the theme: "Sordland". We would love to see the fans interpretation of Sordlands culture, landscapes, values, history, potential, its new president Rayne and his family, anywhere you mind may take you.

Contest will last for two weeks. Ending at the 12th of April 13:00 CET.

Prizes:

• 1 Steam key
  
• 15 minute chat with one of the devs!
  
• The winners will be shared on all our socials like the official Twitter, Reddit, Discord etc
  
• A special Discord role called "Artist of Sordland"
