I found and fixed a couple of reported issues with the supply chain (I think); we need to watch to verify all is well and nothing else is broken. The foraging modifier and the adjacent area interception fixes should be noticeable. Please review downgrading diplomatic relations and check out release of prisoners. I was about to release this last week but noticed a couple of issues during my playtests which I resolved. I am hoping that the remaining bugs are few and far between now.
On a personal note, I completed my move a couple weeks ago and settled into my new residence. I'm back to my old routines. Months ago I was optimistic about getting the next official update out by now. LOL. The game code continues to surprise me with lingering issues and then life happens. We'll get there.
Let's see how this goes, again. As always, I'm standing by to investigate any and all reported bugs and observed AI weaknesses. And as before, if you spot something then please please get a good game save of the issue and perhaps of the previous game phase so I can reproduce the issue for troubleshooting. Feedback, both good and bad, is useful as I drive towards a final version for the next official update. We're getting close. Thanks. Enjoy!
