#### Patch 1.1.3 (14 December 2018)

Hello everyone!

Dear pathfinders,Even while delivering our first major DLC, the Wildcards, we
never stopped working with your feedback and suggestions. Here is the next
batch of fixes and improvements we've made after your comments. Of course, we
shall carry on with this work even after the DLC is out. The next big step for
us will be Patch 1.2, which should become available in the middle of the
January. In the meantime we will keep reading your bug reports and monitoring
your posts in order to resolve the most pressing issues in Hotfixes.Please,
pay attention that the size of this update is quite big because it includes
the content of the DLC. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Please, be aware of the plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest,
Areas and Kingdom sections)!

##### New features

* The party can teleport between settlements if they have a special building - the Teleportation Circle.

##### Quests

* Players could re-start the first test from The Secrets of Suramgamin quest after its successful completion, which blocked further quest progression. Resolution: fixed.

##### Areas

* Killing Nilak fails the Reforged Blade quest from now on. We hope this will make Amiri's Test of Loyalty result more clear for the players who have experienced this quest resolution.
* The different ways in which Tristian's Saving Grace quest could get resolved don't influence the result of the Test of Loyalty event any more (the status of the quest still matters, however). We hope this will make the conditions of Jaethal's and Tristian's survival more clear for the players.
* From now on, if during Jubilost's Door to Nowhere quest the player chooses to grant immortality to a random gnome (Nyrd), she will appear in Irovetti's Palace regardless of whether the player killed her before or not. This will allow Jubilost to survive his trial in the House at the Edge of Time after being saved by Nyrd.
* From now on, Harrim survives the Test of Loyalty event with any successful completion of the The Unmaking quest now. We hope this will make Harrim's Test of Loyalty result more clear for players.

* The Old Gnome dialogue about the party splitting after filling Everblooming Flower with poison blocked further progression. Resolution: fixed.

#### Patch A8.1:1212a (13 December 2018)

##### Improvements and Changes

* Added the conditional AND/OR for objectives in Scenario Creation.
* Adjusted the Population caps and Settlement starting settings.-- All start with Farmer’s Market and Hardware Store.-- Removed the starting shop, introduced a fourth tier. Towns go back to have 2 starter shops (no initial 3rd shop)-- 80% of Settlements start with 50k to 100k population.-- 20% of Settlements start with 175k to 225k population and one additional shop.-- Adjusted how Settlements level up between Tier 0 to Tier 4.

##### Bugfixes

* Fixed a bug where Grants would not give players the correct amount.
* Fixed the Spawn rate of Settlements, so most of them do not have a third shop.

#### Update 1.7 (14 December 2018)

##### New

* Dynamic platform choice-- Large train stations and warehouses can now be upgraded with a signaling control. All trains passing or stopping at such a station will make their own choice of platform.-- Trains will then always choose the platform which is the least busy at that time, which will then reduce idle time at highly frequented stations.-- During the creation of train lines, routing to a specific platform is not available at train stations with a signaling control.-- Another use of train stations with a signaling control is the ability to reduce idle times caused by maintenance of engines. While a locomotive engine is serviced at a station with signaling control, other trains entering the station will choose a different platform automatically.-- For highly frequented lines, an additional warehouse with signaling control and maintenance shed can be constructed.-- Trains that need to be serviced will stop at the warehouse, while other trains will pass the warehouse on a free track.

* New Staff member has been added-- The Analyst will cause hysteria on the stock market by planting false reports to increase ordecrease the share price of a company.

* Banks / Finance update-- It is now possible to acquire 100% of a company’s shares without merging with it. In such an event, the player will automatically receive all surplus of the company. It will no longer be able to expand, but will continue to do business as usual. This state can only be change by a merger with that company.

##### Bugfixes

* Some seed values of random scenarios have not been processed correctly during input.
* Awards, which have already been paid out for connecting a city or a business, will not be offered again.
* Added a video tooltip and manual entry for the dynamic platform choice station.
* Rearranged building menu, such that the supply tower is on the first page.

##### Improvements

* ## [Great Britain & Ireland DLC] Based on community feedback, we have replaced the flat roofs of some buildings with gable roofs.
