Generals! Thanks for all of the feedback we’ve received over the last few days. We’re hard at work addressing as much of it as possible and plan to incorporate more into another patch that will happen later down the line. The main issues we wanted to address were the country selection screen being broken in several mods, as well as an exploit regarding ‘Force Attack’. Both of these issues are fixed now alongside a bunch of other bug fixes and balance changes. Besides letting us know what to focus on, I’d also like to ask if there are any changes people would like to see regarding the patch notes. For example I’ve bounced between using country tags and full names for highlighting purposes. I’d like to know if there’s a preference. /Batya
