Hi Everyone, Quick update for you today - we're excited to announce we're now [b]Steam Deck Verified![/b] The game should now run great, look great, and control great on the Steam Deck.

[*] Optimize catapult target finding [*] Increase camera zoom range during map select [*] Increase favor gained when you humor the AI during the joke conversation[/list] [h3]Fixes[/h3][list] [*] Fixed issue in gamepad controls where building selection did not clear unit selection [*] Fixed input issue on Steam Deck when using Steam Dock and starting the game with a keyboard and mouse where the game would get stuck in gamepad control mode.
