Hi everyone
Coming in todays release is the integration of [b]leaderboards[/b] into the game.

[h1]Leaderboards[/h1]
With this latest update comes a range of new leaderboards for you to view. This initial release comes with [b]5 leaderboards [/b], but now that the framework has been laid I'll be looking into introducing more of them as I introduce new content and modes.
You can access the leaderboards, along with the achievements here: [b][url=https://steamcommunity.com/stats/1455300/leaderboards/7701072]Click to view leader-boards[/url][/b]
I've ran into a few times where updates to the leaderboards were either slow or didn't come through. I'll be monitoring this and checking new scores as they come in. Hopefully this is just a temporary issue.
[h2]Total Citizens[/h2]
[b]This leaderboard tracks the number of citizens you have in your current settlement[/b]. As you grow larger and larger settlements you'll eventually get to 400, 500 or even 600 citizens. Theoretically there's no limit to the number of citizens you can have in a settlement, though getting near 1000 citizens seems to tank performance (watch this space for an update about this coming soon)
[h2]Sandbox Mode Playtime[/h2]
Sandbox mode has gotten a few updates in this patch. Now you'll be able to select from several new maps, including both African and Gaulish maps. To go with these new maps, [b]this leader-board tracks the amount of time you've played a single sandbox mode[/b] (in seconds).
While there's already achievements when you reach 15, 30 and 45m, this board will be another way you can see how long someone has lasted.
[h2]Highest Income Earned[/h2]
[b]This leaderboard tracks the highest amount of income you've been able to attain in a single game[/b]. As you create larger settlements and create extensive industries you'll amass more income and with that a higher place on the leader-board.
[h2]Highest Monthly Income Earned[/h2]
[b]This Leaderboard tracks the highest amount of monthly income you've earned in a single playthrough[/b]. Similar to the previous leader-board, but instead of banked currency, this one tracks your monthly income.
[h2]Total Upgraded Dwellings[/h2]
[b]This leaderboard tracks the number of upgraded dwellings in your settlement[/b]. Any dwelling that has reached level 2 or higher will be counted. Your goal here will be to upgrade as many dwellings as possible. It doesn't matter if the dwelling is level 2, 3 or 4, it will be counted as a single entry.
Try providing as many resources and services to encourage your citizens to upgrade to climb this ladder.
[h1]Summary[/h1]
Hopefully these leaderboards provide another way to monitor your progress and they should appear in the main game menu along with achievements.
Have fun!
