[h3]Outliner Customization[/h3] In 3.10.2, we've added the ability to fully customize your Outliner tabs. In your Outliner Options, there is now a toggle for Custom Outliner Tab, which will let you select any elements you wish to show on that particular tab. This should allow you to set up your tabs however you desire, including putting everything on a single tab or duplicating the same information across different tabs if you wish. (For example, if you want a "Peace" and "War" tab, with different information or sorting.)

(As well as further bugfixing as needed.) [h3]And After That?[/h3] The 3.11 [b]"Eridanus"[/b] update in 2024Q1 will focus on stability, AI, and balance. We're planning on running a balance related Open Beta over the holidays to collect feedback regarding some experiments around Research.
