Update 1.7 is live!

We just released Update 1.7, introducing the all new "Supervolcanic Eruption" disaster! Read the full changelog below: Changes: [list] [*] Added the Supervolcanic Eruption disaster to the game! [*] The first supervolcanic eruption in modern human history. Originating at the Kikai Caldera in Japan, resulting in massive destruction and tsunamis hitting coastlines around Asia. The ash released will trigger a mini-ice age, resulting in power shortages and famine on a global scale. [*] Improved the naming of Research Tracks. [/list] Balance changes: [list] [*] Small change to Earth’s “Nature Pile-Up” decision in the Pest Control stage of the Locust Plague, to make the two cheaper options more appealing. [*] Small change to Industry’s “After-Effects Discovered” and “After-Effects Need Research” options, to make “Wait and see” option more appealing. [*] Large overhaul of internal systems that may slightly affect the balance. These changes will be offset in future (balance) updates. [/list] Bug fixes: [list] [*] Renamed server regions to accurately reflect both Hong Kong and Japan as viable options for Chinese players. Choosing the location closest to your location should reduce connection issues.
