Office
  • Company crests - 24 more to choose from, with animals, buildings and trades among them

  • Delete messages - throw a message out of your inbox, or clear everything you have already read in one go. It only goes for you, the other side keeps their copy

  • Quiet inbox - AI mail off in the inbox header and the AI firms stop writing to you with offers and standing deals

  • Goodwill - a second currency you earn by taking part in world events and spend on titles for your company

  • Titles - ten to buy and five keepsakes that only drop for being there when something happened

  • Open books - a switch that shows your businesses, routes and research on your profile; cash and stock stay private

Economy
  • Worldwide events - events that reach every city at once, run for days and are announced half a day ahead by a message in your inbox

  • City festival - a city throws a festival for a day and pays more for everyday goods while it lasts

  • Trade agreement - short hauls under 80 km cost a third less while it lasts

  • Boomtown - one city booms for five days, and it is picked from the ones with the most room left

  • Notice board - a Board tab in the Exchange where companies post what they want and what they offer, at a fixed price

  • Community contract - one delivery too big for a single company, with a flat payment for everyone who joins in and a cap so nobody can fill it alone

  • Demand slump - customers hold back on tools, windows and ready meals for two days, and the price falls with them

  • Mentoring - an established company can take on a new one; the newcomer gets paid for its first steps, the mentor gets the credit and nothing else

Research
  • Innovation week - every company gets a second research slot for the week, and sole traders may start research without waiting for level 2

Interface
  • Ranking leagues - the ranking splits by company level and opens on your own, so a new company is compared with other new ones

Main menu
  • Mentor card - the main menu says what your mentoring is waiting on and takes you straight to it

Improved

Economy
  • Event signs - a drought, a trade fair or a rail strike carries its own sign in the events list, in the colour that says whether it helps you or hurts you

Research
  • Tree pictures - every node in the research tree carries its own picture, so you find a branch by its shape instead of reading every name

Main menu
  • More from priowerk - Brass Ring and Sandbox Mechanics join the games shown under the leaderboard

Logistics
  • Vehicle pictures - lorries, trains, barges and loading points are drawn in the same style as the goods standing next to them

AI firms
  • More rivals - the world now holds up to 100 AI firms instead of 40, so more cities get local competition

  • Fair play during events - AI firms no longer run extra deliveries into a city just because an event pushed its prices up

Fixed

1 change
Logistics
  • Rail strike - the national railway kept running while every station was on strike, so the strike did nothing to anyone without a station of their own
