Ooooooh darky, prisons finally!
It sounds really great.
Any words on rebels? Will prisons fix it?

Now I just hope to see different tanks depending on which country invades you! :D

[Kniescheibe]

GREAT news thank you very much! population slider + prisons I love it

[Poil]

Awesome, thank you so much. :)
Especially the ability to disable the event minicam, it really tanked performance on those scenic sweeping views for me.

No. Rebels are a problem. This is by design.

The game offers several ways to avert/counter/eliminate rebels and the rebel threat.

Wow, population limit up to 10.000 (I will probably set it at 3000 or 4000, as the game is balanced for a smallish population), prisons, disable minicam and some fixes to the Almanac (the births stats still bugged, but that is minor, I guess). Looking amazing! Congrats Kalypso.

P.S. I do not know why people think rebels are such a huge problem. I for one rarely have trouble with them and I almost never have rebellions when popular with all factions...

I wanted to know if there are new traits added to the game since launch or we are still with 20 traits? Any plans releasing more traits? Thanks!

Awesome new update, especially the population slider, the prisons and all the fixes!! Amazing!

So why were we told in the 1.06 thread that you were looking into fixing rebels to how the community expects them? We were also told you would be looking into amending how the military works along with a rebel on/off toggle.

Now that you have finally added the prison, rebels are alot easier to deal with, granted, however they are still not working in an ideal manner that actually makes sense to alot of people.

Its a shame that you have reverted back to an issue you are unwilling to change by stating thats how you want it, yet the community is still saying to you it is wrong. Might go build a bed with only 3 legs so it wobbles alot, but hell, its how I made it and thus the customer should not get different.

On a different note however, thanks for the patch with pop cap toggle.
