## "THE WORLD STAGE" UPDATE

@everyone we updated the mod on **Steam**!

Following the plan we outlined a while ago, this update includes a bunch of **bug fixes** and a major rework of the **World Stage**. Some of the countries that were too crude were reverted back to their generic trees.

In addition to what we originally planned for this update, we also included a new mechanic for the **Seto Sea crisis**, which involves Shikoku, Chugoku and the islands between them. Also, this updates includes a bunch of new cosmetic **events** that inform the player of developments in other countries like changes of government, mobilizations and even dangerous researches.

The next step in the road map is the **The Great Navigators** update, which is the rework of Dutch Hirado, Kyushu Navy Junta and Portuguese Nagasaki.
