Dear Players,\n\nThis update consists of a massive performance improvement as well as the start of the visual Colony faction overhaul to bring the Colony faction up to par with the Tribe and the Army in terms of visual quality.\n\nWe\'re adding our new, high quality models of (almost) all Colony structures to the game.\nHere\'s a sneak peek of the Blacksmith, Saloon, Market and Port.\n\n\n\nYou\'ll be able to look at all other new and improved structure models in game.\nFeel free to share your opinion.\nWe really hope you like them as much as we do!\n\nThe remaining structures and the updated Colony units will be added in the coming patches, so you can look forward to that.\n\nAnother difference you might notice (or hopefully, you won\'t notice anything at all) is our performance update.\n\nWith today\'s update, we have drastically improved performance for situations with large unit counts by computing unit movement and combat targeting asynchronously. Hence, you should experience less stuttering in higher difficulty and longer missions with allies where the unit count can get a bit extreme.\n\nAlso, if you were frustrated about your \"Max UI Width\" and \"Zoom Limit\" settings resetting after closing the game, we have good news for you.\nYour preferred settings will now be saved so you don\'t have to bother adjusting them every time you start the game.\n\nAnd, as always, a few bugs were squashed in the process.\n\nFind the full list of patch notes below.\n\n
