Patch ver. 1.2.4 This one's a small one and basically serves to fix one particular issue: [Fix] Fixed the issue with Robot-treasure interaction (where the "play treasure" button wouldn't apprear). [Fix] Minor fixes in the Resolution screen in options Menu.

Old versus new, classic vs revamped - join us in the Concordia: Digital Edition group for the most important vote yet - and make your voice heard!

From nearly 90 players the champion emerges Troubleintokyo currently holds the title of The Best Merchant in Istanbul! In the very quick 16-round game he took over Vittorio (2nd place), KingMePlease (3rd place) and the two runner-ups Pintachan (who was also a finlaist in the 1st tournament) and asturia. The champion has won the Big Box provided by Pegasus Spiele, and every contestant who reached the Championship Phase receives a code for one of our games of their chosing. If you wish to know about the structure of the event, read this post. But about the games themselves we gathered some (hopefully) interesting stats throughout the tournament! You can see them here. If this at all sparks your interest be on the lookout! The next event will be in, roughly, half a year, after the release of Concordia: Digital Edition and will involve, naturally, Concordia itself!

This is the perfect opportunity for you to discover any and all of our discounted digital boardgames. Check them out! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1046660/Charterstone_Digital_Edition/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/943410/Istanbul_Digital_Edition/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/656590/EightMinute_Empire/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/595930/Steam_Rails_to_Riches/

Here's the full list of 1.1.7 changes for PC:

• [Change] We updated the Privacy Policy to include Acram Digital Sp. z o.o. - which wile legally distinct is the exact same team. We're just streamlining things - legally speaking.
• [Fix] On some screen resolutions, the cards shown during crate opening were smaller than they were supposed to be.
• [Fix] Fixed the issue that caused the game to freeze due to crate being opened at the beginning of the game.
• [Fix] Loyal/Rebel personas chosen in game 11 were active straight up - this was fixed.
• [Fix] Game can no longer freeze during online play if we're the last human player in the room.

Long story short - we're streamlining our operation, legally speaking, from our end and we had to add Acram Digital Sp. z o.o. (which would translate to Acram Digital Ltd.) to our privacy policy. Once you launch the game, once the update goes through that is, you'll be faced with a pop-up message about just that. If you continue past that message you will have conceded to our new updated Privacy Policy. But as I have mentioned, nothing apart from this addition has changed in it, so do not worry! Should you be interested, you can read our Privacy Policy HERE.

The day has finally come and Nintendo Switch has joined the plethora of platforms on which (and with which) you can build the new Eternal City! And to remind you - Chartertone: Digital Edition does support full cross-platform multiplayer so you will be able to play with your friends (or strangers) regardless of which device they're using! More info and useful links here: https://bit.ly/3jB4x9G

This has actually been released last week, but in all the rush, we seem to not have announced it. Sorry!

• [Added] A popup warning that the last turn has begun.
• [Fix] Fixed the crashing that occurred during generation/replaying of the Income phase.

The patches are getting fewer and farther in between. That's good - this means there's less things that require fixing! The patch is live on Steam, App Store and Play Store as we speak. Here's the full list of changes for this patch:

• [Added] A proper screen resolution options window.
• [Change] Building card that can be constructed automatically will be highlighted when we perform certain actions (that give that result).
• [Change] The default charter name is now "{Player Name}'s Charter".
• [Change] Popup input field no longer opens up automatically on mobile devices - this allows users to read the actual popup.
• [Fix] The icon of Retrieve All action from Coach Persona (313) no longer appears on buildings - it caused confusion.
• [Fix] Fixed the tooltips given by the bottom-right corner characters.
• [Fix] When and if players auto-unlock components in Game 11 - it happens via a Chest opening animation. For clarity.
• [Fix] Building points value will now always be visible during construction.
• [Fix] Fixed the Game 4 Guidepost (it will now properly inform about the current game being longer or shorter than usual).
• [Fix] Icons vanishing under the Buildings on big screens.
• [Fix] We can now send Butler to an Objective Scoring Building if we need one more Coin to score the "Have 6 Coins" objective.
• [Fix] Fixed the issue where a Player was falsely accused of blowing out the Candle (when another player took the Fuel Shortage peril token).
• [Fix] Fixed game freezing when using Amulets while having no Influence.
• [Fix] Fixed reconnecting to online games.
• [Fix] Income from buildings was appearing without Charter symbol. Now fixed.
• [Fix] Perfumer Persona (257) no longer lets us retrieving the worker we just sent.

Right - so the two main offenders of the patch 1.1.1 have been dealt with - broken Tome cards and he ground hog day games where insead of moving forward to the next game you'd be reverted a few turns back in the same game. We are also aware of the resolution options dialog screen being gone (the one that launched before the app itself). As it turns out, Unity simply pulled the plug on that feature. We're searching for a quick workaround before we can implement a permanent solution. We'll keep you informed.

• [Fix] Tomes work again.
• [Fix] Issue with "ground hog day" games was fixed.
• [Fix] Issue with game saves duplicating was fixed.
• [Fix] Buildings display in Campaign Scroing Info screen has been fixed.
• [Fix] Victories calculation and Chancellor persona (Card 308) interaction has been fixed.
• [Added] Simple tooltips to the timeline.

In this long anticipated QOL change, amongst actual bufixes, we bring you (our cherished playerbase), the long anticipated Hot Keys, customizable from the game menu.

• [Added] Hot Keys on PC!
• [Fix][AI] - Multiple small AI bugfixes
• [Fix] Corner case with the Diversify Production Objective (have 1 of each Resource), Objective scoring building with a Resource in its cost, and a Golem minion fixed.
• [Fix] During the Income phase we now receive Influence before Reputation.
• [Fix] The Treasure icon will not appear on Worker occupied buildings if we picked a Minion (and thus can't send it there).
• [Fix] Guidepost victory dice roll now displays properly (when resolving a tie).
• [Added] Increasing reputation will automatically be skipped if the Reputation track has no more empty slots.
• [Tweak] Optimization tweaks.
• [Fix] Chat is back! We broke it briefly, sorry about that.

You know an update is big when it's all golden and all! This time we bring you the long - awaited update o the tutorial! Jumping into the campaign should now be easier and more seamless to players unfamiliar with Charterstone. Full list of changes:

• [Change] Tutorial has been updated! Having received a multitude of comments, emails, messages, and tweets telling us our tutorial was not good enough - we've updated it! We hope this will make the entry-level for players completely new to Charterstone lower and enhance everyone's overall experience. Give it a try and let us know if you think it's still missing something.

• [Fix] 3 digit values will now be taken into account in the window where we choose the Campaign scoring type.
• [Fix] Fixed a bug where the Candle sabotage action appeared twice in a row.

• [Change] Entering a room will now make all lingering notifications (red badge in the News section) be considered as read - the game will assume you've seen the - and thus the badge will disappear.

• [Fix] You can no longer spy on your opponent's choices during Sky Islands by viewing tooltips that should not yet have been there.

This time we mostly dealt with weird edge cases that freeze the game because it actually works properly and we did not put safety measures against some Catch 22-like cases. This will not happen now, but they ones that already have will remain like this - so restarting that given game may be required. Anyway, here's a nice bullet pointed list.

• [Fix] You will no longer be misled you can score your opponents' objective.
• [Fix] You will no longer be able to send a Worker (Golem to be exact) to an objective scoring building when you could not score any objectives.
• [Fix] Fixes to the campaign scoring choice moment in the Campaign.
• [Fix] Game 6 will no longer get blocked after the die roll.
• [Fix] Timeline fixes to the Glory choices at the beginning of games.
• [Fix][AI] Small errors fixed.
• [Fix] Wins after games 2 and 3 will now be counted correctly.
• [Fix] Scroll would sometimes skip the actual construction of a building, not just the cost of said construction. Now fixed.
• [Fix] Fixed the background operations where the scroll should play itself automatically.,
• [Fix] Game will now properly detect situations where there is no room for constructing a building and thus forbid you from visiting a construction building.

Long story short - we fixed a whole bunch of pesky bugs, optimized the game a bit and added the Italian translation. The update is live on iOS and Steam, and will be live on Android... when Google says so.

• [Fix] Crate opening replay animation was fixed.
• [Fix] Bonus for the die roll in game 6 now works properly.
• [Fix] Friends now combo properly with the bonus for the game 6 die roll.
• [Fix] Gambler Persona no longer works in Commons and Cloud Port.
• [Fix] Multiple fixes to the buildings' tooltips - they're now more accurate and more precise.
• [Fix] The voice queue announcing the last round will no longer repeat when it shouldn't.
• [Camera] Moving the camera during the between-rounds replay will take over the control over the camera. It will no longer reset with each player's turn. Looking around the map during other players' turns should be way less frustrating now.
• [Tutorial] We changed around some of the tutorial screens in the Commons section.
• [Fix] Titles of Glory categories now properly change with their descriptions.
• [Fix] Replay button works again.
• [Fix] Replay now works in the beginning stages of the Campaign - including the opening story screens.
• [Fix] Certain multiplayer rooms broke during replay - this will no longer happen.
• [Android][iOS] The game consumes less RAM now.
• [Fix] Fixed the bug where we could not rename cards if we opened the cards screen for the first time.
• [Fix] Games frozen at the end-of-game 8 will now unfreeze.
• [Fix] The game will no longer get stuck when crafting an Item after sending a Worker to a Building (and no longer being able to afford the building).
• [Tutorial] The tutorial will now appear at the beginning of our turn, not when placing the first building and it's been added to the multiplayer now as well.
• [Tutorial] Additional tutorial improvements - appropriate elements of the UI are now being highlighted when tutorialized.
• [Fix] The Online Game will no longer freeze if the player leaves it during placing of the first building.
• [Fix] Progress Track now properly shows the amount of steps for the game.
• [AI] AI will try to send its Minions before its workers now.
• [Added] Italian translation.

tl;dr Most, if not all issues with online games freezing, crashing or otherwise breaking should be fixed.

• [AI] AI Easy should now be easier to beat.
• [AI] AI will not open Crates with a lot of buildings in them at the end of games so that they don't lose those buildings.
• [FIX] You can now load the local Campaigns that got broken and were stuck in the loading screen.
• [FIX] Online Campaign error "Invalid saved game data. Error Code: -2" has been fixed. If you encounter it again, please contact us immediately.
• [FIX] Advancement of Progress Token (and all connected triggers - like Sherpa) at the last step of the Progress Track will no longer happen. Last step is the last step, as it should be.
• [FIX] Missing text from end-of-game 11 was fixed.
• [FIX] Guideposts should all work properly now.
• [FIX] Constructing a building is now a revertable action.
• [FIX] Cards, resources and components that should be unlocked automatically at a certain stage now properly do so.
• [FIX] Using a Crafter persona could have, in certain cases, grant us too many VP. It's been fixed.
• [FIX] Text in the amount of Coins to gain choise window has been fixed.
• [FIX] In some cases the game would allow us to send our Robot to a building we could not afford. The game would not allow us to revert that move due to revealing a card from the Advancement Deck - effectively freezing the game. This will no longer happen.
• [FIX] You will no longer freeze the game by clicking the wrong way in the Sky Islands window.
• [FIX] Game would sometimes not allow us take the Advancement Card via a Robot if we had the Persona card 255.
• [FIX] Glory assigning issue has been fixed.
• [FIX] Perills now correctly appear on buildings constructed automatically in inactive Charters.
• [FIX] Objective Card 310 (Have at Least 3 Minions) now shows how many Minions we have and how many we're still missing.
• [FIX] Online Games will no longer freeze during companion bonus selection.

Here's the comprehensive list of things we un-broke or otherwise meddled with:

• [Fix] Game will no longer freeze during chosing a resource to gain after our minion was bumped.
• [Fix] Game no longer freezes when we pick an Objective card, have an Ambassador Persona active and the Objectives pile is empty.
• [Fix] Fixes to reverting your action in the end-of-game phase and adjustments to timeline during that phase.
• [Fix] Game 6 dice roll bonus will not be aplied every time anymore.
• [Fix] We will no longer freeze the game during AI turn (or turn replay) by opening random screens. Browse away!
• [Fix] Personas that grant bonus for using buildings with a particular cost now properly also work on Income buildings.
• [Fix] Personas awarding points for a particular type of resource (i.e. cards) at the end of the game now work properly.
• [Fix] Merchant will not grant points twice anymore.
• [Fix] Fixed a bug where we couldn't re-use once-per-game Personas later in the Campaign.
• [Fix] In certain situations guidepost for the Game 6 could have been resolved improperly - which has now been fixed.
• [Fix][Online] This actually happened in the meantime - server code was adjusted and many rooms that were broken are now fixed.
• [AI] AI-Hard has a new playstyle now - it will focus more heavily on construction early in the campaign. (AI picks one of several implemented playstyles at random at the beginning of a game)

More fixes:

• [Fix] Ambassador Persona now works as intended.
• [Fix] Once-per-game Personas now properly work once per game, not all the time. This will only work in newly started games.
• [Fix] Online Play Sky Island placement no longer freezes the game. It actually never did, but it did look like it.
• [Fix] Private Objectives are now displayed properly.
• [Fix] Game will no longer get locked during card selection when there are no cards on the Mat or in the Draw Pile.
• [Fix] Multiplayer games should no longer freeze during the Capacity/Glory end-of-game stages.
• [Fix] Fixed the issue where a player could get blocked when picking a card from Robot on a building the cost of which the player could not afford (but was allowed to go there thanks to a Treasure ignoring the building's cost).
• [Fix] (we believe that) the cases where a single building was the wrong size or shifted in an odd direction should have been eliminated. Hopefully.
• [Fix] Online games will no longer claim it's your turn when it isn't.
• [AI] Numerous tweaks to AI. Should be a bit more clever.
• [Additionally] No more default system coursor! We added a new fancy one.

TL;DR - Map will no longer turn into a Pumpkin Market and we have eradicated most, if not all, well known reasons for the game crashing Things fixed in this patch:

• Issue with reverting your move with the chosen Worker.
• Issue with confirming your turn (rare, but significant).
• Issue stopping the Online Game 2 during the persona selection.
• The entire map turning into a Pumpkin Market.
• Game 9 crashing bug.
• Issue with placing the first building in the Online Campaign.
• Some numerous other small fixes.

Hey there! First of all, we are very grateful to all of you who care enough to voice your concerns and report issues. And we listen! Now, aside from posting here, we'd like to encourage you to use the in-game feedback feature. It allows us to load your game state and have a proper look at what was happening at the time of any issue - thus making it so much easier to solve! You can find the feedback button in the game's rulebook - just press the (?) icon anywhere you can find it (i.e. pause menu) and click the feedback button in the bottom right corner. The first patch will be live on Steam today on Steam. We can't guarantee the same for iOS, due to patch acceptance process - being additionally slowed down by the global pandemic. But it will come! Finally, we'd like to thank you for your patience in these trying times. Lockdown is not easy on any of us, but we do our best to provide you with as good of a game as we can. Sincerely, Acram Digital developer team
