You can find all changes in this version in the following changelog. We wish you lots of fun with this release, stay safe!
Features:
- Elections can now contain multiple provisions. IE: add a law, remove a demographic, and update an election, process, etc in a single election.
- A special privilege is granted during a new constitution election, allowing any civic object addition to be attached to that election. Allows the founding constitution to configure multiple aspects of government at once.
- Added new properties to Election Processes to instant-finish with success/fail if the percent of total voters reaches a given value of yes/no.
- When a world object with attached civic objects is removed, those objects become orphaned, and can be reclaimed by anyone who puts down a matching type. IE, if someone picks up the court to kill the laws, someone else can put down another court and reclaim them.
