The most important info on patch 1.0.2

• When will the update be released? You will be able to download the patch from 13 October 2021 at 12 noon. The servers are expected to be down for approximately five hours

• How big is the patch? The download size is 177.4 MB. But you have to unpack 12.1 GB of archive files
• Influence gain adjusted: When attacking a territory, the developers have lowered the influence gain over time for the attacking faction and even removed the influence loss over time for the defending faction. This should make it more difficult to put an area into a state of war.There are no other changes in terms of gameplay. Instead, the patch focuses on bug fixes in the world, corrects translation problems and corrects minor respawn errors.

The complete patch notes for Update 1.0.2

Faction Missions:

• We have adjusted the influence gain over time so that it still requires significant effort to bring a territory to war:

• The influence gain over time has been significantly reduced for the attacking faction. This was due to a bug that caused influence to increase much faster than intended.

• • • Removed the loss of influence over time for defending factions.
