Hi everyone, I've got another hotfix in the works , this one fixes a fair amount of critical things and reworks how WASD panning works. so i'll be leaving it on the BETA PATCH branch for the coming week.. so it can get tested before it gets distributed.

• reduced overlap distance where you can build to 50 , need to be really close before a settlement gets confused
• reduced war requirement to 400 population and an escort of 4
• depletion also returns a wood for level 1 towers and wood and stone for level 2(command) towers
• prevented a "we need stone to build here" message when clicking to fast"
• prevented players from building within a reasonable distance of another npc settlement (and thus claiming it conquered)
• prevented wonder placement message from repeating
• trade posts don't show the text "depleted"
• inventory shows total unit cap
• bug prevented for infinite spawning capital ships
• show the amount of units and unit cap in inventory
• pie shaped foundations won't drop off till below the water and have logical bottoms (for future hanging situations)
• you can no longer build walkways or walls right thru the stormy waters of the maw or the future edge
• Reduced the number of units in waves if there are already a lot of war units (in non total conquest)
• removed hammer sound when something cannot be built
• reworked WASD camera panning to reset smoothly after changing focus
• reworked WASD camera panning to be snappier and wider

Now the console patches are progressing thru certification as we speak, so they won't have these changes. They will be added with the next major free content update (no name for that yet, but the edgy one I teased) GOG/EGS similarly will get this hotfix in the next update, and are receiving the evolution update at the same time as the console patches go out. To try out the beta patch , just right click on game properties, go to BETAS and select the beta patch. wait for the game to update and you should be good to go. Please report any bugs , the quicker I can fix and get this one out to everyone, as it contains a few hot topics from the forums addressed.
