Citizens,
[p]After careful review of the latest field reports and internal evaluations, the State has issued a final adjustment to the Early Access deployment schedule.[/p][p][/p]The Early Access launch of Pax Autocratica is now set for May 7, 2026 (previously March 4).
[p]This date is final.[/p][p][/p]Why the deployment window has been adjusted
[p]Thanks to the volume and quality of field reports from our backers, Auctoritas, and demo/prologue players, several critical areas require additional refinement before the State authorizes full Early Access operations.[/p][p]In particular:[/p]- [p]Early Experience & Onboarding[/p]Zitat:[p]Final adjustments to how new citizens are introduced to core systems, improving early-game flow, clarity, and pacing based on player feedback.[/p][/*]
- [p]Core Systems Polish & Balance[/p]Zitat:[p]Light tuning across progression, base building, and management systems to incorporate requested quality-of-life improvements and ensure a smoother, more consistent experience. [/p][/*]
- [p]Performance & Stability[/p]Zitat:[p]Ongoing optimization and bug fixing to address reported performance issues, edge cases, and crashes before Early Access authorization.[/p][p][/p][/*]
Why this matters
[p]Early Access is not an excuse to deploy a half-baked system.[/p][p]It is the foundation upon which the State is built.[/p][p][/p][p]Releasing prematurely would compromise the experience, the vision, and the trust you’ve placed in us. We would rather delay once—decisively—than ask you to endure an experience that does not yet meet our standards.[/p][p][/p][p]So yes, we are letting it cook a little longer.[/p][p]You will not be disappointed.[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/34947942/16c9517d9e4cbfead920ea6c862a8f567678c6b1.png"][/img][/p][p]Thank you for your patience, your reports, and your unwavering vigilance.[/p][p][/p][p]The State listens.The State refines.
And on May 7, the State deploys.[/p][p][/p][p]— High Command[img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/34947942/cad4a7ad5a7e7bda092b5ae59183e6efbe3f7474.jpg"][/img][/p]
