  • Renamed Difficulty Settings: Difficulty modes now clearly differentiate between preset and custom setups. Custom configurations display as "Custom," with individual settings detailed in-game for better transparency.
  • Crowning Ambitions Expanded: Events tied to Ambition victories now offer three choices instead of two, providing more variety and smoother paths to victory.
  • Grand Vizier Role Rework: Grand Viziers now act as governors in cities without one, focusing solely on production management. This adjustment simplifies their role while aligning it with their intended purpose.
