The First Age is Upon Us — Stone Age
[h3]Greetings, Universe Architects!

[h2]Research Race Updates[/h2]
Our new competitive leaderboard feature, the Research Race, has undergone a couple major iterations now. We've collected a lot of your feedback and are looking ahead at long term quality of life improvements. Before we can get there, this update is on the smaller side. Here's what to look out for in this patch:
In other news, Beyond Episode 20 will be making its appearance to the public very soon. It is in the final stages of polish and tuning. We will be moving away from the stars as we begin to chart strange territory. I wonder what Semblance will find…

Thank you for your continued support and remember to stay cellular!

- We’ve introduced seven new trait nodes on the Main Simulation tree.
- Add four unique trophy nodes to the Civilization tree: Stonehenge, Göbekli Tepe, Dog Domestication and Lascaux.
- Purchase the Stonehenge glitch node with your hard earned Metabits.
- Göbekli Tepe, Dog Domestication and Lascaux are three new prizes that can be purchased in the Logit Store. They will appear in the Civilization Garden once purchased.

We've collected a lot of your feedback and are looking ahead at long term quality of life improvements. Before we can get there, this update is on the smaller side. Here's what to look out for in this patch:
- Research Race party size has been decreased to 15 players.
- Now you see me, now... you still do! Players should now be able to see themselves in their participating Research Race, as well as the correct ranking of participants in the side tab.
- Ordering of players in the Research Race is now fixed to properly represent progress.
- Minor UI bug fixes.
The Civilization: Stone Age update is available to all players on Steam today and will be available on iOS and Android on 10/16/2023.
