Patch 1.092 is now live on Steam and GamersGate!
The GamersGate version is up now, though it might take a while for it to show in the launcher.
(GamersGate Mac version)
Old save games should be completely compatible.
CHECKSUM: ICBN
This patch rebalances Merchant Republics: There is now a limit to how many Trade Posts you can have, based on palace upgrades and the number of adult male dynasty members in your court. "Family Dues" are now paid only to adult male dynasty members in your court, and they all receive the same share. Also, the Seize Trade Post plot has been nerfed in several ways (see the change log below.)
NOTE: Due to various unexpected problems in the engine, there are still known issues with multi-player on Mac and Linux. We will solve these for patch v1.10.
