Version 0.6 is up!
v0.6 is something of a revamp of the de jure duchy/kingdom setup which some people (myself included) did not really take to in the new patch -- included herein are also a multitude of additions, changes and (hopefully temporary) fixes.
Many thanks to my usual playtesters for their feedback and suggestions, and to those who have let me include elements of their work either in full or in part.
This version is for the new 1.05b patch/hotfix combo. Click here if you'd like to see some screenshots.
All feedback/bug reports here please.
