Hello everyone!
Patch 1.10.2 of the "Collie" update is now live and should be downloading through Steam and Microsoft Store as we speak. The new checksum is f82d.
This update brings a number of bug fixes and balance changes to the 1.10.1 release of last month (see changelog below for details).
Saves made with 1.10.1 are expected to be fully compatible with 1.10.2 and you can continue your previous game without risk.
Should you still have an older saved game (from 1.9 "Husky" or 1.8 "Fork"), it will not be compatible with 1.10.2, even if the game does not report it as such. This is sadly an issue we could not fix in this patch without painful side effects (see the known issues page).
As always, if you have an older save you can finish it by rolling back to an older patch.
If you discover any bugs in patch 1.10.2, please report them in the bug report forum as usual.
Edit: added missing changelog about "Form Greater Greece" not granting core on Istanbul.
