The list below is a summary of most updates, additions and fixes since the last update post, this is not an exhaustive list. Features appearing in the post below may not necessarily be in their final state and may change in subsequent updates.

It's been a busy 2 months due to the birth of my first son, but we're starting to get into the flow of things and I'm back working on Cartel Empire as much as I can which seems like a nice return to normality. As for the game, we've seen the release of the new Achievements system, which brings together and incentivises players to discover and used many of the features in the game that they may have originally overlooked, improvements to the chat and Friends & Enemies systems and a whole suite of background improvements that will be released very shortly to spee dup some of the most commonly used pages.

I'm looking forward to seeing what we can do over the next year, and with that, I hope you all have a brilliant New year from Bolivia!

Thanks to you all for being such a brilliant bunch of people, you all make it a joy to keep working on Cartel Empire!
