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.

So first things first, yes this update post is rather late. I'll backdate the posted date but you're not crazy, I've just been too busy to get around to this.

With that out of the way though let's get on to the bit you all care about. Over the past month we've released the revival system, allowing Cartels and players to specialise into reviving players, this will become more important over time once the system we're just about to mention comes online...

Work started last month on the new Territory War system which will allow Cartels to fight over regions of Bolivia, with prizes up for grabs for the biggest and the baddest Cartels around. The works going very well so far with a functioning territory system and all the basics of a war system now in-place. Next up is developing the bonuses for holding regions.
