November Updates

01/12/2022

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 very busy month personally, since the last updates thread I've got married, travelled to Mexico for several weeks and had the opportunity to visit one of the seven wonders of the world. But somewhere inbetween all this personal growth we've continued to see Cartel Empire grow and more features and bug fixes being rolled out. 

I hope that you're all enjoying playing Cartel Empire as much as I'm enjoying developing it for all of you.
