Apologies for the frequent updates the week of release. Originally we had planned a version 1.10 update with some additional gameplay features for June 10/11, but I felt that the bugs reported should be addressed ASAP. That being said, there are 2 additional bug fixes included with v1.10. Thank you for your understanding and for reporting these bugs. :)

v1.10 changes

New features:

Do you experience some seasons where you have nothing to do except give speeches? Try out these new commands while waiting on that tax income! NOTE: Your existing save should be compatible with these new features.

• Plague Doctors: Send out your royal doctors to prevent a plague from occurring in that region for the next season. Your people look upon this profession with suspicion, so expect a very small morale cost and a short-lasting benefit. This command can be found under the Develop menu.
• Demand Tribute: Do as the enemy does! Demand a weak neighboring country to pay you ducats in tribute. This will make them angry but you could use the money, right? You can't do this infinitely as they will eventually stop paying. If the neighboring country becomes more powerful militarily, they will not give in to your demands. This command can be found under the Diplomacy menu.
• Artisans: You can now reassign troops into laborers. This is a unidirectional change that will increase that region's trade level at the cost of some of your current troops. This acts as another means of improving manufacturing of goods rather than spending money directly. This command can be found under the Trade menu.

These commands are available in both Easy and Hard modes.

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug where music keeps playing after continuing a saved game where music was turned off
• Fixed a bug where allied countries may attack your other regions before the treaty has expired
