Please find below the patch notes for version 1.3.2

Release Date: Thursday, January 29th, 10AM UTC | 11AM CET

Highlights

• Adjustments to the prices of many goods
• Increased likeliness and intensity of Major Incidents
• Fixed issue related to global religion buffs
• Fixed several causes for crashes and desyncs

Balancing

• The base prices of many goods were adjusted (mostly increased), resulting in higher buying and selling prices[list]
• Consumption was accordingly also very slightly decreased for some goods

• Difficult and aggressive rivals are now more likely to declare war on the player[list]
• We have adjusted multiple behaviour reasons to make it more likely for rivals to start wars, including the smaller feuds
• Specifically Neferneru and Concordia are now also more likely to ally against the player
• The intention is to provide more challenge for players seeking it

Major city incidents are more impactful

• Increased number of rioters to be defeated (Riots), increased number of people to be evacuated (Fire), increased number of sick people to be picked up (Plague)
• Additionally, taking any such actions (defeating rioters, etc.) reduces the incident by only 1min each now

Major incidents will happen more often

Increased the population threshold for city status changes in early game (level 3 + 4) to allow players to build wide for longer
