Ages of Conflict:World War Simulator is regularly updated game since it's first beta version in August 20, 2022. These updates are carried out by the Game's solo developer JokuPelle with community suggestions and bugs taken into account, These updates happen at least once a month. They are released on Steam and the Discord.
You can take a PNG screenshot of the current map using F1-key (cities are not included). These are currently saved into the game directory > Ages of Conflict_Data > Screenshots. I may change this later, but for now they are here so they don't get saved into Steam Cloud
Raised size limit for imported maps (meaning maps made outside the in-game editor) from 500k pixels to 4 million pixels
Added a warning for maps & scenarios larger than 500k pixels telling you that those maps might not run well. So play at your own risk!
Added an overall size bar to Map Editor Setup view to more easily know how close to max your map size is
In scenario editor, when you remove a nation, it doesn't remove the city unless you hold shift while doing it
Added a text popup for peace deals. These are disabled by default
Bugfixes & Improvements
You can now manually type map dimensions in the Map Editor
Instead of Map Editor width and height limit both being stuck at 600 pixels, now they are dynamically changed based on changing the other, to make it so that overall max size is always 360k pixels
If "Hide Bottom Row" option is turned on, text popups will move to the bottom corner when bottom row gets hidden
Fixed a bug where city popup didn't close after removing selected city in Scenario Editor
Fixed a bug where classic revolts spawned with only one tile
You can choose the look of puppet nations in Display Settings, so either the new color overlays similar to overlord, or the colored border. This setting will be saved
You can now see the puppets of your allies on Diplomatic View
You can now see the puppets of your overlord's allies in Diplomatic View
Added missing tooltip to Puppet control action
When on Alliance view, if an allied nation has puppets, their border will use the alliance color instead of grey
Slightly adjusted puppet colorization to make puppets not blend so much with their overlord
Fixed a bug where the "No Nation selected!" text color in Territory Painter did not update correctly
Fixed a bug where puppets of allied nations could declare war on each other
If a city has a name and a new nation spawns there as a revolt, it will be given the same name instead of a random name
If you click the info icon in main menu containing the save folder location, the folder path will be copied to your clipboard to hopefully make finding the folder easier

Updated user files location for custom maps/scenarios/saves
I "fixed" the default file location for files generated by the user, so now when you open your game, custom maps, scenarios and saves made by YOU will seem to be missing.
Here's how you can relocate your old files to the new folder:
Open the game and double check the new folder name from the info bubble on "New Game" List
Open your file explorer and go to your Users folder and then to the correct User folder (you might have multiple users but go to the one mentioned in the game info bubble). Also depending on your computer's language the name of some folders might be localized.
Once inside the username folder, you might not see the Library folder because it is usually hidden. You can show hidden folders by pressing "Command" + "Shift" + "." (period). You should see a semi transparent Library folder.
From there you should be able to navigate to the Application Support folder, where you should find both the old and new folders. You can then simply move all your custom files from inside the old "com.DefaultCompany.2DProject" folder to the new "com.JoySparkGames.AgesOfConflict" folder.
When you open the game again, your old custom files should show up again
Completely reworked God Mode Panel. There is now a separate panel which can be opened next to the Statistics Panel, where World Settings and new Tools will be included
Old God Mode panel in Nation View has been renamed to Actions and improved
Added World AI Setting for disabling nations leaving Alliances on their own
Added option for a Static Combat Efficiency, in addition to Random and Progressive
