### 2.0.1 — 2026-06-28

Empire screen redesign
Your kingdom now tells a story at a glance. The screen opens with your goals (Legacy Destination + era progress) before your stats — so you always know why you're playing and what to do next. Chronicle appears above World Events so your own history reads before live news.

World Events — smarter icons
Each event card now shows the icon that matches its effect on you. Consistent with the legend in the help sheet.

Choice events — mystery restored
When you encounter a historical event for the first time, you now see only the opening line of each option — enough atmosphere to feel the weight of the decision, not enough to spoil the outcome. Replay the event and you'll see the full rewards upfront.

Bug fixes
Fixed several screens (PvP results, Shop, Settings) that were showing English text to Vietnamese players.

### 2.0 — 2026-06-27

History just got more interactive.

• 21 new historical events: every civilization now faces defining moments from its own history. Your first choice is a leap into the unknown - future runs reveal what you've learned.
• Research expanded through all 8 eras, with new Tier 4 and Tier 5 nodes for the Modern and Space Ages.
• Doctrine abilities: complete your chosen doctrine to unlock a unique active ability for each run.
• Leaderboard improvements: see your true global ranking.
• Adjust daily reward to match with each 

Start a new run. Your legacy awaits.
