General Changes

• Implemented a new ranking system.
• Coalitions and solo players now share the same ranking. Ranking is based on how close you are to your victory points goal. A solo player with a higher fulfilled percentage towards his victory goal will rank higher than a coalition that might have more points in total, but is behind on the percentage of achieving their VP goal.
• Coalitions finishing below 1st place now also receive rewards.
• Added a popup confirmation for canceling ongoing research, production or construction projects.
• Removed the “Under Attack” status in the army bar to avoid an issue where players received wrong information about the current status of their units.
• Made it so that army labels are now also displayed in low graphics mode.
• Updated the description of carriers. It now correctly reflects that planes can only be stationed on carriers by flying them to the carrier.
• Updated unit descriptions and shortened them to avoid repeat information about unit abilities.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that caused the wrong team victory rewards to be displayed in some languages.
• Fixed an issue where, after selecting multiple items in the province list, they were automatically deselected after a short while.
• Fixed a bug in Firefox that caused checkboxes to be displayed instead of the intended toggles.
• Fixed an issue that caused the “At War with” section in the Nation Info window to not be localized in some languages.
