Patch Notes - 0.5.0

Apr 28, 2026

Added more actions for Peer Rivals (Russia and China), especially those related to gameplay systems that have recently come online, such as the Wars subsystem.

[Gameplay] Fixed an issue where the save game was taking an unreasonably long time to write after the game progressed past the first few years in office.

[UX] Streamlined the setup of the initial game so players don’t need to roll individually for every element they don’t choose, like the public’s Legislative Priorities, Congressional Friends and Enemies, and your Vice President and Campaign Promise. This speeds up the game start, getting you into the action significantly faster.
[UX] Added an ‘Express Setup’ option at the start of the game where the game will also choose Cabinet Members and Administrative Priorities automatically, if you want an even faster setup and are willing to accept the game’s choices for these elements.

Mr. President
