Settle the World - Bugfix Update - May 2024

The bugfix update is finished and is recommended for everyone who is still playing on the April 2024 version.
In addition to fixing bugs, the movement system of units has been reworked.
Units can now move a little more, and the player should now receive the message about too few movement points much less frequently.

Furthermore, Settle the World can now be played completely in the German language.
This also lays the technical basis for additional translations into other languages.

Of course, the game still contains bugs or features that do not yet work properly.
Settle the World is far from finished...but with this bugfix update it is much more playable than ever before.

I would be very happy to receive feedback from players about this update. The amount of work involved in creating this update was really enormous.

Changelog:

Changes:
- Almost all ingame texts have been translated into german. The game is therefore completely playable in the german language.

- Natives no longer block city squares as long as relations with the tribe are reasonably good

- Natives no longer block roads as long as relations with the tribe are reasonably good

- Movement system for units reworked. If units still have some movement points left after their turns, they can now usually reach the next square and no longer have to wait until the next turn. It's unrealistic, but it speeds up the gameplay considerably and is more fun.
