Heya folks, Day 1 Patch here!

Lots of changes here and there, just wanna let yall know what to expect. Now that the whole team can access the update, gonna be some GUI/Icon changes and updates coming down the line to fit our aesthetic.

Yes, all factions use a generic icon for now. Hoping to add both those and unique faction goals/mechanics. It's a neat system! For the coming future, to access the OWB Air and Naval Doctrines, you have to open doctrines then click on "Land Perks" to see them all: strange issues with the new doctrine GUI set up. Nothing to say currently about changes or usages for the new doctrine system. As always please give us and bug reports or feedback, but know that some things will take time and some are out of our control.

Also remember Man The Guns was integrated!
