WorldBox - God Simulator - WorldBob

We are proud to announce the long-awaited release of MEGABOX!

This patch has been many months in the making and combines multiple systems and 7 updates into one.

It adds:
- Ages - seasons that last for many years and bring disasters or prosperity to the world. From nightfall to madness, there’s many surprises included
- Alliances - they improves diplomacy by making civilizations unit together against common foes
- New Wars - wars now are more detailed. And you will be able to track how long it has been going on, including the death toll, etc
- Clans - kingdoms can and will be ruled by bloodlines and families.
- Plans and Plots - addition to diplomacy, for making it more transparent who’s plotting what
- Music - we added new sound engine. Together with music based on what you’re watching right now and many new sounds!

Overall we have over 550 changes ( and many that we have forgotten )

Enjoy 0.21.0!
